Official Gunners Thread
yeah I read that. A one minute brace isn't bad at all. It was quiite good of Henry to come out and admit that he was holding back Arsenal towards the end of his stay. It is now rather obvious the influence he had when this season came.
That sucks a fat 1, he is a big game match winner, he's out for a month and then it will take him a couple of weeks to get back to his best arrrrh Eduardo could become a instant fan fav if he can score a match against man u or liver . On a brighter on Denilson has signed a long term contract, i rate him very highly he has a good all around game, Also Fabergas is rated the best mid in the comp on a eurosport poll

Very good point there... I had completely forgotten about diarra when i wrote that - f*ck we've got some serious depth!

Against Bolton at home you'd start one up front? I'd like to see Eduardo given a start in such a situation.
And Rosicky is much better on the left then Diaby (although admittedly he might not be full strength at the moment - sub him for fresh legs later in the game).

Looks like I'm wrong already Arsenal
Negatives: Adebayor had a shocker, Eduardo was pretty ineffective (bar one good run/pass combo).And Eboue really should have buried the opportunity he was presented with.
Positives: How good did Walcott look?! Clichy is amazing and that strike from Toure was simply brilliant.
Bring on Liverpool.

Yeah I got Hleb wrong though.
I think the Bolton game was the best I've seen all season so far, in terms of how the team went about getting the result. We showed so much more maturity, confidence, and calmness than any other time this season. Bolton tried really hard to wind our players up, but other than a few flair ups we behaved ourselves. we were patient and waited for the opportunity to score to come. We seem to have picked up Man U's trick of not playing our best game and still winning. Thats what man u did all season last year. they just played there game and knew that results would come. It seems to be a lot easier to stay at the top, than to try and catch up.
I think we're definitely up for the Anfield mission. Do you think we'll revert to a 4-5-1 for it? Seemed to have been our plan in the big away games last season and it certainly worked. Isn't too much of a step backwards as we still create a heap of chances with only a lone striker. I think Adebayor certainly excels a bit when that responsibility is thrust upon him too - he scored some vital goals last year. He needs to step up further now with Van Persie not around for this trying period, and he is most defnitely capable of that I think. I too think walcott will continue to make further impact off the bench ripthajacka. He is getting better every game that passes. How long will he keep improving? Could be a real star there - can't wait to see him move into the middle of the park. He was a wee bit more central in the bolton match, and wenger is hinting at him moving into a striking role very soon - reeks of henry's development as a youngster...
I was disappointed I had to come to work and consequently miss the second half - they were looking great.
