Theo Walcott obviously full of self confidence after a recent goalscoring run had a couple of shots early on, one where he had Adebayor to his left but he turned the defender and got his shot away which was well saved. It is nice to see Theo taking on responsibility

This is going to be the least match review, match review in Arsenal Vision history. I was not at the game and searched high and low for somewhere to watch it to no avail. I managed to watch the extended highlights last night so here goes.

Our already depleted line up against Everton was made less experienced by Wenger. William Gallas was rested and Kolo Toure was absent with injury to a hamstring.

I was hoping that Wenger would start with Traore on the left wing after his impressive substitute appearance against the Toffee’s last week.

Emmanuel Eboue continued on the right wing with Theo on the left. Bendtner continued with Adebayor upfront. Our bench was full of young reserve players like Gibbs, Randall who have returned from loan along with Traore, Nordveit and young keeper Mannone.

The first chance of the game came in the 1st minute of the match, Carlos Edwards had a long range strike plucked from the top corner by Fabianski. That would have done the young Polish international the world of good.

Theo Walcott obviously full of self confidence after a recent goalscoring run had a couple of shots early on, one where he had Adebayor to his left but he turned the defender and got his shot away which was well saved. It is nice to see Theo taking on responsibility now. He is obviously a confidence player and the more games he has the more his confidence will grow.

The first goal came from a delightful Dennis Bergkamp Esq pass from none other than Gilberto Silver who played the ball in between the central defender and full back for Theo Walcott to run through on goal, the Sunderland defenders could not catch him and full of confidence he slid the ball past the goalkeeper. Squid Boy pointed out to me that it was very similar to the young Thierry Henry.

Sunderland had their best chance of the game on 32 minutes when Leadbitter had a header wide when he should have got it on target.

Walcott had a fantastic chance on 39 minutes when Adebayor crossed into the penalty area but Walcott side footed wide, he looked like he had his bearings all wrong. The main thing is that he is getting chances from wide positions something that Hleb and Eboue have not been doing for most of the season.

Kenwyne Jones was replaced on half time after blocking a Gilberto shot in the first half. Jones was replaced with youngster Roy O’Donovan.

On 58, Whitehead was penalised for a back pass. Arsenal had their first freekick from a backpass of the season. Ideally you would want the likes of Van Persie, Rosicky or even Toure around the ball. One of the last people I would have on that list along with Song is Gilberto. Adebayor touched the ball back to the Brazilian who slashed the ball horribly horribly wide and high.

Substitute O’Donovan had a few chances where he should have done alot better especially one cross which Song missed and the ball fell to the young forward who got his shot horribly wrong.

I expected Arsene to give more of the youngsters a chance in a non important game but he only gave Mark Randall and Armand Traore the chance on 81 minutes.

Mark Randall did have the ball in the back on the net but it was given offside on 88 minutes. Randall played a lovely cross field pass to Walcott who beat his man and slipped the ball inside to Randall who was level with the defenders, he turned and shot under the keeper. It should have been a debut Premier League goal for the 18 year old who spent part of last season on loan at Burnley.

Randall will certainly be a Premier League player in my eyes. He has wonderful technique and looks like he has a bit of fight about him. Only time will tell if it will be for Arsenal.

The game was clearly and end of season game with nothing much of note to write about, it reminded me of last seasons match against Portsmouth at the end of the season.

Hopefully the last match report of next season will have a little more meaning and content.
