Mark ModiIt's A Do Or Die Mission For Arsenal
The final two midweek fixture for this month will be considered a do or die mission for Arsenal. Despite being draw with a championship side, Arsenal fail to beat them and put the competition to bed.
The first test will be tonight against Leeds Utd which have been unbeaten at home this season. It is just a news we want to hear especially an almost shocking exit last week despite having a home advantages. But I guess that is just Arsenal. They love making things hard for them self. Arsenal need to be the first team to win at Elland Road this season if they want to progress. A draw will not make the fans satisfied. Anything less than a win is a poor performance this evening.
Next week it will be against Ipswich at Emirates. This is a tricky fixture. The first leg should have been put on bed but a shocking defeat leave Arsenal need to win this game. And this is a must win game. A draw would not be enough and that what make it tricky. If a team can field more than 1 goalkeeper, I think Ipswich will come to this fixture with 5 goalkeepers and 6 defenders as long as they don't lose. So this game will prove how good Arsenal will be turning a deficit into an advantage.
The selection for the previous fixture is not a problem. As everybody knows, Arsenal is the only team now at the EPL can field a totally two different team and all of the players fixture for both team is a great players and worth a starting eleven place. The problem from the previous game for my point of view is their mentality. They have all the possession and despite all the chances they fail to score a goal. Maybe that what make they difference between the first team and the second team which is how they can convert chances into goals. And for whoever Arsene might select for this two games, they must do their best and please score a lot of goals.
So the next two midweek game might be the turning point for Arsenal drought of silverware. Arsenal cannot afford to exit this two cup competition now in order to keep their momentum going for the bigger test in the Premier League and Champion League. So please Arsenal, win this matches and make us optimistic about this season.
