arsenal is definitely capable of beating Chelsea at Emirates
stadium, same thing, they can dish a whipping to Man U as
well.
But if they are not going to exhibit some sort of consistency, they
aren't going anywhere. But this Arsenal squad has potential - the
players are still young and many of them have a long way to go and
has yet to reach their peak. Febregas, Toure, van Persie and lads
are still in their early 20s. AW took the bold step to drop the old
guards - Viera, Campbell, etc and blood his young players. sure,
you don't expect to win anything in the first few years when the
young players are still raw, but give them two to three seasons
playing together, they will be a force to be reckon with.
Compared to Chelsea, sure they have the mega stars in Shevchenko
and Ballack and Lampard but they are heading to late 20s / 30s
already, moreover, some of them come with "burden" - thinking that
they should be the stars of the team. Sooner or later, they will
run into problems and the problem of continuity sets in. Whilst
they have young players too, they don't have the on-field
experience that Arsenal players have. Of course, Chelsea can stick
to their policy of buying the best every season, buring money in
the process, but sooner or later, they will end up like Real Madrid
- the galactos but what in terms of achievement, not really
there.
