Black Friday has come and gone, so
I hope you got good bargains like me who didn’t, there was that odd flash sale
but before I said Jack Wilshere Robinson what you get with a click is “sold
out” or ya internet connection chooses that very moment to slow down. Anyway
Cyber Monday is just around the corner so you never know. Speaking of things Wilshere,
Arsenal welcome Bournemouth to the emirates in a Sunday afternoon kickoff. Nobody
needs to tell Arsene and the Boiz that this has become a must win match. No
disrespect to Eddie Howe and his crew but these are games we should be and have
to win. Simple!! It seems I keep saying that every match is a must win but considering
our hitherto run of consecutive draws, any further slips by way of a draw or
loss would give a severe dent to whatever glimmer of title aspirations we may
be harboring. The gunners just can’t afford anymore dropped points especially
at home where we really need to improve by putting teams to the sword thus making
the Emirates a fortress. Its important the boiz get back to proper organized defending,
clean sheets I keep saying give you a better chance at winning, sometimes even
when you don’t score….Arsenal V PSG at nil nil would have seen us maintain
leadership of Group A in the Champions league, just saying ooo but I am sure
you catch ma drift.
Jenkinson at right back is still suspect to me although I must
say he has been improving but by bit. Nacho Monreal has not been his usual
consistent self which is strange, in the middle of the park will either Play
Ramsey in the double pivot central midfield, paired with Xhaka, maybe further
ahead with Özil on the bench…I know I know. No Ramsey on the wings, it’s
painful to watch Arsene, spare us the misery please.
As you know Jack Wilshire will be
absent from this encounter for obvious reasons. Benik Afobe will probably fancy
a start against his football alma mater in Arsenal Fc. No love lost though as
he has found a nice place nest at the vitality stadium but on this day Arsenal
will have to Keep Him Stanislaus Wilson and co very quiet. Boss the midfield and give ourselves a chance
to score. Without Jack, the Bournemouth midfield lacks a bit of drive as the
few games of theirs I have seen he seems to have steadily become influential in
their play. Eddie Howe is praised for being one of the few small team coaches who lets his
team play expansive football and on their day they could hurt even big teams
besides they don’t seat in 10th position for nothing, at the same time it could be their undoing against the Gunners. Games like
this could be a potential banana skin so the team has to watch it, we haven’t been
playing well so complacency may not be an issue here just our ability to move
up a notch in gears if need be. On a much better note, Oliver Giroud is beginning
to fire them in which is good for his confidence, also news is Hector Bellerin
has signed an extension to his contract, could we get messers Özil and Sanchez
to please not dally on putting pen to paper. Arsenal should better give them
what they desire. My Team sheet will look like this
Subs: Ospina, Chamberlain, Iwobi,
Jeff, Coquelin, El Neny.
A win and nothing less will
assuage a lot of nerves, especially with Man City and Liverpool winning this
evening lets get it boiz. Note i never mentioned novemberI leave you with this piece,
“The United States will
come talk to us when it has a black president and the world has a Latin
American pope,” Fidel Castro supposedly told the world in 1973, a joke or
prophecy that predicted the rise of Obama, Pope Francis and the work to
bring the US and Cuba together again.....Hate him or Love Him, we say RIP Fidel
Castro.
