I am a very big fan of Arsene Wenger but and I still have a lot of faith on him and I believe that his way is the right approach for Arsenal club during the time of economic recession. Well, I know that most people do not share my view and many arsenal supporters have started to feel impatient because of the poor performance of the club for the last few years. This time, there is no hope of the club in English Premier League and the most optimistic supporters are now putting their hope on something miracle to take place in Europe.

Tomorrow night, arsenal is going to play against AS Roma in the First knock-out round, first leg of Uefa Champions League 2008-09. Now, all the supporters of the London club are eagerly waiting for this match and they are praying to God that a miracle can happen. If you looked at the history of the two clubs then you may feel that the Gunners have slight advantage. The two clubs met in 2002-03 them to big and Arsenal won one match while the other was draw. Except history, nothing is on the side of coach Arsene Wenger. But the recent performance of the club is really miserable and there is nothing that you can be hopeful about for tomorrow’s match.

The main problem for the London club is injury and lack of form. Theo Walcott, Cesc Fabregas, Tomas Rosicky, Emmanuel Adebayor and Eduardo- these five key players will not be available tomorrow and there is even a bigger problem for Arsene Wenger is that Andrey Arshavin cannot play in this tournament because he has already played for another club- Zenit St Petersburg. I’m really concerned with the strikers and I can feel that even in the midfield if there is serious problem.

Niklas Bendtner and Robin van Persie are most likely to play in the top as strikers and Almunia is likely to play in the goalkeeper. But the defense looks good to me with Sagna, Gallas, Toure, Clichy. This weekend, arsenal suffered a draw despite dominating the match. This season, they are seriously lacking a quality striker who can score goal in almost every match. I’m afraid of this thing about tomorrow’s match.

For Roma, Francesco Totti, Daniele De Rossi and Julio Baptista but will be there to test the defense of the gunners. They will be surely very happy with the draw and they will try their best to get a goal. In this kind of competition, an away goal is very important and is indeed priceless. Now, Arsene Wenger is mainly worried about this matter.
