I like to think of myself as a fairly rational individual, which is why what has and is going
on at Arsenal confounds me... little wonder people have gone so far as to suggest that Wenger is actually sabotaging the club... one only needs to look at our starting 11 to stoke the flames of conspiracy... just think of the perceived importance of this game, considering the loss to Stoke, the historically significance of the two teams involved, the controversy that swirled around our two meetings last season, the proximity to the closing of the window and the general disdain being directed towards the manager once again... how is it even possible that you wouldn't come to Anfield with all guns blazing... not a single
shot on target, with the back - up keeper in no
less... where were the new signings?
I don't think we beat City nor that it will be a particularly entertaining game; I see City with 70 % possession (because we can't press in midfield and can't hold the ball when we win it) and I see Guardiola being very conscious of our counter-attack capabilities, we'll have
less than a half dozen
shots on target.
Well Tevez scored five penalties to Aguero's three, Tevez scored his 23 goals with four
shots less (126 to 130) whilst both average one
shot on target in each of the games against the Top 6 teams.
