Arsenal Superb Samir Nasri Covers Up Arsenals Frailties For Now
Blog Article
Last week I posted an article focusing on how Arsenal may suffer in the absence of Cesc Fabregas. Todays 2-1 victory over Fulham has not changed my mind on Arsenal completely, however I feel compelled to write an article focusing on where Arsenal are getting it right; and where they are still lacking in my opinion. I would welcome the opinions of Arsenal fans and football fans alike in determining how the clubs fortunes may pan out over the remainder of the season.Samir Nasri has been Blake Comeau Jersey in exquisite form this season. Photo: BBC Sport.Those who saw the match today at The Emirates Stadium were treated to a Samir Nasri masterpiece. Having seen both of the goals, each was just about as special as it gets. The delightful composure and craftsmanship shown to floor two of Fulhams bemused defenders was exceptional to say the least. Nasri then followed up such an exquisite goal with an even better one. The frenchman collecting a pa s from the fit again Robin Van Persie; ghosting past a Fulham defender, rounding the goalkeeper and finishing from a tight angle after a genius change of body position. 11 goals so far this season is something that few could have predicted from Nasri at the start of the season.So, having discu sed the impact Brett Hull Jersey of the Cesc Fabregas injury earlier in the week, it is clear to see that Arsenal can cope without him for the mean time. The media is reporting that Arsenal played some excellent football today. Adrey Arshavin and Marouane Chamakh reportedly linking up well all game. The returning Robin Van Persie looked sharp and played a significant part in the victory, linking up play well and reportedly come deeper in search of the ball.I do believe that going forward, Arsenal are an outstanding outfit. I stand by comments earlier in the week, where I stated that the absence of Fabregas could hinder Arsenal in bigger games. Todays opposition had the unfortunate record of not winning a Premier League match away from home in two years. Nobody of a sound mind would ever bet on Fulham winning away from home. Despite such an awful record, Arsenal allowed their opponents to get seven shots on target; and a further five attempts off target. Fulham also forced seven corners during the game; highlighting the fact that Arsenal are by no means air tight at the back. Arsenal had 51% po se sion in 90 minutes, a statistic that is normally significantly higher given Arsenals ability to make the opposition work hard to get the ball back.Arsenal have not looked tight at the back, with only four clean sheets in 15 games. Photo: Daily MailI think that with a fully-fit Fabregas Arsenal would crush opposition like Fulham, particularly at home. In a month where Arsenal face Man Utd (A) and Chelsea (H) the true tests are yet to come. Fabregas thrives in such games, soaking up po se sion and tiring the opposition by keeping po se sion so well. Arsenal will need to tighten up at the back if they are to fight off a free-scoring Man Utd side who are sure to capitalise on any frailties. Having only kept four clean sheets in 15 Premier League outings this season Arsenal are used to conceding.For now, Arsenal will pray on weaker opposition where attacking prowe s will override defensive weakne ses. With Man Utds fixture against Blackpool falling victim to the weather and Chelsea showing once again that they are not unbreakable, Arsenal have capitalised when it matters. I think we are in for a stunning title race, but in the short-term we can John Klingberg Kids Jersey sit back and continue to watch the scintillating Samir Nasri give us beautiful football.DH
