1. We managed to keep a clean sheet and get off the board in terms of points

2. Abou Diaby is back! He will be a massive player for Arsenal

3. Considering the amount of players missing our bench looked pretty strong today

4. Carl Jenkinson(who was horrific today) will only be at RB for a little while longer

5. Despite his woeful miss Olivier Giroud proved he can be a fox in the box with his terrific movement

6. It could be worse I mean afterall we could be Liverpool........

7. We are currently 1 point above Tottenham and we can at least hope Chelsea and others slip up tomorrow and Monday

8. Alex Song has now departed and Wenger has confirmed a replacement will be bought

9. Lukas Podolski will only get sharper and fitter from now on in

10. Last and not least I have saved the best till last..........SANTI CAZORLA! WOW! What a sensational performance he was at the heart of everything and if the early signs are to be an indication of whats to come then I truely believe he can become an Arsenal great


A statistical look at Santi Cazorla's unbelievable debut.

Despite Arsenal not scoring today, Santi Cazorla was absolutely phenomenal. That's no exaggeration. Had it not been for Sunderland keeping 10 men behind the ball at all times and Arsenal's shaky finishing, Cazorla would have had a couple of goals and a couple of assists.
The ever reliable 'Who Scored' gave Cazorla a rating of 8.3 for his debut - for a bit of perspective, David Silva and Juan Mata averaged scores of 7.5 and 7.3 last season in the Premier League. Obviously it's hard to compare a one off to an average over the course of a season, but it's all we have to go by at the moment.
Cazorla is known for his attacking play, but made a defensive contribution which is well above the Premier League average. He made 3 tackles and 2 interceptions, making one foul in the process.
Offensively Cazorla was almost flawless. He made 3 successful dribbles, had 4 shots on goal and made a phenomenal 7 key passes. No other Premier League player made more than 2 key passes today, whilst the entire Sunderland team made just 3 key passes.
Over the course of the game Cazorla made 77 passes, with 72 of those finding a teammate, giving him passing accuracy of 93.5%. That also means around 10% of Cazorla's completed passes were key passes.
If you don't like to listen to stats, simply watch the highlights of the game to see how good Cazorla was. He was absolutely everywhere. Arsenal's best player by a long way.


Next 5 matches:

Stoke A

Liverpool A

Southampton H

Chelsea H

Manchester City A


I dont need to say anything else just look at those fixtures.......it will determine what we can or cant achieve this season

Cazorla is a guaranteed chance creator from any position, and he works hard too. If we can Sahin and Wilshere to the side we're going to make a lot of chances for Poldi, Theo, and Giroud.

Winner.

Giroud and Podolski are better players than than Ba and Cisse, no question.
