Entering the Wolves Den

Right then, 10th of November, a day for Arsenal in which they must do well! We can’t afford another mistake like we did against Newcastle. Although todays game will be a test, it will mostly be easier than our last match.

Last year when Arsenal travelled to the Molineux Stadium, no one expected that we would come out with a 4-1 win over them. But, we worked hard, passed the ball, picked each other out and scored 4 great goals. And with Wenger saying that we will all see a better Cesc today, our team will have the perfect skipper to look up to.

The formation being played tonight will be a interesting thing to see. Many of us later said that if Wenger would have played a 4-4-2 at around 50 minutes or so, Arsenal could have had a better chacne of scoring a few goals. Plus with two options up front, one man can support the other instead of being left on there own. Playing Chamakh by himself upfront can sometimes be a wise idea but not always. At the begginning of the season he proved to be a guy were you could place him on the team and let him do all the work but lately it seems as if he has taken a turn for the worst and maybe needs another person to support him.

Looking at a few statistics from Bettorlogic Player Pro it seems as if Arsenal have got quite a shocking record against Wolves away. Having played them 94 times away, Arsenal have only ever won 44 of the games losing 26 and drawing 24. It has also been 7 times since Arsenal lost a game by more than 1 goal where as it is 3 for Wolves. And if you go back in time you will find that Wolves have beaten us 6-1 not only once but twice in the 1946 season and 1959 season.

In our last 2 meetings, Arsenal have come out winners collecting all 3 points needed. But last time round when Wolves came for a vist to the Emirates, we have only just beaten them by 1 goal! Still a win but just not convincing enough. Hopefully this time round we can score around 2 or 3 goals and walk away showing what a team Arsenal are.
