Of Arsenal 1-0 WBA
Every football fan had a busy weekend, Arsenal VS West Bromich Albion, the season opener for the Barclay's Premier League 08/09 season.
Didn't manage to watch the full game due to studies etc, but replays came within the hour and congrats to Nasri for getting that first goal of the campaign on his arsenal home debut.
1-0 to gunners when it could be much more, perhaps it should be, because its West Brom, but hey, be realistic, it is first game of the season, players are rusty, nerves come on, first-teamers out injured. 3 points is the result, i ask for nothing more from this game, just a better performance come the second match of the season.
Alumunia had a good game, keeping out shots he shouldn't have to take had the defence been sharp enough.
Djouro starts beside Gallas in the absence of a fully-fit toure(he came on later for Walcott for a right winger position). Not a perfect performance but the pairing did well enough to cope with the forwards, Sagna is still as good as he can be and Clichy, i love clichy(not in a gay way), he's always full of energy and a frightening sight for the right winger and right back of any opposing team.
Eboue came in for Ramsey, who in turn was a deputy to Diaby would was out injured. Eboue partnered Denilson who would not play had Fabregas been fit while Theo Walcott and new boy Nasri took the wings. A youthful midfield that was, but they stood their ground.
Upfront, bendter and adebayor looks like a weird pairing but at least i see the 2 giants working better this term, vis the ugly faces and shouts against each other last season.
Van Persie and Toure came on as subs, short on fitness perhaps. These 2 are gems and when Van Persie gets and stays fit, expect goals and clever play.
Wenger would have time this week to bring in that "One more body in midfield". Liverfools' Alonso remains a name in the press but i doubt Prof Wenger will go for him at that price though, expect someone with little reputation, costing us what's he's actually worth and able to replace Gilberto Silva.
Justin Hoyte, our english rightback joins Boro, good luck lad, thanks for all the fish.
