Take it easy to make it a draw?

Gunners once again showed the take it easy attitude after the 2-0 first half lead which made them pay heavily. If Arsenal had not drawn today they would have sat in a good position in the table. Anyways the season is on and it looks like an open one with all smaller team showing some kind of urgency and raw power in crunch matches. This season shows no matches are easy as people used to think before.

Arsenal played the regular back four and the regular midfield and regular front men today. I guess no need to name them, they were same as last match. After the surprise gift from Green to Van Persie for the first goal. Arsenal pumped in one more with a good header by Gallas from a corner. West Ham goals came from Mannonne block which was headed in by Cole from a freekick of Diamanti and another penalty from Diamanti. Mannonne didn't look the comfortable shot stopper which he was last few games today.

Only man who had some bit of performance on his side today was Alex Song and its time and again now that this chap is coming out good. Eventhough the penalty was given by Song's pressure on Cole, Song was composed and disciplined. Arsenal had Nasri, Eduardo and Bendtner on the bench. I am not sure why Wenger want to keep it late again. It took him 80mins to bring on Bendtner and later Eduardo for Eboue and Diaby. We should have given this pair atleast 20mins time to work out the plans which they never got.

Hope Arsenal takes this as a good lesson. They have to kill matches quickly and don't take it easy. Needs to go for that extra push and finish off as soon as possible. Next match is a knock-out match with Liverpool in Carling Cup. Liverpool showed some style in last encounter with Manchester United. So Gunners get ready for the toughest task in this season for the youngsters.
