ARSENAL TO BE TAUGHT A LESSON IN ANFIELD : 3am 22 April 2009

1. Based on the latest news report, it seems Arsenal will be coming to Anfield as a depleted team. They won't have the regulars. There won't be Robin van Persie (groin) and striker Emmanuel Adebayor (hamstring), goalie Manuel Almunia, Gael Clichy (back), William Gallas (knee) and Johan Djourou (knee). But they will have Bacary Sagna who has recovered from a virus and could feature along with fit-again Croatia forward Eduardo.
   


2. On our side, it's still Steven Gerrard that need to recuperate. At this point of juncture, where we understand fully of how the team works, with or without Gerrard - could mean a flip-flop. The team could do very well even without him and of course, without him also caused some questionable performances. but if to analyse the team-without-Gerrard in the Chelsea game, I think it would be okay. Because we have the durable and reliable mothership in Alonso and Mascherano in the middle. Of course, we have Torres at the front. I think we have a formidable team to last the thrilling the must-win of the remaining 5 games.
   


3. There was an article in the UK newspaper arguing that Wenger might not use his top players, fearing injuries in particular for their CL semi-finals. Also mentioned in the report, Sir Alex saying that he is hoping Wenger will help Man.U in stopping Liverpool. Sounds funny. Since when do we rely on our direct nemesis? hahaha...
