Well, the season's started for the Gooners.
Carzola offered creativity albeit in flashes. New strikers are trying hard but not off the mark yet. And yes, considering we have not scored a single goal this campaign, the doom-sayers of anti-Arsenal are not as incessant as it was last year.
Sure, we didnt score goals, but we sure made many problems for Sunderland. Against Stoke though, there was a bit of reservedness in the way we play so we created crap in my opinion. We didnt deserve to win at Stoke but we should have at sunderland. A point to note though is that the MFs take more responsibility defending as a team now so our clean sheets so far are not just down to pure luck. At set-pieces, i rarely felt we were threatened! Imagine against Stoke and Sunderland i am saying this! Kudos Steve Bould and team.
Enough! Go on and on about this then you would qualify like those sports pundit nannies on The New Paper and in England who doom Arsenal anyways.
Lets look ahead. Next game Liverpool on a resurgence. No doubt, this is a revolution with Liverpool this year. It isnt just about the manager, its the players. Can we pass this test. As it is away, the bare minimum to get is a point. But given we are Arsenal, the boys will want to continue to put one over them at Anfield again.
WIN - The media can finally hint at our continued era without RVP has a chance. (Who are newspaper critics to be trusted anyway?)
DRAW - Depends how we played to get the draw, it still is positives as we would have cast aside 3 difficult games and focused our minds on the needful winning streak thereafter in Sep onwards.
LOSE - It will feel psychologically a blow to the confidence to the team on the whole. YES, even if we played well at Anfield and lost, the team may feel it is not as sweet rosy as they thought. The newcomers will feel even more added pressure to get on scoresheets straightaway.
In short, unite together and put on your fav jersey and shout COYG this coming Sunday!
