"当时我预测他们可能连前四强都很困难,但今天你得说他们足以挑战冠军" Personally I still think Manchester United have enough strength in depth to overhaul them and retain their Premier League title, but the football Arsene Wenger's side is playing right now is just unbelievable. I am delighted as well, because I do like Arsene Wenger and what he stands for. I'm happy they are proving me wrong, because I love watching Cesc Fabregas pull the strings in midfield, I love the way Arsenal pass the ball so well and I like the way this young team seems to have matured this season. That said, this will be the first real test of their title credentials. They did play Tottenham when they were going quite well and they have played Manchester City, but that was at home, and both games you would've expected them to win. 虽然枪手做客热刺跟主场击败曼城踢的很漂亮 但这是他们预期该赢的比赛 这周作客利记将是对争冠球队来讲另一个指标 But Anfield, against a Liverpool side who lost in midweek? Now we will see just how far Wenger's youngsters have come. Confidence I was chatting to Paul Merson about it a while ago and he said that when he looked at their fixtures, they couldn't have had a better start, and that this was always going to be a big date in their diary. I watched them against Man City, Derby and Bolton and they are brimming with confidence. Even against Bolton last week when they didn't make the breakthrough for a while, they kept patient and in the end you knew it was coming. I was also, I have to admit, more than glancing over Merse's shoulder on Soccer Special on Tuesday as they ripped Slavia Prague apart. Confidence can be shattered by one bad result, especially with such a young side, but you can't see that happening with Arsenal right now. At the back, Bakari Sagna has been a revelation, Kolo Toure has been more solid than last season, while Fabregas is running the midfield and Mathieu Flamini has been excellent, their unsung hero. 阿森纳现在的成功除了归功於CESC的耀眼表现以外 当然还有Kolo,Sagna,F16等无名英雄(unsung hero这词用的真好) Tomasz Rosicky and Alexandr Hleb are looking like they can get the number of goals Robert Pires and Freddie Ljungberg used to and up front Emmanuel Adebayor is leading the line superbly without you-know-who. 现在赫来伯 罗西奇 的中场进球有可能达到皮雷和勇伯的贡献 阿德八约领导的锋线足以让你忘了"那个人"XD And then there is Theo Walcott. I am not surprised he played down the middle in midweek, it just seems so silly when you have that much pace, to waste it out wide. 当然还有Walcott,这周在锋线上的表现让之前放他在中场的决定 就显得有点浪费他的速度了 Whether or not you use it or not, the opposition cater for it, drop off all the time and invite Arsenal on to them. And with their precise passing, intricate movement and running off the ball, they will make you pay. Whether Walcott plays here or not, I am not sure, but the one thing Liverpool need is Daniel Agger back. Sami Hyypia just hasn't looked right. He couldn' t do anything about that goal in Turkey, but against Everton he was, for me, trying to clear it with the wrong foot. Even before that, against Spurs they didn't look comfortable at the back, and the uncertainty is starting to rub off on Jamie Carragher, who is normally so reliable. The last thing Hyypia wants right now is to find himself one-on-one with Walcott! (以下仅关利记 枪迷加减看) But this might not be a bad game for Liverpool. As we saw against Chelsea earlier in the season, they to tend to lift their game for the big occasions, and it might be the perfect way to get over Wednesday night. It's amazing to think they could be out of the Champions League before the group stages. The irony is that Rafa defended his rotation policy by saying it would allow the likes of Fernando Torres to be fresh for the important games later in the season. That's all very well, but you've got to make sure you get there first! And it wasn't even if Rafa rotated either. I am not even going to go down that road again and try and guess what side he will send out, but Torres HAS to play. The fans won't accept anything else. They are six points behind Arsenal and in danger of going out of the Champions League. Le Tiss predicts DRAW - On current form and what we have seen this week, you would lean heavily towards Arsenal, but I just think this sort of game will bring the best out of Liverpool. They will want to make up for the defeat in Besiktas and also those two defeats in the cups to Arsenal last year. I can't see them getting the better of the Gunners, but I can see them getting a point. There will be goals as well, so I'll go for 2-2. 球评预测2:2平局 你,下注了没?? Matt's main man ALEXANDR HLEB - He has been excellent this season. You could tell he was a talented lad last season, but it never really came off for him. This year however has been different. He is getting himself into great positions and scoring goals. Maybe he is that half-a-yard quicker, maybe it's because his teammates are used to his runs, but there is more of a threat to Hleb's game this season. He seems to have benefited from Thierry Henry's departure more than anyone else. 这季Hleb的表现更加成熟, 跑位更具侵略性也能找到很多起脚的机会 可能因为他好像比去年快了一些,也可能是队友更习惯他的跑动了 今年将是Hleb更有威胁性的一年, 某程度来说 他算是枪手阵中从亨利离去中获益最大的球员.. (不是在亏亨利,但是这段很感认同..Hleb要独干或前插可能更自由了) --
