Nasri stars as Arsenal thrash Shakhtar

By Myles Palmer

Arsenal 5 Shakhtar Donetsk 1

Song 19, Nasri 42, Fabregas 60 (pen), Wilshere 66, Chamakh 69, Eduardo 82

A sweet goal by Jack Wilshere was the pick of six goals at the Emirates last night.

I'm beginning to think the size of the stadium gives visiting team an inferiority complex.

The move that ｃｒｅａｔｅd the goal for 4-0 was Nasri to Chamakh to Wilshere to Rosicky to Wilshere, who nicked it past the body of keeper Pyatov from close range.

Arsenal started fluently and looked pretty sharp. A Fabregas cross was just too high for Chamakh but hinted that a goal might come soon. It did after 19 when Pyatov fumbled Nasri's corner, Djourou stabbed the loose ball, and Song scrambled it from two yards with a fancy kick behind his own leg.

Nasri’s goal for 2-0 was very well taken. When Song’s cross deflected off a defender to the far post, Nasri took two great touches and buried his shot for 2-0.
After 42 minutes, game over. We all expected much more from Shakhtar. Nobody thought the visitors would be so feeble.

When striker Luiz Adriano mauled Djourou as Shakhtrar defended a free kick, a penalty was awarded and Fabregas converted for 3-0. Wilshere’s cheeky finish came in 66 minutes, then a Nasri lob found Chamakh onside to make it 5-0.

Late on, sub Eduardo got a consolation with a brave left foot volley from a right flank cross. Squillaci bottled the challenge, perhaps because he did not want to bring Eduardo down in the penalty area.

VERDICT : First time Arsenal have ever been in a Group with three weak teams.

As I said recently, the standard is going down right across the Champions League. Why? Global recession. Less money, squads not as strong as they were three years ago. Song was caught is possession far too often.

GOOD STAT : Chamakh is the first player to ever score in six consecutive Champions league games. Well done, my son!

FABREGAS looked rusty after a month out, played an hour, took several bodychecks, and did not feel his hamstring. He said, “Sunday's game at Manchester City is massive, one of the most important games we'll have this season, and we want three points.”

Real Madrid haven't reached the Champions League quarter-finals for seven years. But the manner of their 2-0 victory over AC Milan suggests Jose Mourinho might take them all the way this time. His teams don't concede many goals. Casillas made a couple of phenomenal saves. He has less to do now, but showed his tremendous concentation and athleticism. They are top of La Liga and Mourinho is three and a half months into what Ruud Gullit calls "his biggest assignment." Jose is still very demanding. He admitted his team had played well but said he wants better decisions in the final third .

Matchday 3 is the best day of the season to have a bet, I always think. Having won two out of three at the weekend, and got my money back on the third, I started to believe that I knew what I was talking about. I felt lucky, so I did a Canadian : 26 lines on five games. I needed Ajax, Bayern, Real Madrid and Marseilles to win, and the Arsenal game to be over 2.5 goals. Those four all won. De Zeeuw and Luis Suarez scored world class goals for Ajax.

I've never done that bet before and will have to wait a year to do it again. It would be suicide to try the same bet on Matchday 4 or 5. Because Matchday 3 is a night when all the home teams are trying. I backed over 2/2.5 in Moscow and Chelsea won 2-0 on the synthetic turf against Spartak, so I only won half that bet

Don't think I can predict 5 out of 5 again. Haven't got time to study the form.

Proper gamblers, like my mates John and Tony, take it seriously. They do their homework and love to bet on the Bundesliga game on Friday night.

I saw John early last Saturday morning.
"Me and Tony did over 2.5 last night."
"What was the score? " I said.
"2-1. They got the winner in the 94th minute. How lucky was that?”

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.
