Europe, Take Notice

sinyew.tan — Thu, 16 Sep 2010 02:57:17 GMT

Ruthless in attack, flawless at the back. Led by an inspired Cesc Fabregas, Arsenal showed a masterclass in possession and precision finishing.

Europe, take notice.

Going All Out

sinyew.tan — Thu, 16 Sep 2010 02:53:02 GMT

After last night's goal rush, the European stage is set and it's one for the attacking players to exploit.

Pato, Ronaldinho, Robinho and Ibrahimovic will look to continue the trend at the San Siro; Essien and Malouda can add to their goalscoring starts to the season; Ronaldo has the chance to open his account.

At the Emirates, Arsenal can take inspiration from their destructive performance at the weekend; the Gunners will look to the attacking threat of Arshavin and Chamakh.

Will we see another night of goals? Which players will have an impact tonight?

Trust is Fundamental

Bartek Kalanski from the UK has been a goalkeeper since the age of eight. He plays for New College Football Academy and has been recognised for his agility and instincts between the posts.

Goran Slijepchevich from Croatia has two deadly weapons. His left and right foot. Check out his fan page for some great touch, ball control and shooting ability as a speedy striker or left winger.

Jasper Ham from the Netherlands is a left winger or midfielder. He plays for FC Abcoude, and his natural speed and sweet left foot has already impressed coaches.
