Not exact matches
Although much was made of Arsenal's zonal marking system in the aftermath of a

The season before last 14 15 we did better with the points than last season even though we came second
from last season we know we conceded many
goals from set pieces and were very short on
goal scoring the logic of this season was to fix the defensive department and the offensive department by introducing a defender to reduce the amount of
goals conceded unless holding is to be the man we havent us of yet fixed the problem on the offensive department we all know the only offensive player is chuba apkom well else we have not addressed the problem so in reality I do not except Arsenal to finish the season with more than 70 points and personally think minimum point required to win the
premier league is 85 points have we got that in our squad it will remain to be seen if chuba and holding are enough for a key to unlock the season we will soon find out but I think MR wenger is gambling with the introduction of new manageress which lives us with Liverpool and Leicester and who will take the points off united chelsea and city the next 6 games should give us the indication to what may happen to the long run for the new year

In
goal you have one of the most consistent performers the
Premier League has even seen in Finland international Jussi Jaaskelainen; in defence the ever reliable Gary Cahill, whom is also a threat
from set -
pieces; Stauart Holden anchoring the midfield and watching over the defence while up front, Kevin Davies (6
Goals) and Johan Elmander (9
Goals) have been surprisingly prolific in front of
goal all season for Bolton.
