Michele's post about Nicholas Burdisso scoring a hat trick of goals against Messina with Inter boasting an arsenal of goal snipers like Adriano, Crespo, and Ibrahamovic, recalls the last time Arsenal won a game, decimating Liverpool, 3-0. All the goals were scored by defenders. Flamini, Toure, and Gallas. That game had Thierry Henry and Robin Van Persie, who gave a clinic on how to defend! It was football at its best, unselfish and free flowing.
Sadly, Arsenal is now a team in disarray. Who knew the game against Liverpool would take so much from the Gunners? We cannot afford to lose games to West Ham and Fulham when Chelsea and Man Utd are clobbering these teams. Arsenal have lost to Bolton at the Reebok, the last four years, and with an injury depleted team this time around, it was going to be hard to reverse the trend. All the more reason, that they should have won against Fulham.
A plea to Wenger, don't just leave gas in the tank against teams like Man Utd, Liverpool, and Chelsea. There are 16 other teams you have to play in the Prem and they all count.
