What a
fantastic away win. Not only did it provide the three crucial points it also showed
that the Arsenal players are up for the fight for the CL spot. Having to dig in
for 20 plus five minutes of injury time in the manner that they did bodes well
for the remaining games.
Spurs on
the other hand are showing fatigue and are now missing key players such as
Bale, Lennon and Defoe. Are the gods looking kindly upon us? Well yes if you
are not an atheist!
I tend to
believe that what has given Arsenal this impetus is the sensational return to
form of Gervinho and Rosicky.
Gervinho
has been a revelation. He seems to have much better control of his movement and
the ball. Before he was so tentative and all over the place. Above all he has
shown abundant pace helping the team with goals and vital assists.
Rosicky I
am delighted for him. He is a key player for Arsenal because he has two
important qualities.
He always
goes forward with pace rather than pass the ball sideways in order to keep possession.
This makes Arsenal a more direct team and therefore much more threatening going
forward.
He is also
a box to box midfielder who scores goals. Arteta doesn’t score, Ramsey doesn’t
score and Wilshere doesn’t score that often. A goal scoring central midfielder
is a must for any team that wants to go places.
The
pressure is on Spurs and Chelsea
now. I expect Chelsea to win against Sunderland but I think Spurs will struggle against
Everton.
Who knows
we might be challenging for 2nd place soon!!!
