Tomorrow we face Hull City. A side who have done exceptionally well this season. Their manager Bruce has shown plenty of respect for Arsene, underlining how difficult it is to be so consistent for such a long time.
Bruce deserves a shout out if not more. He's been a fantastic manager for Hull this season. He's tried to keep the media as far away from his team as possible, and has avoided making foolish errors both on and off the pitch. Furthermore, he has brought well needed talents during the January transfer window, unlike some managers (Cough Cough). The likes of Long and Jelavic brought flair and a hard working attitude to this Hull side.
It's a massive fixture. Our dress rehearsal for the FA cup final. Hammer them and it will send fear down all the Hull city fans and players. But, it will not be that easy, it never is. Extremely excited to see Özil back in the side as well. A few assists and maybe the odd goal or two would do absolutely no harm. We've missed him dearly. Our win rate with him in the side is 63%, without him it's 43%. If that doesn't prove his importance to our side, nothing will.
The priority going into Sunday's fixture has to be to not concede first. Get ourselves in the pole position to win the match by scoring first, and well see where the game takes us.
I would start Özil from the off, with the likes of Podolski, Giroud and The OX as well. Should be enough of a strike force to get us the three points.
Also, I strongly believe that if we beat Hull, top four will be secured. I don't expect Everton to get three points against United, and surely not against City and Southampton. Guess it's not the same old same old for Arsenal. Fighting for a top four sport, but this time with a FA cup final to look forward to! Don't know about you guys, but I'll be more vocal the ever at Wembley. If of course, I get myself a ticket. But that's a whole different story.
Up The Arsenal!
