Our first home game is finally upon us, hopefullly we can get a good result tommorow against what has become a very weak Portsmouth side.
Sorry about the lack of a post since the Celtic game, i havn’t had chance after working so many hours in the lst few days. The Celtic result was a good one for us, if some what unfortunate on their behalf, but we were the better team and deserved to win and it’s about time we had a bit of good fortune. After the win aslong as we don’t concede we should be able to make it a pretty routine qualification frome here and rest some players for the manchester united game.
Just a quick note on Thomas Vermaelen, he was immense on tuesday night he didn’t put a foot wrong the whole game, and to be fair neither did Gallas, they look like they could form the defensive partnership that we have been lacking the last few years and there is still plenty of time for them both to grow and improve together.
Well i may aswell start off with the players we havn’t got available for tommorow; Tomas Rosicky, Johan Djourou, Samir Nasri and Lukasz Fabianski and Theo Walcott are all out but Walcott could be back for the Manchester United game next week. Good news Eduardo is available after pulling out of the Celtic game due to a groin injury.
Predicted Line-Up
Almunia
Sagna, Gallas, Vermaelen, Clichy
Song, Fabregas, Denilson
Bendtner, Van Persie, Arshavin
bench: Mannone, Eduardo, Ramsey, Vela, Merida, Gibbs, Wilshere
The 4-3-3 seems like it could be a good system for us, obviously it will take a while for us to get completely used to it but if we can win 6-1 with a new formation think what we’ll be capable of when we are used to it. The only problem i have with it is that Bendtner is deployed on the right and not in the centre but maybe the boss will change that.
Player to Watch
Vermaelen: I know its not all that exciting choosing a defender but this guy is awesome to watch, he’s not afraid of a tackle, he doesn’t care if he has to take the man aswell as the ball, he’s not afraid of a header and he get forward, i’m expecting big things from him this season.
Match Prediction
I’m going to go with a 4-0 win tommorow, with Bendtner, Van Persie, Denilson and Arshavin with the goals, Portsmouth have hit rock=bottom on the pitch at the moment and i expect us to take advantage of that.
