Recovery Act for both the clubs

I can't believe we never showed up against United of Manchester. I would have hoped for a better performance than that. The loss puts us back where we rightly belong, NOT at the TOP! Lets face it, we need to find out a way to defend a high line but at the same time, learn to always have one more guy holding in front of the defense.

Chelsea game is going to be more defensive game than the united one. We need a couple of our players to stand up and be counted. Its a good thing that we did not play last weekend and so the players should be fresher. However, we will also be playing mid week and hope we dont switch off at home again and again and oh yes, AGAIN!

The last defeat must be playing on our players' mind and also the fact that the Fulham game that we won, had plenty of shaky moments. The offside trap is risky especially when our CBs are not really playing with each other for a long time. Fabregas and RVP will play some part of the game. I expect Fabregas to start the game. Chamakh seems to be the obvious choice but if he is fatigued, we have Bendtner and RVP to take his place.

I dont expect us to win tomorrow. I can't believe I am saying that. The last time I wrote that, we won against City and I had to eat my own words. But boy, I will take that any day over an Arsenal win. I hope, if not a win, we could at least draw the game against them. United are currently running away with a lead, with a game in hand if I am not wrong. This leaves us with having just one game in hand and still a little bit of catching up to do.

Spurs are catching up with us and so is Manchester City. If we drop a few more points, Wenger will start resting players in FA cup and Carling Cup as an excuse and chuck it away as well. We have a serious possibility of winning the Carling Cup this year and I hope Wenger does not throw that away.
