Arsenal 0-0 Portsmouth

Gunners stumbled to 2nd place after facing a colorless draw at Fratton Park.

It's pretty hard to play our usual football against a very closed-team;a team that tend to defend more than attack.It can be concluded that Portsmouth just want a draw from this game,and they got it.

I think we should shoot more in this game,rather than playing our usual passing game because just as I said before,it's very hard to play Wengerball against a solid-defending team.Yes,I mentioned before in my previous post that Pompey's defense isn't strong enough,but the problem is their main task today is just to defend,so it isn't that hard anyway to defend with 11 players,against 10 opponent's player.

SO the main problem is actually we didn't play a freer game this time,most of our passes were blocked efficiently by ex-Gunners Campbell and other defenders.Again,we were slightly "outphysicalled" by our opponent's defender.

We did let them have some counter-attack to open up the game,but they still scared to counter-attack more bravely.

Now it's time for us to trail Devils now.

We did had some chances through,but not a lot as usual.
