Arsenal kids loses to Olympiacos

Arsene Wenger once again started a youth team against Champions League rivals Olympiacos. Arsenal had already qualified for the next round by topping the table. Wenger placed a complete youth team with an average age below 21. This is another record in Champions League coming Arsenal's way.

Ramsey had been the star for the day from the start with his brilliant runs, passes and shots. He had been instrumental and showed the glimpse of next Fabregas in making. Welshmen with 18 years of age showed the character and skill of an experienced player in late twenty. Arsenal young gun lost in some style to Olympiacos. We also saw Wenger hugging Zico after the match which showed the kind of attitute he has after losing a match. Not comments on Man City Carling Cup match.

Arsenal team played well with their excellant passing. The few negatives we can find is again in the front. We were not able to finish. The winning comes only through scoring goals in football and whatever nice passing football you play, if you can't score? Answer is a well known big waste of time and resources. Arsene Wenger should consider poaching on a poacher this winter during the Christmas break. This is what we really need now and not a technically apt terrific goal scorer. Hope the return of Bendtner might help the Arsenal campaign.

Silvestre seems to be not up to the expectation according to our review. He needs to play in his natural position which is left back and give chance for upcoming youngsters to take the center stage in the back four line up. Arsenal also needs to look for an experienced defender.
