Arsenal takes on Wigan Athletic and Wins 4-0!

The team today looked as expected from Arsene Wenger. With Same back line consisting of Sagna, Gallas, Vermaelen and Clichy. Midfield with Fabregas, Song and Diaby. Frontline with Eduardo, Robin Van Persie and Eboue. Eboue had a good match after few weeks atleast. He made lot of instrumental runs forward and received a yellow card for handball. The possession was with Arsenal from the start of the match. Song once again controlled the match in the centre of the pitch.

The first goal came from Vermaelen with a great header of Van Persie's corner. Second goal was a surprise strike by Vermaelen with his superb left foot which banged the net like a meteor. Third goal came off Eboue from a good strike from Eduardo. The fourth and final goal was from the captain Fabregas from a Bendtner cross.

Bendtner, Rosicky and Ramsey came off the bench for Eduardo, Eboue and Diaby. All three were able to make good impact right away. Day seems to be bit bad for Robin Van Persie who missed quite a few good easy chances miss-timing the ball. Wigan played a very dangerous game by their players dedicated to foul young gunners. Arsenal stood strong with the body game of Wigan. We have seen lot of Arsenal team coming to defense when the opponents starts fouling but this one attacked with more vigour. Mannone the young goalkeeper of Arsenal had an ok match with very few chances to show his worth. The whole battle was in midfield with Song winning most of his tackles and also receiving a yellow card for a foul.

The 4-3-3 formation which Arsene Wenger was trying to employ this season is getting mixed results which makes it impossible to comment. Since the season has just started and there is long way to go, we will reserve the comments for later. Anyways the wingbacks in Clichy and Sagna is not that effective or used in the formation. Arsene Wenger can also decide on playing CB all around the back four and controlling the match with tight marking too. This will be funny to watch. We will be playing West Bromwich Albion on Tuesday for the Carling Cup. Hope to see more young gunners shine and make a contention for place for the next season.
