VS Forest
Midweek Cup
Arsenal can be said to have more to gain than to lose, Ödgö, and Martinelli and a host of other starters to start the game, the result is also 0-2 defeat. I can see that Arteta for the UEFA Cup group first place is very important, but still did not do all the effort. In the past week, the Gunners had two consecutive games without a win, and five consecutive games without more than one goal per game, and the offensive performance began to decline.
Nottingham Forest renewed the long term contract of their manager Cooper, and as a result, the team got 5 points in the last 4 rounds of league matches, and even beat their strong opponent 1-0 in the last round. In the past 4 league matches, Nottingham Forest played more conservatively and conceded only 2 goals in total, a fundamental improvement in defensive performance. For the Gunners, Nottingham Forest is also considered to be a narrow enemy, last season's game, Arsenal was blocked by Nottingham Forest out of the game.
