Soccer Round up!

Watch soccer over at jh place just now, yeah arsenal won 2-0 over westham.

Defence
Eboue was back to his best position at right back position. Surprisingly both fullback stay at the back through out the game, thus seeing very little of both clichy and eboue. Defended well enuf.
Silvestre partner gallas at the heart of arsenal defence. I tot that silvestre did quite well alongside gallas. I think tat silvestre will turn out to be a good buy. I am still not convince by arsenal defending. A few time the ball came near arsenal penalty box, the defence seems to be in panic mode.

Midfield
I am glad to see song playing along side fabregas. I tot tat song had a good game. Did alot of defending and liberating fabregas to go forward. Whenever he broke up the play he will break forward to support the strikers as well. Fabregas was off form today, arsenal suffered from that, cant really string passes ard well enuf. Walcott final ball seems to gets better and better. And he always look dangerous. If nasri can be fit he will be a very good player. But currently he seems to be struggling with injury. Substituted again, possibly picking up knocks again.

Striker
RVP too finally able to prove his fitness(finger cross). His shooting is 1st class today, hit e post from a free kick and draw a top class save from robert green. If not for green arsenal would have broke the deadlock in the 1st half. Adeybayor basically won the game for us, since his introduction and perhaps due to tireness settling in, westham struggled to cope with him. He link up quite welll with bentner. Arsenal seems to be able to play all 3 of them.

Almunia have now convince me tat arsenal do not need to buy another keeper. Solid and dependable. This season he made quite a few good save and nv at fault for any of the goal conceded.

Final words, this arsenal squad has high technical ability but i felt that dey lack the speed of previous arsenal teams, overmars anelka henry ljunberg etc.. player like song and nasri perhaps need to speed up.

Wat arsenal now have is a variety of formation, they can play 3 upfront like today, bentner RVP and adeybayor, or go 4-5-1 with nasri walcott supporting adeybayor, diaby song and denilson are all interchangeable to support different system. How good are dey is another question. The answer to tis question will define how arsenal fare tis season.
