I don't know what you guys have been smoking but RVP was good tofay! He set up adebayor for the first goal after a nice run and he's the best set-up piece taker in the team so far! (His free kick on the post was again splendid!) He also set-up walcott nicely in the first half. FFS he's actually one of the most consistent players in the team! (when fit)
THe Gallas-Silvestre partnership worked quite well! I feel much more confident with Silvestre in defence as he is capable of defending on high balls.
ALmunia is more and more becoming reliable. He has a new way to get out of his cage which covers much more space, a bit like Reina's outings. Today was another great performance by the spani... errr.. English goalkeeper.
On a darker note, I think that Nikky B is not quite ready yet to take Ade's place. He wasn't at his best today... Not enough physical presence. Though I'll be waiting for the day Nikky takes Ade's place for good. Get rid of the C*nt.
Cesc passing was out today. I think that's the main reason why we had such a hard time scoring. He's involved in almost all our attacking phases, so when he's not at his best, we can clearly see the lack in middle.
One last thing. THeo is just on the breach to become a fantastic player scoring many goals! He still hasn't got all the automatism, but he is starting to get his marks. I believe that at some moment in this season he's going to find his marks, start to feel more confident and score quite a few goals.
Not the best performance today offensively, but in general that was a strong arsenal team, that kept a good west ham team from scoring.
