It was an evening when Arsène Wenger was left with a particular regret. Olivier Giroud pulled up in the 76th minute and when the Arsenal striker shot his hand back to the hamstring on his right leg, it did not look good. Wenger suggested the forward would be out for three weeks – in other words, the whole of the congested festive programme.

It was an occasion when Arsenal got the http://www.authenticavalanchejerseys.com/Authentic-Sven-Andrighetto-Jersey job done. It was not pretty and the headline statistic showed there had been only one shot on target throughout the game. It was Womens Wes Horton Jersey a scruffy effort from Danny Welbeck – entirely in keeping with the overall tone – but it made the difference.

David Moyes said that “you certainly wouldn’t call it an Arsenal goal” but nobody in red was complaining, least of all Welbeck. The West Ham United manager bemoaned the space that Mathieu Debuchy was allowed to find in the inside-right channel and when he headed Francis Coquelin’s chipped ball across into the danger zone, Welbeck leapt between Winston Reid and James Collins.
Moyes could not understand why neither of his defenders was able to clear, and the ball broke kindly for Welbeck. From close range and without making a clean contact he bundled it past Joe Hart.
Arsenal have bigger fish to fry and the evidence was provided by Wenger’s decision to give the night off to every member http://www.nflbengalsofficial.com/Authentic-Trey-Hopkins-Jersey of his starting line-up from Saturday’s Premier League win over Newcastle United. The visit of Liverpool on Friday evening looms large.
But after the first whistle had gone on this Carabao Cup quarter-final Wenger wanted to progress just as much as his second-stringers needed to impress. He got his wish. It was hardly a vintage performance against a West Ham team who offered frustratingly little as an attacking force. But it was enough.
Wenger has never won the League Cup in any of its guises Womens Semyon Varlamov Jersey but if he is to reach the final he will have to navigate a punishing schedule. When the two legs of the semi-final are factored in Arsenal face nine matches over the next Mel Ott Jersey 35 days. It is a period, as Wenger pointed out, when he cannot afford to lose players.
Coquelin was also forced off before the end but http://www.officialauthenticgiantstore.com/Nike-Davis-Webb-Jersey.html the manager reported he had suffered only cramp to a hamstring and he should be available for Liverpool. Giroud was the concern. “A hamstring is normally 21 days,” Wenger said. “It looks like he is out for Christmas. We will normally do a scan 48 hours after [the injury] and then we will have an idea of the grade.
“When you hear him the pain is quite big, but the grade is not always linked with the pain.”
West Ham had arrived with confidence, after taking seven points from an available nine in the league, but there was no single moment when they stretched their hosts. As such, it did not seem as if they departed with any regrets.
Asked to chase the game in the second half, the sum total of their efforts was a 64th-minute free-kick from Aaron Cresswell Kyle Fuller Womens Jersey that curled well wide. The 7,000 travelling supporters celebrated having had a shot. http://www.jetsofficialsonline.com/Robby_Anderson_Jersey_Cheap West Ham did not have too much of the ball and when they did, they took poor care of it. That disappointed Moyes but not as much as the concession. “It was a horrible goal to give away,” he added.
