Arshavin Says Yes We Can

Arshavin Says Yes We Can !

After Arsenal's 1 - 0 win over Liverpool Andrei Arshavin is more upbeat about Arsenal's - da vozmozhno ! - he might have said (Yes, it is possible). Not sure if that's what he actually said but certainly words to that effect.

On his site he says "The gap was reduced to 6 points ... but we need to win all remaining games. It is difficult to say whether it’s real. Back to Liverpool game, .... I liked the way we played today. We were not afraid to play, the whole team was well-coordinated, if I can say so, all Arsenal players played the same football, that is, we understood each other and combined."

"I didn't see the goal because of my injury. I was in the room under the stands with the doctors. While we were looking for a TV remote, Diaby scored. I think he scored a beautiful goal that brought us an important victory."

How serious is his injury?
"It is hard to say, I’ll have my leg scanned tomorrow."

It appears in fact that Arshavin will be on the sidelines for a while after picking up a hamstring injury against Liverpool.

Arsene Wenger said after the game "Arshavin has a hamstring problem... We have to make a scan on Arshavin tomorrow."

Arshavin came off in the 67th minute of the match.

Samir Nasri was also injured and replaced by Tomas Rosicky after 33 minutes with a head injury.

Arsene Wenger said : "Nasri had a knock on his head. He felt unwell and I didn't want to take a chance because it was his head. That's why I took him off. He wanted to stay on but he felt sick so I didn't want to take a chance."

So it's game on for the Gunners, except they may be without Arshavin for a while. Arsenal have an easier run-in though as they have already played all their games against the other big 3, whereas Chelsea Man Utd and Liverpool all have to play each other at least once.

So maybe they will do it after all ! Da vozmozhno !

Rumours are doing the rounds again that Fabregas may be moving to Barcelona at the end of the season, but they sound a bit warmed up to me.
