Arsenal a challenge?

Really?

Good luck either way and I suggest you develop Ramsey very well, he's the only player in the game with a -10 potential, that's the best you can get.

Samir Nasri is out for 2 months after getting injured when he was with the France national team Oh dear... Chelsea game coming up now...

ARSENAL 1-0 CHELSEA


YEEEAAAHHH I'M SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW


Arsenal were up against current number 1 team in the league, and they managed to get a REALLY important win!


The game was very even, both team had lots of chances but Arsenal was the side that had the better chances, they didn't manage to score though, in the first half.


But things changed in the second half, in the 74th minute, when Bakary Sagna gave a free kick from his own half straight to Chamakh, who made a brillian first touch that got him past John Terry
and smashed the ball into the net near the front post.




Things got very hard for Arsenal though in the 86th minute, when Arturo Vidal picked up his second yellow card and got sent off, now Arsenal just had to hang on for a few minutes.

In injury time though, John Terry tackled Robin Van Persie from behind and also got sent off, so the match ended 10 vs 10.

Arsenal managed to hang on and their fans and the players themselves will surely be delighted about this win.

MOTM: Marouane Chamakh - 1 goal

Well done Marouane

SCHALKE 1-2 ARSENAL

Arsenal were up against a very strong Schalke side, and managed to win it.

Right in the start of the second half, Arsenal won a penalty after Cesc Fabregas was tackled in the box. Arturo Vidal scored the penalty and gave Arsenal the lead.

But in the 67th minute Christoph Metzelder scored a great header from a corner, and all was even once again.

ARSENAL 2-1 SCHALKE


Schalke started off really well, taking the lead thanks to Klaas-Jan Huntelaar scoring a close range volley in the 16th minute.

Arsenal were struggling until Robin Van Persie got the ball in the box, took the ball forward leaving behind a defender and finishing well from a tight angle to make it 1-1.



Just 2 minutes Bakary Sagna ran forward with the ball, gave a low cross in for Marouane Chamakh to score and make it 2-1.



After that though, Schalke started playing very aggressively, Peer Kluge getting sent off in the 45th minute after a reckless tackle on Cesc Fabregas.

and later in the second half they injured both Robin Van Persie, who is going to be out for 4 weeks and Bakary Sagna, who's going to be out for 1 week.

MANCHESTER UNITED 0-1 ARSENAL





I did not expect this!



The game started off with a real shock, in the 8th minute already, Jack Wilshere gave a brilliant through ball to Romelu Lukaku, who smashed it in from 30 yards out!!!!







The game was very exciting, with both teams having numerous chances, but Manchester United got aggressive and they injured Emmanuel Eboue in the 16th minute, who had to come off, Bakary Sagna who had just recovered from an injury came on to replace him, but he was injured too in the 63rd minute!! he is now out for 5 weeks, while Eboue is out for 10 days...

In the late minutes of the game Manchester United started attacking more and more, Arsenal were under pressure and Manchester United had a real chance is the 87th minute, when Anderson got through Arsenal's defense, was 1 on 1 with the keeper, but he hit the post!

Arsenal were very lucky today, but they will surely be very happy about this important win!

Great read Keep it up and good luck

Also what's Vidal like? Was looking at him for my save.

thanks mate


Vidal is really good, he helps the defense alot if played as a CDM, but he can also help offensively if played as a CM. He's got a pretty good shot and he's great at heading. His passing is very solid aswell, the only bad thing about him is he can sometimes be quite aggressive with his tackles.

Wow lol, we're on a 1-0 win streak currently, won 5 games in a row 1-0. Didn't think there would be making reports on each one of them so I'll just do short ones about them:


Arsenal 1-0 Sunderland


Both teams were struggling to find a goal in this match, until Michael Turner put the ball in his own net after a corner in the 61st minute.
