Arsenal need to Improve

Arsenal failed to get 7th victory in a row in English Premier League after held 1-1 by Birmingham. Arsenal were struggling in first half but it's really Arsenal's second half. They had more than 10 chances but in the end they could only one goal could be scored. Arsenal should have had penalty on first half after Theo Walcott is brought down in the box.

Arsenal wouldn't win anything this season if they don't improve. They looked didn't have any creativity when Fabregas didn't make any impact in the midfield. Until Nasri and Arshavin comes in, Arsenal had few chance to score. Birmingham even had more chances. Arsenal should replace Nicklas Bendtner with other striker. Bendtner isn't bad, but he is really inconsistent, but usually he is flop of the team. Maybe Wenger should try to play Eduardo da Silva from the first minute or even Carlos Vela plays. Carlos Vela has a good potential but he hasn't got enough minutes of playing this season.

And it's right what Arshavin said, Arsenal need two or three more star player to win a trophy. Arsenal only has few world class player, Andrey Arshavin, Cesc Fabregas, Samir Nasri, Thomas Vermaelen, and Robin Van Persie. And in the match against Birmingham, Arsenal only started with Cesc Fabregas. It's obvious Fabregas couldn't dominate the midfield. He need one or two tandem in midfield. Abou Diaby is good, but he is yet to show his peak performance.

Wenger might have played wrong formation, instead of putting Mikael Silvestre on the center back, Wenger tends to make Song the central defender. Song is a good defender. But he is more needed in the midfield. This season, Arsenal has been struggling without Alex Song in the Defensive Midfielder, and Wenger must have realized that. Denilson is more like an playmaking midfielder. I have to admit he is good, but he isn't suitable to be a defensive midfielder.

A match against Barca is waiting in the midweek. Arsenal have to forget the draw against Birmingham. They'll have to do they best. Without disrespecting Birmingham, if they couldn't beat Birmingham, how would they beat sextuple "Los Fantasticos" Barcelona. C'mon Wenger, Prove a Point! You're a great manager, and show to world that you can beat Barcelona!!
