Why Arsenal couldn't play it well in Europe?

em...

I think one of the major reasons....

Highbury!!!

the home ground of Gunners...

You may be wonder why I say this...

I watch so many matches for Arsenal in these few years..

I find out that.. as Highbury is so small...
1) they can defend more easier...
2) They could run less

But when they play in other big stadium, for example, they lost in first few yrs in champion league.
Well, they were playing in Wimbley....!!!

also, the small stadium, it affects their attacking styles when they will be away in some giants team...

For example, Robert Pires/Thierry Henry take corners ......
every time when they are at home, they could send the ball to the penalty area/end post.....

but when they play away.. for example, in Old Trafford, except Dennis Bergkamp.. all the rest of players, they could send the ball in front post... .....

It's weird.....

and also.. last year, when they played away vs Inter Milan, that's the exceptional case........

any new idea?

相信與缺乏高質的後備力量及柏金不隨隊作客不無關係

曼聯能於99年奪取歐冠杯,全賴有足夠的替補力量,白雙煞,畢特,科東尼,雲迪古於黑雙煞,堅尼,傑斯及舒米高受傷時尚可支撐.

但試問於作客時已先讓能傳善射的柏金,若亨利及彼里斯等一兩位主力不在狀態下又有哪些球員可替代呢?
