Arsenal beat WBA on saturday in the opening fixture of the EPL with one goal.The goal was scored by debutant Samir Nasri in the 4th minute as Denilson cut back a brilliant pass in the penalty box which Nasri put in with ease.
Arsenal were pretty much quiet after that but they did have some great chances especially when Robin Van Persie came in for Bendtner during the second half.The defense was decent but it lacked the confidence and timing of Kolo Toure who was on the bench and came on in the second half.Captian William Gallas looked abit rusty and in need of some match fitness but overall he commanded the game well.Fans around were definatly expecting more goals especially with a new advert campaign “More Goals Please” going around the EPL.
My final thought is Arsenal definitely need one more signing to bolster up the Midfield.Denilson is a great player but he needs a lot of time to progress and develop but someone with a good amount of experience would be great to slot in the center.A hard tackling,determined,hard working defensive midfield general would be a great addition to partner Cesc Fabregas or any other young midfielder at Arsenal.I really don’t expect Wenger to splash out a large some of cash on one big name player and that is a great policy.
