Optimistic point of view – 8-2 – the best result for Arsenal? (Part 1)
Many Arsenal fans would be crying over the fact that their side lost to Manchester United. However, looking at it from another point of view, this was the best result for Arsene Wenger.
The French manager did not have eight first team players available and he had to field young players to face a strong opposition like Manchester United. The Red Devils have been in top form as the season has started and despite having a young squad; Sir
Alex Ferguson has built a team with a lot of chemistry which really helps them win games.
Sir Alex Ferguson played http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jonny-Evans-c19085 played in the centre
back position. The right back role was given to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Patrice-Evra-c29231 played on the left and also wore the captain’s armband.
Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Anderson-c5565 and Tomas Cleverly played in the centre midfield position while Luis Nani and Ashley Young played on the flanks. While

On the other hand, Arsene Wenger decided to play his favourite 4-3-3. The Frenchman did not have eight of the first team players available.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Laurent-Koscielny-c21742 was severely missed as Vermaelen sat the game out due to
an injury. The centre back partnership was between http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Johan-Djourou-c18779 and Laurent Koscielny.
The first team left back Kieren Gibbs could not feature in the first team due to an injury as well. Gibbs was replaced by Armand Traore. The right back position, which is originally taken by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Bacary-Sagna-c7148, was taken by Carl Jenkinson. The young Arsenal player
often played in the right back role as Sagna was fielded in the left back position for a few games.
The first choice Arsenal midfield was not available as they are all out injured or suspended. While http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jack-Wilshere-c17463 is injured and he could not play against Manchester United as he is expected to return next month.
The holding midfield position was taken by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Aaron-Ramsey-c3065. While Rosicky featured in the
centre midfield position, Aaron Ramsey tried to link the midfield with the attack as he featured in the attacking midfield role.
Arsenal were playing without two of their first choice midfielders. Moreover, Emmanuel Frimpong was also not available for Arsene Wenger to play in the centre of the pitch as he also received a red card while playing against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809.
