Preview: Fulham vs Arsenal







Fulham Vs Arsenal


Its the midweek matches again tonight and Arsenal will face Fulham away at Craven Cottage. The Cottagers Coach Chris Coleman has publicly declared his admiration for the Arsenal team. I quote him, "Man United attack very aggressively while Arsenal are more fluent. Arsenal play the best passing game - pound for pound they're the best passing team and are brilliant in tight situations.
Chelsea are a different kettle of fish. You go 1-0 down against Chelsea and it's all over because they're so hard to break down. They have such powerful players and are very, very organised''.





Obviously, Chris is worried about us but at the same time, we cannot let our guard down against Fulham as they are at playing at home and we are just coming off a loss. It always nice to hear some pleasantries about the team but the gloss is a bit off if Captain Sensational is not playing tonight.....




Van Persie is back after his one match suspension but he has been blowing hot and cold for the past few games and it remains to be seen whether he can make any impact with Henry out. My personal preference would be to start Adebayor up front alone to lead the line and let Persie come in after half time to make an instant impact with his speed.



The points are there for the taking and the lads have to bag all 3 points to keep up with the leaders.... We certainly do not want to be out of the race before Christmas....




Cheers,


Go Arsenal!!!
