Chelsea vs Arsenal - thrashed

There's definitely alot of negative things to say about this game, about how Arsenal always fail to turn up against big teams yada yada. It is true. It's a known fact. What's worse is that in the same night, all of the other rivals did well, MC won, Liverpool won, and with hat-tricks in both teams. Heck, even a club like Manchester Utd, who has had a rough season, won. Today's points will not be about what went wrong in the game, but what Arsenal must do in order to still fight for BPL champion!

Talking Point 1: Yes Arsenal still not out yet
Many have written off Arsenal as the champion this season. Truth be told, chances are getting slimmer, but Arsenal and their fans must continue to believe that they can still emerge as champion of the league. When you stop believing, that's when everything starts crumbling down. You can lose a match, but you mustn't stop believing that you can bounce back. The squad must be motivated so that they would not bring the haunting image of 6-0 to their next match. Believe, believe, believe. That has what gotten Arsenal so far this season, and it will continue to carry Arsenal to greatness.

Talking Point 2: Giroud Giroud Giroud
There isn't a time better than this to show your worth. The next game, Giroud must show why he is the frontman of Arsenal and repay back the trust that Wenger has in him. He has NOT shown up in big games so you'd expect him to show up in the coming games against mid-tier teams. The pressure is now off because Arsenal has only one 'big team' left to face. The rest, Giroud should really pound in the goals. TRAIN TRAIN TRAIN. C'mon man, Arsenal is counting on you.

Talking Point 3: Is Ramsey and Ozil the key?
When Ramsey got injured, you can see a shaky Arsenal. With Ozil gone, Arsenal has been ripped to bits and pieces. Now that they are returning, can Arsenal really count on these two when they get back? Will the pressure be too much on them, especially Ramsey? Nevertheless, Ramsey must be fit, both physically and mentally in order to help carry Arsenal in what's left of the season (should Giroud fail to do so). What about Wilshere? Is he the key too?

Talking Point 4: Drive
Wilshere, Rosicky, Chamberlain, Flamini, Ramsey. These are the 5 midfielders that Arsenal have in which can really drive the match. I'm really getting sick of watching Arsenal passing the ball to no avail. Possession is good, but there times in which you have to drive the ball forward to create a chance. Arsenal have done very little of that and they are always resetting the play by passing back to Boss, Per and Mikel. Drive the fricking ball man.

Hopefully, this Chelsea vs Arsenal will be the last of which we see Arsenal getting pounded. Time to bring it! Thrash it! Win it!
