Will Gallas Absent Affect Arsenal Performance Against Hamburg?


Gallas suffered from a thigh injury during Monday training. The question is: Will Arsenal miss him? Yes to a certain extend as he is a season central back and have work well with Toure. However, what Arsenal is lacking now is not Gallas but the winning spirit, the do it or die type of attitude. And they lack the finishing touch... No point playing in the style that you know how and not change it according to different opponents. Come on, Arsene Wenger or Arsenal.... You need to be flexible to change your tactic and style of play when dealing with different opponent. For opponents that play to defense and work on their counter, then i believe Arsenal should attack more from the wing and sent direct crosses into the penalty area and the two strikers should move around the six yard box to knock the ball into the net. Most of the time, especially in premiership, weaker team beat or draw Arsenal because of Arsenal lack of flexible in changing attacking tactics. You just cannot pass the ball around to look for opening and clear cut chance to scrore if the opponents put 10 man around the penalty area. Arsenal is reducing their chance of winning the game this way. They should, as i have said before, attack by sending crosses after crosses to the six yard box so that as to increase the conversion rate, got it? Please Arsenal, do something!!!

As for this Tuesday match, i still believe Arsenal will win it. The reason being that Arsenal always come back from a disappointing match to do better in the next match. My predicition: Arsenal 4 Hamburg 0.
