'They think they are a bogey side for Arsenal'
Funny old team, West Ham. Last season they did the double over the champions, Manchester United, and followed suit against Arsenal. So how on earth did they get dragged into a relegation battle? Quite simply they failed to maintain those high standards against sides which, on paper at least, were inferior.作者: jacksonkua 時間: 2007-9-28 09:45 AM 標題: TALKING TACTICS
There is no reason why Alan Curbishley shouldn't send out his side to attack Arsenal. I think West Ham fans are thinking that they are perhaps a bogey side for Arsenal, it's three wins on the trot now against them. They played very well against the top teams last season, they beat Arsenal twice and Manchester United twice, so I think West Ham raise their game. I think they've got a chance, Arsenal are playing very very well, but I think the secret to last season's result was keeping Cesc Fabregas quiet. I think Nigel Reo-Coker marked him out of the game that day and they got a late winner. If they can do that again to Fabregas there's no reason why they shouldn't get the result."
To me, Arsenal would really PREFER those team who can ATTACK ARSENAL..............
While West Ham attack, there were be more SPACE for Arsenal Attacking Player to create more chances and Most important more space for Fabregas or Diaby to Perform the Long Shot.
Besides, Arsenal could have Playing well in Counter-Attacking Game, If West Ham ALL THE WAY OUT, i believe West Ham may SUFFER another BIG LOSE in front of their Home Fans.
However, West Ham having a FANTASTIC record last Season against TOP TEAM ( Double wins agains MU & ARSENAL = If not they already Relegated) and Arsenal should also take high Precaution to this "Dragon-Killer" 作者: jacksonkua 時間: 2007-9-28 09:56 AM 標題: 回復 #3 jacksonkua 的帖子

:014: :014: :014:
There were many reasons why Arsenal failed to mount a significant title bid last season. But surely the most significant factor was the amount of points left behind at places like Upton Park.
A struggling West Ham took all three against Arsène Wenger’s men in a fractious affair on November 5, 2006. A struggling Fulham, Manchester City and Sheffield United did exactly the same thing over the course of the campaign.
It was Arsenal’s Achilles’ heel. Leaving all the other factors aside, that 12 points alone would have put them on the coat-tails of second-place Manchester United in the final reckoning and given them much more say in the destination of the Premiership title.
Arsenal return to the East End of London on Saturday as English football’s free-flowing force. They are top of the table right now and at the top of their game. But although Arsenal have put may wrongs right this season — winning not drawing early on at Emirates, keeping their discipline at places like Blackburn and Sparta — this game represents a different kind of challenge.
“Yes, it is another test for us,” said Wenger at his pre-match press conference. “And don’t forget we have not played many games away yet. We played at Blackburn, we played at Tottenham but this game is another test.
“We can show that we are stronger than last year if we can make a result at West Ham and do it in a more convincing way. For me, we were not convincing at all last year at West Ham.
"I am not surprised we are up there this year. I expected us to do well and fight for the championship. But the games so far were tight and everything went for us. We have won many in the last 10 minutes so we have to keep our feet on the ground and continue to focus on what we do well. And we know we have to fight on Saturday because a huge commitment will be needed at West Ham.”
There was mixed news from the training ground at Friday’s press conference. Alex Hleb came through tests on his knee but Eduardo dropped out with a groin problem. The manager had already ruled out Jens Lehmann (elbow), Alex Song (calf), William Gallas (groin) and Tomas Rosicky (hamstring).
West Ham’s victory over Arsenal last season was pretty much a blip in a difficult early campaign. They rallied under new boss Alan Curbishley and hauled themselves clear of the dropzone in the final few games. The absence of Dean Ashton with a broken ankle was said to be one of the main reasons.
The fit-again 23-year-old has been well-known to Wenger for some time. The Frenchman made concerted attempts to sign the burly frontman early in his career.
"When he was at Crewe, they played against us in the Youth Cup and he was outstanding,” said the Arsenal manager. “I tried to get him here after that but they had an agreement with Liverpool.
"He is an intelligent player and uses his body well and is good in the air. We were looking at the time for someone who could give us something a bit different and help us play slightly more direct if needed. We felt he could develop into that sort of player.
After, he went to Norwich and that was a surprise because suddenly he would not join us. My understanding was that there was a gentleman's agreement that Crewe would not sell him to any other Premier League club than Liverpool.
“Yes in my opinion he is good enough for England now. Certainly he will be involved now because you have Owen and Heskey out. And I wouldn’t be surprised to see Steve McClaren in the stand on Saturday.”
