Arsenal lost a good game of 2-0 lead and finally drew 2-2 away with West Ham. Coach Wenger was very dissatisfied after the game. He thought the Gunners lost a good chance to grab points. "We control the game, but as long as you don't score the third goal, you know that the game will not win!"

"To be honest, West Ham has been fighting until the last minute. We lost two set pieces. I don't think both should be judged, but we can't affect the referee's decision. The reason why he judged like this is the voice of the fans is a factor, and it is always difficult to play away games. We are a smart team. Smart teams should get the maximum results in the game, but we didn't do it. We made our game a little complicated, which is of course a good opportunity to be missed. In the football circle, you can't be so 'luxury'. You need to get points when you should get points, and sometimes you can get points when you shouldn't get points."

It can be said that Wenger is really dissatisfied with the team in this game. Arsenal did not get a three-pointer in this game. Compared with the last Champions League group stage, this is even more disappointing, because this is the lead and the opponent equalized. When Arsenal was tied, Manchester United and Chelsea also won one after another, which also made Arsenal's already unobvious advantage smaller.

"We should have scored three points today, but we didn't get it, which means we didn't do the best. We must learn to end this kind of game, which is the most important lesson today. We have the chance to win the championship this year, but we can't repeat today's performance." Wenger also gave the team an ultimatum and a warning. The team made such mistakes one after another, which really requires Arsenal to wake up.

Although Arsenal occupies the top of the standings, it is difficult for everyone to have enough confidence in them; in team building, Arsenal is also different from Manchester United and Chelsea and other teams. The Gunners are strong in offense, which can easily create a good situation for them, but their defensive ability and quality are still different from the Red and Blue Army. Once the opponent makes a powerful counterattack, Arsenal is not able to rely on "hard top" in defense. This is probably the reason why the Gunners have been able to play beautiful football in recent years but always lack a little domineering.

Arsenal now needs to win the championship, but it is quite obvious that they are not domineering enough to fight tough battles. They are relatively easy to make mistakes, so this naturally makes them unable to completely relieve themselves even if they have achieved good results.

The Gunners made consecutive mistakes in the Champions League and the League, which put them under a lot of pressure, and now they also need to cheer up because a tough battle is coming soon. The eleventh round of the league can be said to be one of the most famous derby games in the Premier League, and the North London derby between Arsenal and his arch-rival Tottenham Hotspur is about to begin.

Not enough Before this highly-watched North London derby, Arsenal first needed the League Cup; because Arsenal is now playing in the league and the Champions League, and both have good results, so the League Cup is naturally not taken seriously, especially when they met Liverpool early in the League Cup. Arsenal is also a little confused. However, now the League Cup is only the top 16, so it is obviously unwise to invest too much in the main players, because the league and the Champions League are more important.

On October 30, 2009, a focus match in the fourth round of the English League Cup started at the Emirates Stadium, and Arsenal 2-1 at home made Liverpool advance to the quarterfinals of the League Cup.

Arsenal replaced all eleven players in this game, and Nasri made his first appearance this season. Liverpool only left Suaya and Kuyt to start, and new aid Aquilani entered the bench.

Arsenal is fighting for the championship better for the league and the Champions League. As for Liverpool, they are not even able to enter the top four in the league, so they naturally cannot pay attention to the useless League Cup at this time. This game is just a training game. Although they also hope to go as far as possible in the League Cup, investing too early in the main lineup will definitely affect the team's performance in the league and the Champions League. Therefore, at this time, the two giants have sent substitutes to continue to move forward in the League Cup. If not, don't affect the other two more important fronts.

In this game, Arsenal took the lead in the 19th minute, and Vononen made a mistake in the backcourt pass and was intercepted by Eastmond. Merida's powerful shot from outside the edge of the penalty area on the right hit the inside of the right post and entered the net. Liverpool tied the score in the 26th minute, and Babel received a long pass and headed the ball. Because Sua's volley from 25 yards on the left, the ball was hung over Fabianski and entered the net from the bottom of the crossbar. The two teams tied and tied.

But Arsenal took the lead again in the 50th minute. Merida made a cross from the left, Ramsey stopped the ball, Bentner dribbled the ball and shot from Scotter and scored a goal from the edge of the small penalty area. Arsenal, 2-1, also secured the victory and advanced to the quarterfinals of the League Cup!

The draw against the quarterfinals of the English League Cup was also announced on the last day of October. Both Manchester will face strong opponents, their opponents are Tottenham and Arsenal, while Chelsea's opponent Blackburn is relatively weak. Arsenal will face Manchester City, which is also the other way for the two teams to revenge in the League Cup.

However, the League Cup cannot attract attention at all now, because on the day of the draw, the 11th round of the Premier League will also start, and Arsenal will face the challenge of his arch-rival Tottenham Hotspur at home.

Arsenal defeated Liverpool in the League Cup, but Wenger immediately received bad news. The goalkeeper Fabianski, who just returned, was injured again and would be out for three to four weeks. Previously, Fabianski had been recuperating due to knee surgery. This League Cup was his first appearance this season. He insisted on playing for 90 minutes, but was injured again. It can only be said that Arsenal's third goalkeeper is really unlucky, and Arsenal's injury list looks quite large, which also makes many people think that Arsenal really needs to make choices.

Arsenal will face Tottenham, and the goalkeeper will be between Manoni and Amunia, while other players will definitely not be able to participate in this game due to injuries. They are Willshere (ankle), Walcott (knee), Denilson (back), and Rosici (knee). The Arsenal player Nasri, who has returned, must be cautious when he gets rid of his injury, because he just recovers from injury, and everything is not enough to make people feel at ease.

With eight wins and two draws, Arsenal now has 20 points, fourth in the Premier League. Arsenal is now being followed by Chelsea and Manchester United behind him, and Tottenham's fourth-place standings are also challenged by Liverpool and Manchester City. Such a fierce competition situation has given special significance to the North London derby. The winner of this game can not only be able to be majestic in front of the stale opponents, but will also step on the opponent while improving the team's points.

Therefore, before the game started, the "war of words" between the players of both sides was inextricably matched. The historical grudges of the two teams were very deep, and this was also the real mortal enemy in Arsenal's history.

The historical grudge between Tottenham and Arsenal originated in 1919, when the League One rebooted after the end of World War I and expanded its size from 20 teams to 22. As the bottom team in the previous season, Tottenham originally thought he would become the beneficiary of the expansion. However, Arsenal, who was only sixth in the League Two, secretly bribed the FA executive committee. Finally, when the FA voted for the ownership of the Class A quota, Arsenal robbed the position that should belong to Tottenham and squeezed the opponent into the League Two. It was from this incident that Tottenham fans regarded Arsenal as an irreconcilable enemy. As for the Gunners' fans naturally would not give up any chance to counterattack, and ultimately achieved the current status of the "North London Derby".

For Tottenham Hotspur fans, they can accept the result of the team losing to any opponent, but they don’t want to see Arsenal riding on themselves. 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 many people who have been despised for this in history. As for the most recent one, England international Campbell, who joined Arsenal in the summer of 2001. When Campbell returned to White Hart Lane as an Arsenal player for the first time, he was cursed by tens of thousands of fans at the scene.

As Tottenham captain, Robbie Keane believes it's time to teach Arsenal a lesson: "In the past few years, Arsenal has always been a little higher than us. But now, everything will be different. Look at our bench now and you will find that the lineup is stronger than Arsenal. For us, we are no longer satisfied with playing in the UEFA Europa League in the fifth or seventh place. I believe Tottenham will appear in the Champions League next season."

"I don't know whether Tottenham will appear in the Champions League. Maybe they have this ability. But I know Tottenham is not as strong as Arsenal. Look at the standings, we are the top of the list. As for Tottenham, you have to count from the back of the standings, and when did they defeat Arsenal in the standings? I really don't know where their confidence is built. Maybe speaking big will make them have some confidence, because they can only defeat Arsenal here. "Xiao Qing clearly doesn't take Tottenham seriously. His arrogance will definitely arouse great disgust among Tottenham fans, but the Gunners fans are willing to hear this, which is enough.
