First game of a brand new season....away from home...against a team who has been challenging the top 4 for quite sometime now...against a team who through sheer resilience made it to the FA CUP final last season...one the other hand we..2 players sold out...4 years without a trophy and now critics pointing out that a top 4 finish will also be difficult with money flowing at Man City....it was pressure...
The end result....Arsenal 6 - Everton 1.Truly unbelievable.
I came in the net cafe and checked the score and I was kicking myself for not staying awake the entire 90 mins. I watched the first half and the score read Arsenal 3 - Everton 0. The match was in the back. I did expect that after the half time break Moyes will tighten up. After all he could not afford humiliation at Goodison Park. But 4 goals were scored in the second half. Fabregas taped in 2 and Edu (am so happy he is back) scored 1, Saha pulled one back for Everton. In the first half it was a beauty from Denilson to open the scoring for the Gunners. Credit also must go to Bendtner, he kpet his cool and more importantly possession in the box before tapping the ball to Fab who passed it on Denilson. "Pick your corner and hit me" was written all over the ball and Denilson did it to perfection.
The remaining 2 goals came from set pieces. Unnecessary fouls committed, and poor marking in the penalty area gave the debutant Vermaelen his first Arsenal goal, followed by the veteran Gallas (yes that Chealsea reject...that abusive ex Arsenal captain) who netted the team's third.
It is a dream start to the season for Arsenal especially they have a tough start to the season with a Champion's League qualifier against Celtic coming up on Tuesday. It is of utmost importance for Arsene to win silverware this season more so if he wants to retain the big names of Fab, Van Persie in the team.
With the likes of Nasri and Ro-sicky (remember him!!??? :) ) we only have one way to go...TOWARDS THE OPPOSITION'S goal.
GO GUNNERS!!!!
