Sorry it took me quite a while to update my blog.
The Arsenal vs Cardiff match is over and there’s a lot to talk about but I really wanna focus on Eduardo. He’s not just back, he’s back with a bang!!! Seeing him play on Monday really gives me confidence that he could be the one to turn our season around, to give Man United a chase in the league, to guide us to more victories. It’s been almost a year now since he’s out but he looks as though he’s been playing all this while, very strong mentally and physically. He scored two, the first was a header and his second from the penalty spot. Vela assisted him on the first one and Eduardo gave the Mexican a kiss during his goal celebration.

Moving on, besides Eduardo there are some of the Arsenal players who played extraordinarily well in that game. Particularly, Bendtner. I know, people are saying he’s arrogant just because he said he’s never seen Arshavin play and is not afraid of losing his spot on the team due to the Russian’s arrival. Arrogance, huh? Or confidence? U be the judge. During the match though, I really admired Bendtner. He works hard and always goes for the ball. And with his height, he can win headers…no problem. The only complaint may be that he’s a little immature and does unnecessary stuff, such like the yellow card he received for making a dumb tackle. Others whom I would like to commend are Vela, Nasri, Sagna, Toure and Gibbs. It’s kinda like the whole team was brilliant except our central midfielders – Denilson and Song. Denilson was never my favourite player, I mean, he had his chance already and he’s not that good in my opinion. His passes aren’t creative and he looks as though he’s in the team just to make up the numbers. So shouldn’t Wenger try Ramsey or Bischoff to replace him instead? But I’m not saying he s*cks, he just ain’t good enough.
Enough about the individual performances. On Monday, the team was Arsenal living up to its best. The players’ passing were fantastic and fast, our strikers were sharp and on target, Vela and Nasri were dominating the flanks, and our goalkeeper got a clean sheet. In fact, Fabianski didn’t really have much to do the entire game. Arsenal played the way Arsenal can play, Arsenal intimidated their opponents. If this sort of performance persists, we will be unstoppable. Move aside Villa, we’re on our way up.
Good luck Sunderland, you’re next.
