If Wenger had said something contentious about the Henry tackle after the game, you can bet your bottom dollar it would have been discussed in depth – just as it was on FiveLive who weirdly enough, are also a BBC station so people shouting BIAS might want to think again. Let's also not forget the corporation employ two of the staunchest gooners of modern times in Dixon and Keown
We have heard of the need to bring in a keeper who can earn a team x amount of points over the course of a season well saves at Manchester City and at Wolves will have his personal point collection ticking over rather nicely I would say. He wasn't finished yet
The manager has said that we will see a different Cesc tonight and I am taking his word for it. Cesc is our string puller, the player who connects the whole team together, the player who can single handedly split the opposition to shreds and we have not seen him at this best for some weeks now
I can understand why Wenger kept Cesc on the pitch even though he was well below his usual high standards. Wenger knows that one moment of vision or timing of run into the box could lead to a goal but it just did not happen
I think Jack Wilshere could well be key figure in his first domestic game since we put Birmingham City to the sword. He will have his work cut out with the likes of Joey Barton and Kevin Nolan going in for 50-50's
As the fulcrum of the team (when he plays) a poor performance seems to reverberate around the entire team like some kind of weird footballing earthquake. Saturday was the perfect example of this. Despite dominating possession and creating chances, Cesc being out of sorts meant the urgency and fluidity was lacking from the game and The Arsenal just looked very flat
What Clichy was thinking about, I will never know. Gael Clichy is a player who I admire greatly, I seem to be in the minority these days. I love his energy, his commitment and his dynamic all action displays but his lapses of concentration like our complacency problems seem to be happening too frequently for my liking
Bendtner has come back in good form and looks sharp. If he gets a start then fingers crossed that he can take it and add to his goals tally
