Arsenal Sign Drogba. And Now They Will Win The League
Arsenal have signed Drogba. He scored a hat trick today, and he also scored 2 belters against Tottenham last week. More to the point, Adebayor is fast becoming the new Drogba. Last week Adebayor, who is known as ‘Adecanthitthebarndoor’ across forums, scored an absolute scorcher and turned in a sensational performance this week.
After the press conference Adebayor said, ‘The manager believes we can win the league and this year we believe we can too’. His tongue slipped. It must of. Because no other player would reveal such a statement, he’s just told the gooners across the world the reason to Arsenal’s poor form over the past couple of seasons; the players didn’t believe in themselves. This season Fabregas, Toure, Hleb, Adebayor and the rest have all sat down whilst on a night out together and Cesc has said, ‘Listen guys, we can win it this year. I actually think we can win it this year’. Maybe not in those exact words, but he has said it. How do I know? Because I do. Well I don’t, but I like to think I do.
Players are playing without pressure and are enjoying their football, and I can’t help but think the reason to this is Henry’s departure. Henry was bossy, arrogant and impatient. Yet he was so bloody good. I’m going to stick my kneck out and say Arsenal will win the league. Liverpool will not,
Rafa at Valencia was a rotating manager.
Rafa at Liverpool is a rotating manager.
However, he needs to understand there is a right time to rotate. Rotation is good, but only at the correct time, not when players are scoring and are playing well. He is stubborn, just like Arsene was 2 years ago when he kept insisting the team to play passing football without many crosses or long shots. Arsene had so much belief in his own tactics he didn’t listen to any critics. Now he realises it was a mistake. Teams have learned how to play against the fast flowing football, therefore towards the end of last season he changed the tactics. He started to cross and let players shoot from distance. It has worked. Rafa is also not listening to the critics about his rotation, but he has so much belief that it will work he keeps rotating. In 2 years time he will look back and say ‘I rotated too much’. Mistakes are things that people realise in the future, not now. Liverpool’s team need to gel together. Torres will be good this season, but next season he will be even better. Liverpool will not win the league this season,
