All hail and a very big, warm welcome to 'Goal Machine', solid, and a no-nonsense type defender, the Belgian, Thomas VERMAELEN!!!!!!!!! In the Gunners' latest encounter, Wigan came to the Emirates for a visit and we managed to have a simple, straight forward 4-0 win over them. As you might have guessed, Vermaelen was the man of the match, scoring two goals and an ever presence in the heart of defence. Great buy Arsene Wenger!!! The first came from a corner, taken by van Persie and bulleted onto the roof of the net by Vermaelen, then the second, coming from the same source, mind you, he is a defender, he was able to curl his goal into the top corner. The third was kinda funny, with a little confusion in the celebration. Eduardo struck a goal bound shot only to be deflected off Eboue which further guided the ball from the reach of Kirkland's arm. The camera was fixed on Eduardo but it took quite some time for his team mate to come congratulate him. Lastly, the goal came from the captain himself, appeared to be struggling with some sort of injury but he made a good run and brilliantly picked out by Bendtner for the fourth. I think, with the team sweeping aside the so-called 'smaller teams' this season so far, we can have a shout as the problem over the years is that we failed to break teams down who only came to defend and worse, losing to them...So far so good, lets keep moving forward!!!
Based on the game and some previous games as well. I do not think that Persie is the best candidate for the central striker position. Firstly, he is not strong enough as a post up player and he is somewhat a little alone at times. I would prefer seeing either Bendtner or Eduardo up there as they provide physical presence and finishing up front respectively. Although I can see the logic putting Persie there is to be the link and build plays, however, we are missing his goals and he appears to be struggling as well. Let's hope this works.
Yesterday, was the Council's second welfare trip. We brought the kids from the "House of Joy" to the Deer and Bird Park. Nature wasn't on our side as it rained before the trip and towards the end of the trip. Tired but worth it nonetheless. Building up to this trip, I did not sleep, literally for over 24 hours....Ask me why? I can't answer you as well....now I feel like a zombie with burning eyes. Gonna sleep soon guys. So, gonna leave it here this time. Carling cup ties coming up, another opportunity for the young and second string players to play. Come on GUNNERS!!!!
