CL Qualifiers
FC Twente 0-2 Arsenal:
The score line flatters a fairly poor performance by Arsenal, albeit from a very sub standard squad. Still with no sign of signings Wenger is going to have to hope and pray for an injury free season, particularly in midfield, because the team who played are unlikely to win very much at all and could drop them out of a top 4 slot.
[Update] Arsene Wenger has apparently said he will make a signing in the next two weeks, a midfield consisting of Denilson and Aaron Ramsey gave him enough of a squeaky bum to reach for the cheque book.
Standard Liege 0-0 Liverpool:
Oh dear oh dear. Liverpool “thats ‘Challenge for the title’ Liverpool” were absolutely woeful and only got the draw because they have the best penalty keeper around. Gerrard was reluctantly brought on and made a difference but Keane and Torres need some games to form some kind of understanding that they are actually playing on the same team. No team with ambitions for the PL title can have a slow start and it doesn’t look good for them based on this.
