Arsenal humilated by Manchester United

Manchester United 8-2 Arsenal

This will later today also be in Norwegian under the page "on Norwegian"

Arsene Wenger has really get something to work with after a humilating 8-2 defeat at Old Trafford. Arsenal has started the Premier League season terrible, and after a goalless draw at Nwecastle and a 2-0 defeat at the Emirates against Liverpool Arsenal wanted to show that they are bether than what they had showen the two firsth matches. But they did not prove anything, neither that they desperately need reinforcments the coming days.

The match was even until Uniteds firsth goal after 22 minutes. Djorou seemed to had controll on the ball played from Nani, but when he tried to shield the boal so Szczesny could take it and Szczesny was just watching Welbeck was tough and headed the ball over Szczesny and into 1-0. This goal could easly be avoided if the communication in defence had been bether.

And when Van Perise missed a penalty on 1-0 the team colapsed. Van Persie's penalty was poor and there is no doubt that the miss affected the team. Only minutes later Manchester United increased the lead to both two and three zero.

Theo Walcott scored in the 45 minute and lighted the possibility to catch Uniteds lead. The goal came after a typical Arsenal attack. In the firsth 15 minutes of second half Arsenal had many oppurtunities to score, but when they did not take the opportunities Rooney did. In the 64 minute he added a new goal and making the score 4-1. Only six minutes after Rooney scored Manchester United had scored two more and had determined the match.

Van Persie scored Arsenal second goal after 75 minutes, but it did not help much because at the end of the match Manchester had scored two new goals and making the final score 8-2.

Arsene Wenger said after the match that it was incredible embarrassing. He also told that he has no plans to leave the club and that there might be some new signings the last days if the tranfer window.

The only plus today was that the Arsenal supporters did make impressive much sound at Old Trafford. From the 45 minute to the 60 minute you could hear the Arsenal supporters continuous and only the Manchester United supprters twice in ten seconds. Just impressive! The best supporters in England, with no doubt!

The team with rankings:

Szczesny 6.0 - did not have any mistake berfore any goals, saved Arsenal from double-digit defeat

Traore 3.5 - did not do any bug mistakes, but neither any good involvments

Koscielny 4.0 - was arsenal best in defence, did save Arsenal from more goals

Djorou 3.5 - terrible on the firsth United goal, played with no controll

Jenkinson 3.0 - red card, had no controll on the Manchester United strikers

Ramsey 6.0 - absouletly Arsenal best players, had controll in midtfield and started some good attacks

Arshavin 4.0 - Had some good offensive raids, but where was he in defence?

Rosicky 3.5 - Not a good match by Rosicky, terrible in the hole match

Coquelin 4.5 - A really good debut, did look like he had played many matches before

Walcott 5.5 - Scored a goal, was Arsenal best offensive weapon with Van Persie

Van Persie 5.5 - Missed a penalty, but scored a goal. Arsenal best offensive player with Walcott.

Arsenal going to improve a new bid on Gary Cahill

Arsenal did recently bid around £10 millions on Gary Cahill. Bolton did only laugh of the bid and said they needed £17 millions for the defender.

Arsene Wenger is now preparing a new and improven bid on Cahill on £12 million, which could rise to £15 million if depending on if he wins any trophies either with Arsenal or with country in the firsth five years.

Superb win away against Udinese qualifies Arsenal to Champions league!

Also in norwegian!

Udinese 1-2 Arsenal, 1-3 on aggregate

Arsenal has reach the Champions league group stage after a fantastic win away against Udinese where Arsenal showed attacking skills and caracter. After being down 1-0 after a Di Natale goal for Udinese, Arsenal showed great caracter and went out in second half with offensive press. Arsenal had a lot of chances and the goal had to come, and it came. 

Gervinho used his fantastisc pase and tecnique to delivere a perfect hard pass to Robin Van Persie who could not do anything other than score. 

Arsenal was just finished with celebrating the goal before Udinese got a unintelligble penalty. The refere had apparently seen a handboal (that no other on the stadium had seen) on Thomas Vermaelen and a yellow card was given to the arsenal defender. The Udinese star striker Di Natale steppping forward to take the penalty and give Udinese the lead, but so easy was not it. Szczesny showed his incredible range he has by saving the penalty entirely by the post. The penalty save showing that nothing will stop Arsenal for reaching the group stage in Champions league!

After the penalty save Arsenal regane the controll in the match and Sagna delivered a clever pass to Walcott where Theo used his speed to come alone with the keeper and sending the ball on the left side for the keeper and into the goal! A good goal that secured Arsenals place in the Champions league.

The rest of the match Arsenal had totally controll and it was only one team on the pitch. Arsenal where closer to put a third goal than Udinese was to a second. After the match it was a relived Arsene Wenger being interviewed.

"Yes, I am relived. We are also proud of playing a superb match and coming back after being 1-0 down. Of course we wants to play in the best tournament, it is there we belong. Maybe this will bring some new players to the club now, but I can not say any names jet" says Arsene Wenger after the match 

There are no doubt this will save a bit of the season for the gunners. This may even be a result bringing new players to Arsenal. Eden Hazard has told that he will join Arsenal, but only if they qualifies to the Champions League.

Arsene Wenger has been exposed for a massiv press both from the supporters and the press, but this will probably end the discusion about Arsene Wengers position in Arsenal.

W.Szczesny : 9.0

Preview: Udinese-Arsenal

Arsenal has a 1-0 victory after the firsth leg on Emirates to rely on. It was a close match, but Theo Walcotts early goal proved to be the difference between the teams. Szczensy had some amazing saves, but also Arsenal had the opportunity to score more goals.

Arsenal need to not let Udinese striker Di Natale get the opportunities to score goals because he has proven that he can score the most spectaculary goals for the italiens.

For arsenal can Gervinho and Song play, while they still banned for Premier League, and should regain there starting positions. Djorou is fit again after beeing injured the last week, same is Traore. Rosicky will face a last fitness test today, and if he pass he will play the match.

Arsene Wenger says the match is important, and that the team will be absolutely motivated to the game. They will do all they can to beat and qualified to the Champions League.

City and Arsenal agree for tranfer of Samir Nasri

It is not official jet, but it is just the medical test that remains before Samir Nasri is a Manchetser City player. The hole summer has Samir Nasri been linked to City, and now finally the deal seems to be completed.

Wenger wants to buy four star players!

This article is also in norwegian, check the site "on norwegian" to read it on norwegian!

Arsene Wenger is in a really pressed situation after one point in the Premier League after two matches. He has sold Fabregas, Clichy and now maybe Nasri with only one star signing coming in.

Now the rumors tells that Arsene Wenger will buy four star players to add to the squad. The four being Moussa Sow, Phil Jagielka, Eden Hazard and Bastian Schweinsteiger.

Moussa Sow has going out to media begging for Arsenal to give Lille a bid that can release him from the french club and make him to a gunner. It hears so fantastic until you hear rhat he said just the same to Real Madrid, so it will be exiting to watch where the ligue 1 top scorer will end.

Everton has already refused two bid at Phil Jagielka, but Wenger now says that he is willing to improve the bids on the defender.

Eden Hazard are cousin with Tomas Vermaelen, making the tranfer to Arsenal more attractive. I write again what he siad for a copple of days ago: " I really want to join Arsenal, but only if they reach the group stage in Champions League". It means that Arsenal must beat Udinese to get Hazard's contract.

A new, but really interesting, tranfer rumor is that Bayer Munchens star player Bastian Schweinsteiger is in Arsene Wenger thoughts. This is not rumors from very political correct sources, but they do not often come up with totally wrong rumors. Lets wait and see!

Status from the injuried players

Jack Wilshere are back in fitness after being injuried. He will maybe be ready for Udinese on Wednesday, but at least he will be ready for the big match against Manchester United at Old Trafford in the weekend.

Djorou also have a chance to play against Udinese, and Sogn and Gervinho are only suspended in Premier League so the can play the match in Italy.

On the question of Squillaci soon is recovered after injurie, Wenger says that it is still a little while before he can play matches.

A lot of monday tranfer rumors!

This article is also in norwegian, you can read it in the page "on Norwegian"

It is a lot of tranfer rumors today, and it all points at one thing: that Arsene Wenger is ready to spend money.

Arsene Wenger have given a bid to Lille for over £20 millions for Eden Hazard. Hazard says that he will not join the club if they do not beat Udinese, and qualifies to Champions League.

Wenger wants also to buy at leat one defender, and Arsenal are willing to give Niklas Bendtner to Werder Bremen if they get the defender Per Mertesacker in return. Mertesacker tells that his plan is staying in Werder Bremen.

The next Premier League match are against Manchester United and with no goals jet in the Premier League Arsene Wenger wnats to add the Lazio striker Mauro Zarate before the match at Old Trafford.

2-0 defeat against Liverpool

Arsene Wenger chould be prepare for more critical questions after a unlucky defeat against Liverpool. It was a close game until Frimpong got his second yellow card. Liverpool got more space and took over the game. The firsth goal was a really unlucky own goal where the debutant Miquel shot the ball into Ramsey so the ball did get a perfect arc over Szczesny and into the goal. Arsenal tried to reduce the score but in stead Liverpool scored a second goal on a fast attack when most of the Arsenal players still was in attack.

Arsenal got bad news already after 14 minutes, Laurent Koscielny had to be substitue with the youngster Miquel. Before the match already Arsenal had huge injuries problems so thsi was absolutely not what Arsene Wenger and Arsenal needed. It did that Wenger had to play with three debuts in Miquel, Jenkinson and Frimpong and later Landsbury.

Now it will be a really important match against Udinese in Italy in the middle of the week where Arsenal have a 1-0 victory after the firsth leg at Emirates. For match report: http://thearsenalblogg.blogspot.com/2011/08/decisive-match-in-udine.html

The player ratings:

W. Szczesny 8.0: - played a really good match, could not do anything with the two goals, but had some amazing saves

C.Jenkinson 6.0: - played a good debut, but was a bit passive so it came a lot of croses into the arsenal box from his side

T.Vermaelen 9.0: - with no doubt Arsenal best player, where was the mistakes? Had full controll with Andy Caroll.

L.Koscielny **: Played good until he got injured just after 14 minutes. Huge set back for arsenal.

B.Sagna 6.5: Played good and solid on right back. Was good offensive, and had controll defencive to.

E.Frimpong 5.5: Started sloppy, but got bether. Was close to score on a long distance shot in firsth half. Played tough the hole game and the red card was no suprise.

A.Ramsey 6.0: Had a lot of passes that did not come trough. Was invisible in many minutes of the match.

T.Walcott 6.5: Lost the ball several times and did not create much.  
S.Nasri 7.5: Did play a good match. Created some chances alone. Was Arsenal most dangerous player for Liverpool.
A.Arshavin 6.0: Had a lot of misses, but also some good involvments, not close to his top level
R.Van Persie 7.0: Did not have many chances but the few chances he had he made something of. Had a huge chance after about 70 minutes where it should have been a goal for Arsenal.



Szczesny played a good match



Subsitution:

I.Miquel 7.0: Played a impressive debut after comming in for Koscielny. Had controll and proved that he is a talent for the future.

H.Landsbury **: Came in after Frimpong's red card. Played ok.
N.Bendtner**: Did came in to reduce for Arsenal, but did not have any opportunity.

Preview: Arsenal-Liverpool

A victory today against Liverpool can be really important and stop the caos that are in the club. The fans are critic to Wenger selling and not buying, several player are injured and both Gervinho and Song are suspended.

A defeat, unlike a victory, will create more caos. And the next matches after the Liverpool match are away against Udinese where they have to loose with just 1 goal, play draw or win the match. Next weekend Arsenal plays at Old Trafford. It is no doubt that it is not just joy and happiness in the london club right now, but a victory today could end that situation.

For many years the problem for Arsenal has been the keepers, but now Szczesny seems to be the right man in that position. This year it is more on the field we have problems. Van persie needs help to score goals, and the midtfield needs more players after Fabregas and maybe Nasri leaving the club. Clichy leaved the club in defences, so it would not be stupid to buy a defender to.

Lets hope Arsenal wins the match!
