Time to change - Only a draw in Turf Moor



Arsenal side deserved to win by their second half display. But looks like if they continue this way there is no way we can catch up with likes of Aston Villa, Spurs and Manchester City and will need to forget chasing Chelsea and Manchester United.

Fabregas was substituted due to an hamstring injury which could keep him away for sometime. This injury is coming at a very bad time for Arsenal since they need his services badly during the coming weeks. Fabregas was outstanding with his run and passing when the match started in Turf Moor. But once he was substituted Arsenal no longer looked the same. The lone goal for Gunners came from Fabregas and Burnley took advantage and got the draw from a penalty.

Almunia once again proved how much he was worth, with his wonderful erroraneous displays. He needs to improve if Arsenal is to win anything this season or else Wenger needs to play Mannonne or Szex. Almunia got lucky when a good goal from Fletcher was disallowed calling offside where it never looked as one. The ball passed through Almunia rolling for Fletcher to finish. This was the biggest blunder most people have ever witnessed by any goal keeper. Walcott tried to over do things with his pace but was well marked by Burnley defenders. Nasri played well and did his part without much success.

Song once again stood strong against the opposition and towards the end of the match we could see Song's play making ability. He was no more a defensive midfielder, he was controlling things from a higher position on field and Diaby went back. Eduardo came in for Walcott and once again missed quite a few chances which he could have scored during his better days.

Arsenal started with Silvestre on the left back position. Eventhough he played better in this position than his central back games. He let the players come in lot of times. Arsene Wenger would surely think before renewing his contract seeing the kind of game he is producing. Wenger keeps praising Silvestre for his leading ability which maybe is off the field and not in field. Ramsey came in for Fabregas and could not make any impact on the game.

If we are to pose any threat to atleast 3rd or 4th position, we need to win these matches or else we all will need to wait for one more year to start all over again. There should be an end to all this wait. As I wrote in last few occassions we need a good goalkeeper, couple of strikers with height and a good central defender. Wenger maynot agree with me. But when we fans keep saying this he should atleast have a look. Its our team, same like his. Only thing is he makes it and we support it. If not for himself, hope he does this for the supporters and for the team.
