Not that bad though, we can play Arshavin left wing and Gervinho right for now.. the problems we have are more defensive. Mertersacker looks pretty good though. Unsure if Santos is actually worth playing at all if Gibbs is preferred.. but either way not too bad.
Some thoughts:
- Ramsey was pushed off the ball a lot, needs to bulk up, but overall pretty decent display.
- RvP's fitness is obviously going to make or break our season, sadly as always
- Gervinho is a lazy ******* who needs to attack the far post and stop wandering up and down the touchline all day at a slow canter, reminds me a bit of Kanu, capable of magic but 90% ****.
- Arteta's energy and willingness to try a tackle puts the rest of the midfield to shame.. always bothers to track back.
We were frustrated too long by Bolton's pressing, need players to work harder finding space when players decide to get tight quickly, otherwise we'll keep losing posession and goals versus different teams. It's hardly a secret that you need to go tight and hard on Arsenal to win as they just don't fight hard enough right now and work for each other.
One very satisfied gunner today.
