Arsenal play from Fabregas and to Fabregas and keep winning

By Myles Palmer

Arsenal 4 Bolton 2
Cahill 7, Taylor (pen) 28, Rosicky 43, Fabregas 52, Vermaelen 65, Arshavin 85

As promised, Arsenal won and went top on goal difference.

22 games played with 15 won and 4 defeats equals 48 points.

Five-a-side football produced four goals against Bolton, who had gone 2-0 up in 28 minutes.

Clichy and Denilson came back into the team and each made a bad mistake which cost a goal.

Clichy miskicked a clearance to Kevin Davies who knocked down for Gary Cahill to score with a left foot volley, and Denilson made an amateurish lunge inside the box to bring down winger Lee. The ball wasn't within tackling range. An awful tackle in the centre circle, let alone in the box. Matt Taylor hit the penalty low to Almunia’s left to give Bolton a 2-0 lead.

Then Fabregas gave Rosicky a pass near the box and Rosicky hit a wicked shot just inside the post that, bizarrely, Jaaskelainen wasn’t covering.

Second half, Fabregas nutmegged the keeper after a shocking foul by Gallas on midfielder Mark Davies. Gallas made a bad pass which went to Davies, then rammed his studs into the guy's ankle. It was a yellow card at least but Alan Wiley waved play on and Fabregas scored. Big clubs get all the decisions, especially when Wiley is around. Davies left the pitch on a stretcher and left the Emirates on crutches.

When Arsenal got a corner, Diaby won the second ball, knocking it down to Vermaelen, who hit a very slick Robbie Fowler shot for 3-2. Then Arshavin scored the goal that put Arsenal top of the table.

Since November 29, they've made up a remarkable 11 points on Chelsea, who now have a game in hand.

VERDICT : A short-passing style produced four goals against a relegation team. Arsenal play swarm football, flowing forward in a tight, narrow, busy group of co-workers, and that style means Fabregas gets more touches and scores more goals than he has done since Flamini left.

To put it more simply, Arsenal play from Fabregas and to Fabregas and it's working well at the moment.

Emile Heskey scored his annual goal for Aston Villa in a 6-4 defeat of Blackburn's 10 men to take them to the Carling Cup Final.

Ashley Young, the snarling arm-waver, was restored to the left wing during the game and scored the last goal in injury time. Maybe he will start to play well now.

At Anfield a feeble Spurs side were beaten 2-0 by a surprisingly vibrant Liverpool.

The league's most clumsy right winger, Dirk Kuyt, was played at centre forward and his first goal was a fine centre forward's strike after a nice assist by Aquillani. Kuyt hit the ball first time from the D into the bottom corner. Shearer couldn't have placed the shot any better. Kuyt's second goal was a twice-taken penalty late on.

In between, Defoe had a goal disallowed. It wasn't offside. A bad mistake by Reina. Big clubs get all the decisions at home. Has anybody seen an away side get a decision at a Big Four ground this season?

As Martin Tyler said, "That was a goal." Meaning : it was a fair goal, not a free-kick decision or a penalty shout.

Spurs lost 2-0 and will always be a Europa Cup outfit.

It's a shame. They used to be better than that under my old mate Keith Burkinshaw.

Good morning, Keith. I still love you.

Wilshere and Szczesny give Arsenal far more authority and guts

By Myles Palmer

Arsenal 2 Barcelona 1

Villa 26, Van Persie 78, Arshavin 83

____________________________

The key player in the Nou Camp will be Szczesny.

So pray that nothing happens to Arsenal’s goalkeeper between now and Tuesday, March 8th.

Barcelona’s style is cleverly-timed runs onto sharp little passes, which ｃｒｅａｔｅs a lot of one-on-one chances with the keeper.

Wojciech Szczesny’s fine positional judgement makes him a master of making opponents shoot into the side-netting or just past the post.

On the goal, he was a bit unlucky because David Villa, a razor finisher in these situations, slotted between his legs.

By contrast, he got lucky on the loose ball after his save, when the scrambling Messi headed in but was flagged offside. Messi wasn't offside.

For me, Szczesny was Arsenal’s best player last night for that reason. Making Messi miss was the name of the game.

Yes, Koscielny played his finest game in an Arsenal shirt.

Yes, Jack Wilshere played with remarkable authority at the heart of the team. England need to play Jack football, Fabio - not Capello football.

Yes, of course, CL knock-out ties are a game of four halves.

Arsenal lost the first half 1-0 and won the second half 2-0 and halves three and four will roll round 20 days from now.

Arsenal raised their tempo after half-time and the game turned on 68 when Keita and Arshavin came on.

Keita replaced Villa to stiffen Barca's midfield, which was running out of steam, and allowed young Busquets to go ball-hunting further up the field.

Arshavin’s arrival (for Song) allowed him to link in a cool manner with Clichy, who played a killer ball forward into the box with his right-foot and gave Van Persie a chance to hit a mighty left-foot shot on the half- volley inside the near post of Victor Valdes for 1-1.

Valdes has always had flaky moments. That blunder by allowed Arsenal back into a game that Barcelona were still playing mostly in Arsenal's half.

Still, defending deeper can be good. You can only counter-attack if your opponents are in your half of the field. You can attack too much in a game. If you attack less, you often score more.

Frankly, Fabregas, Eboue and Walcott had been crap.

All three played crap. Only a blinkered, badge-kissing nincompoop would say any of those three played well last night.

Arsenal had nothing on the right flank but now, suddenly, that was where the winning goal came from after a fabulous move.

The cool Koscielny picked up the ball in his penalty area, passed to Bendtner, who passed infield to Wilshere, then quickly forward to Fabregas, who instantly released Nasri with a superb ball down the right flank.

Nasri could have tried the obvious with a low cross to the far post but chose instead to play a lovely pass which allowed Arshavin to curl his sidefoot shot behind Abidal and into the net from 15 yards.

That quality goal gave Arsenal their first victory against Barcelona and it set the seal on the pulsating, rocking, thrilling night that the Emirates has needed since 2006.

Sporting Gijon was a factor last night because game was much harder than the Wolves game was for Arsenal .

After two and half years of staggering success, and intensifying pressure, Barcelona are showing signs of burn-out, so Pep has to husband his resources very carefully.

Coming back off an international break, which is mostly where Barcelona ｄｒｏｐ their points, he conceded an early goal at Gijon in a game that was very passionate, intense and physical, since Gijon are fighting for their lives just above the drop-zone.

I was really enjoying the game but as the second half went on I was thinking : This is taking a lot out of Barcelona !

Indeed, it was a helluva battle that was taking a lot out of both sides.

Just as the commentators began to say that David Villa was about to be taken off, he glided onto a wonder-pass from Messi and chipped the keeper from the edge of the box and it finished 1-1.

Success brings a heavy schedule.

The more games you win, the more the pressure is on you. To handle that you need character and guts. Wilshere and Szczesny have given the team a lot more personality and authority than it had last year.

Big characters, big difference.

As Rufus Thomas said, age ain’t nothin’ but a number.
