Arsenal dropped a 2-0 lead and eventually drew 2-2 away at West Ham, and manager Arsene Wenger was unhappy after the game, believing the Gunners had missed a chance to steal points. "We controlled the game, but as long as you don't score the third goal, you know you don't win the game!"

'To be honest, West Ham fought until one minute and we conceded two set-pieces, I don't think they should have been awarded, but we couldn't influence the referee's decision, the reason why he did it was because the voice of the fans was a factor, it's always difficult to play away. We were a smart team and a smart team should have got the best result in the game, but we didn't. We made our game a little bit complicated and of course it was a good opportunity to be missed, and in football you can't be so 'luxuriant'. You need to get points when you should be taking points, and sometimes you can get points when you shouldn't. “

It can be said that Wenger is really dissatisfied with the team's game, this game failed to get three points is really completely Arsenal's own work, and compared with the last Champions League group stage, this is even more disappointing, because this is a two-goal lead was equalized by the opponent, and when Arsenal was forced to draw, Manchester United and Chelsea also won one after another, which also made Arsenal's already not obvious advantage even smaller.

'We should have had three points today but we didn't get them, which means we weren't doing our best. We have to learn to finish these kinds of games and that's the most important lesson of the day. We have a chance to win this year, but we can't repeat today's performance. "Arsene Wenger has also given the team an ultimatum and a warning, and the team has made such mistakes one after another, which really requires Arsenal to be vigilant.

Although Arsenal occupy the top spot in the standings. But it's hard to get enough confidence in them for everyone; On team building. Arsenal is also different from teams such as Manchester United and Chelsea. The Gunners are strong in attack, which is easy to give them a good situation, but there is still a gap between their defensive ability and quality compared to the red and blue armies, once the opponent plays an imposing counterattack, Arsenal relies on the ability to defend the "hard top" is not enough, which is probably the reason why the Gunners can play beautiful football in recent years, but always lack a little domineering.

Now Arsenal need to win the championship, but it is still obvious that they are not domineering enough to play hard, and they are relatively easy to make mistakes. So this naturally makes them not completely reassuring even if they have achieved good results.

The Gunners' successive mistakes in the Champions League and the league have put them under pressure, and now they need to pick themselves up as a tough game is about to come, with arguably one of the Premier League's most famous derbies in the 11th round of the league, the north London derby between Arsenal and bitter rivals Tottenham Hotspur.

Not enough to be in need of a Carabao Cup tie before this much-watched north London derby; Because Arsenal is now fighting in both the league and the Champions League, and they still have good results, the League Cup is naturally not very important, especially when they meet Liverpool early in the League Cup, Arsenal is also a little entangled. However, the League Cup is now only in the round of 16. It is obviously unwise to invest too much in the main team, because the league and the Champions League are more important.

30 October 2009. A key match in the fourth round of the English League Cup was contested at the Emirates Stadium, with Arsenal beating Liverpool 2-1 at home to advance to the quarter-finals of the League Cup.

Arsenal made all 11 changes to the starting XI for this game, with Nasri making his first appearance this season. Liverpool only started with Insuay and Kuyt, with new signing Aquilani on the bench.

Arsenal are fighting for the league and Champions League, and Liverpool are not even in the top four in the league now, so it is naturally impossible for them to pay attention to the Carabao Cup at this time. This game is also a training, although they also hope to be able to go as far as possible in the League Cup, but too early investment in the main lineup will definitely affect the team's performance in the league and the Champions League, so at this time, the two giants invariably sent a substitute-based lineup, can continue to advance in the League Cup better, if not, do not affect the other more important two fronts.

In this game, Arsenal took the lead in the 19th minute when a faulty pass from Vononen at the back was tackled by Eastmond and Merida's powerful shot from the edge of the box on the right flank hit the inside of the right-hand post and into the net. Liverpool equalised in the 26th minute when Babel headed in a long ball and Insua volleyed in from 25 yards on the left, the ball hoisted past Fabianski and into the net under the crossbar.

However, Arsenal took the lead again in the 50th minute, Merida crossed from the left, Ramsey stopped the ball, Bendtner dribbled away from Skrtel and fired a powerful shot from the edge of the six-yard box, and the 2-1 Arsenal also sealed the victory to advance to the quarterfinals of the League Cup!

The draw for the quarter-finals of the English League Cup was also announced in Zuihou in October, with Manchester facing both strong opponents, Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal respectively, while Chelsea's opponents Blackburn Rovers were relatively weak. Arsenal will face Manchester City in what is another revenge between the two teams in the Carabao Cup.

However, the Carabao Cup simply won't attract attention now, as the draw will coincide with the 11th round of the Premier League and Arsenal will host arch-rivals Tottenham Hotspur.

Arsenal beat Liverpool in the Carabao Cup, but Arsene Wenger received the bad news as goalkeeper Fabianski, who had just returned, was injured again and will be out for three to four weeks. Fabianski, who had been recovering from knee surgery, made his first appearance of the season in the Carabao Cup and played 90 minutes before re-injuring himself. It can only be said that Arsenal's third goalkeeper is really unlucky, and Arsenal's injury list seems to be not small, which also makes many people think that Arsenal really needs to make a trade-off.

Arsenal will play Tottenham Hotspur, with the starting goalkeeper between Mannoni and Almunia being produced, while a number of other players will certainly not be available for this game due to injury: Wilshere (ankle), Theo Walcott (knee), Denilson (back), Rosicky (knee). And the returning Arsenal player Nasri must be cautious when playing after he recovers from injury, because he has only just recovered from injury and everything is not enough to reassure him at the moment.

With eight wins and two draws, Arsenal now has 26 points and occupies the top of the standings; But Tottenham Hotspur have 19 points and are fourth in the Premier League. Arsenal are now in close pressure with Chelsea and Manchester United behind them, while Tottenham are also challenged to fourth place in the table, including Liverpool and Manchester City. Such a fierce competition gives the north London derby a special meaning. The winner of this game will not only be able to stand tall in front of his rivals, but will also step on his opponent while increasing his team's points.

Therefore, the game has not yet started, and the "war of words" between the players of both sides has been inextricably linked. The two teams have a deep historical feud, and this is the real rivalry in Arsenal's history.

The historical feud between Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal began in 1919, when League One was re-established after the first battle and expanded from 20 to 22 teams. As the bottom team of League One the previous season, Tottenham had thought they would be the beneficiaries of the expansion. But Arsenal, who are only sixth in League Two, are secretly bribing the FA's executive committee members, and when the FA votes for a place in the First Division, Arsenal snatches the place that should belong to Tottenham Hotspur and squeezes them into the second division. It was from this incident that Tottenham Hotspur fans regarded Arsenal as an enemy of the world, and Gunners fans naturally did not give up any chance to fight back, which eventually made the "north London derby" its current status.

For Tottenham Hotspur fans, it is acceptable for the team to lose to any opponent, except for not wanting to see Arsenal riding on them. As for the players and coaches who switched to Arsenal from them, they will be regarded as "traitors" by all Tottenham Hotspur fans. There are a number of figures in history who have been spurned for this, the most recent being England international Campbell, who joined Arsenal in the summer of 2001. When Campbell returned to White Hart Lane for the first time as an Arsenal player, he was cursed by tens of thousands of fans in attendance.

As the captain of Tottenham, Robbie? Keane thinks it's time to teach Arsenal a lesson: "In the last few years, Arsenal have always been a little bit higher than us. But now, everything will be different. If you look at the bench we have now, you can see that there is a stronger squad than Arsenal. For us, we are no longer satisfied with finishing fifth or seventh in the Europa League, and I believe Tottenham will be in the Champions League next season. ”

'I don't know if Tottenham will be in the Champions League, maybe they have the ability. But I know Tottenham Hotspur is not as strong as Arsenal, if you look at the table, we are at the top of the table, as for Tottenham, you have to count from the bottom of the table and when did they beat Arsenal in the table? I don't really know where their confidence is built, maybe big words will give them some confidence because they can only beat Arsenal here. Xiao Qing is clearly not taking Tottenham Hotspur seriously, his arrogance will definitely cause great disgust among Tottenham fans, but the Gunners fans are willing to hear this, and that is enough.

The players of both teams will be hoping to make a difference in the world-renowned north London derby, because they can be the heroes of the team if they help them win against their rivals! (To be continued......)
