Russian Wonder boy proves me right!

Today we had witnessed why Arshavin is our magic wand on big games. Arsenal was unable to find the net for quite some time. To be precise for 85mins. The match was equally poised except for few volleys by the Madrid rivals. Athletico Madrid was not able to use their speed as well as what gunners did. Van Persie, Bendtner and few others had their fair share of misses before Arshavin, Eduardo and Fabregas came to the pitch.

Arshavin scored two goals out of which one was unbelievable. No words to describe that. If I try it should be my mistake to do so. I can tell you that a back pass from the defender, he collected before Athletico goalkeeper could still the ball was rolling out and he had to run and dive to put it in. You should be watching this. As soon as I get the video will post it for you.

Wilshere had pace and skills which he displayed with ease today. The defense was more organized but Gallas and Djorou tried to keep a very high offside trap. Most of the time they where successful except for the Pacheco's goal that levelled on 87th min for what Arshavin had done to them on 86th minute from a Fabregas pass inside the box. The second goal came well on time 89th minute when we needed it. Arsene was seen bit angry on the few misses we have had and also while we allowed them to equalize.

I won't be surprised if he ever bought a defender this time. We definitely need on more centre back and no reason to deny. In our site we don't write on rumours or speculations. But definitely whoever Arsene is buying should be a centre back and one striker who is in there before RVP or Arshavin. Current crop of guys are good and fast improving and will be certain threat for the big teams in BPL.

Arsenal will be playing Rangers tomorrow. Rangers had won their first fixture of Emirates Cup 1-0 against PSG.
