Arsenal wins the crucial match against Liverpool

Gunners showed that they are capable of coming back and winning the game after the last victory in AZ Alkmaar. Arsenal won 2-1 against Liverpool and moreover at Anfield. Arsenal had not defeated Liverpool at Anfield since 2003. This could be a turning point for Arsenal in the league as Chelsea drew against Everton and Aston Villa winning against Manchester United.

More than Arsenal team, I should write about the Liverpool team selection which would have scared anyone. It looked as if they were preparing whole season for this match. Have a look at it guys!

Reina
M.Johnson-Carragher-Agger-F.Aurelio
Mascherano-Lucas
Kuyt-Gerrard-Benayoun
Torres

That team would raise a chill through anybody's spines and same happened to me.
Whereas Arsenal team looked as below, completely young and inexperienced considering the Liverpool giants.

Almunia
Sagna-Gallas-Vermaelen-Traore
Fabregas-Song-Denilson
Walcott-Arshavin-Nasri

Arsenal deployed Walcott and Nasri as wingers more than attackers but during the first half they were not able to poise great threat. Later during the second half Walcott and Nasri changed the flanks and that did the trick. Denilson got a yellow card very early in the match. First half saw Arsenal in hand brake mode as admitted by Wenger too. Torres missed the best chance of the match from a Gerrard pass during counter attack. Almunia was miserable as usual and his error while clearing a freekick crafted the lone Liverpool goal from Dirk Kuyt. It was a good goal considering the tremendous pressure this match had.

Maybe that pressure continued to second half when Arsene Wenger blasted the young guns and shouting at them for first time as per Fabregas's view. He said that he had never seen Wenger this angry during half time in his whole Arsenal career. I would believe he had all the reason to be angry. This was a must win to take advantage of the other slip-ups above us in table. Second half saw a rejuvenated Arsenal team which attacked with all fronts. This continous pressure led Johnson to find his own net from a Nasri cross which saw Walcott of space even if it had come through Johnson. Thanks Johnnie for bring Arsenal back on track. Within 6-7mins from that own goal Arshavin found Liverpool net shaking from his wonder strike once again. He controlled the ball from a Fabregas cross and again Johnson behind him not able to keep up the pace at which everything was executed. That was one wonder strike from the Russian champ.

Later Arshavin was substituted with Ramsey and I doubt there is some strain or ankle related issue for him. Diaby came on for Walcott to add height to Arsenal attack and strength to Arsenal defence. He played well for his 20mins and seems to be in good touch. Traore also limped making way for Silvestre once again. Wenger did take a big gamble playing Traore again last weekend considering the hit he sustained on previous encounter at Stoke. Arsenal will be playing Burnley on the midweek. Burnley had already showed their skills against Manchester United by causing an upset to them during the start of this years campaign. The most interesting thing will be to see the team selection for the Burnley encounter. Since we are again playing over the weekend against Hull City who had defeated Arsenal last season.

My team for the Burnley encounter would be as below:
Mannone
Eboue-Senderos-Vermaelen-Silvestre
Ramsey-Song-Denilson
Wilshere-Eduardo-Vela

Substitutes:
Fabianski-Fabregas-Arshavin-Diaby-Gallas-Sagna-Merida

The team looks erratic which I do agree. But would love to see that team play because it has experience at back and speed at front. Just to see how it works will be a pleasure to watch.(Just because I picked it :-)) This will allow Wenger to rest his players and also use them in case it is required after understanding the pressure and situation of the match. This holds no disrespect to Burnley team. I have watched couple of their games and I found them very good at counter attack and set pieces. So Arsenal beware, better take them seriously or else they will let you know the difference.
