Arsenal 7 – 1 Blackburn Rovers: Match Thoughts And Individual Analysis

Arsenal News — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 19:46:25 +0000

Well, we kind of had an idea that Arsenal were playing well but not getting the results. It was a matter of details according to Arteta, Wenger, and others. It all came good in this one as Blackburn were the hapless victims of a rampant Arsenal side. Chance conversion was another issue which was put to bed, at least temporarily, with 7 out of 8 shot on target registering on the scoreboard. Benayoun was the only one who missed out as his hopeful half-volley went straight to Arsenal’s favourite opposition goalkeeper. A couple of deflections also helped the cause. On the whole this was an e...

Arsene Wenger has been hit hard by the recent protests against the club’s directors by the fans, but his side have certainly not as they beat Blackburn Rovers 7-1 at The Emirates Stadium.

The Reebok, 7-1 thrashing, and Oxdale-Chamberlain

Arsenal News — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 18:59:12 +0000

Arsenal played out a frustrating goalless draw against Bolton Wanders a the Reebok Stadium on Wednesday evening. The result leaves the gunners in real danger of missing out on a place in next season’s Champions League, as Arsene Wenger’s side now sit five points behind 4th-placed Chelsea. Wenger made just two changes to the side which beat Aston Villa 82 hours earlier in the FA cup. Bacary Sagna – making his first start since October – and Mikel Arteta, replaced Francis Coquelin and Tomas Rosicky. The Czech playmaker was somewhat unfortunate to be left out of the starting eleven after a run of impressive displays. Arsenal missed several chances on the night. Aaron Ramsey and Theo Walcott both missed excellent chance...
