The little pocket sized Russian Arshavin who originally didn't seem to know that he was on set piece duty, jogged over to take it 'That makes sense, he will be hardly any use in the box would he?'

We are missing Theo Walcott and Eduardo who will come short and spin in behind the defender, Arshavin's repertoire of passes will unlock many doors

Arsenal were changing up the gears and Bendtner found himself in the left channel a minute later, he crossed outside of the right foot for Nasri who was sliding in but couldn't connect with the ball

Arshavin pulled up a little before the half time whistle and we feared that he may have picked up an injury that would have been typical of our club over the last few years

Eduardo showed his class a minute later with a superb outside of the foot half volley pass into Vela's path on the left wing. Vela ran in towards the Cardiff goal and fired in a low drive that was saved by Heaton in the Cardiff goal

Emmanuel Eboue started the game much in the way he started the West Ham match, he was penetrating without finding the end result in the final third. His driving runs were giving the team an outlet

Van Persie came on with twenty minutes to go, Bendtner was having a better game than Adebayor and should not have been the one to go off but maybe Wenger was counting on the understanding between Ade and Robin

It is those situations where you wonder what it would be like if we had the likes of Theo Walcott and Tomas Rosicky in the final third. Players who are more natural at scoring goals

Adebayor had a massive chance to win the game in the 75th minute. Van Persie's cross flicked off the head of a defender and landed at the feet of Adebayor who mis-kicked and the danger was gone

You could see the concentration going through Nasri's head as he steadied himself and aimed for the far corner. That goal on his stronger side would have been impressive but on his weaker side, glorious
