Arsenal 4-0 Wigan
Well, it wasn’t exactly the best performance and Wigan has not gotten off to a very good relegation-avoiding season, but Arsenal did what they do and got four goals with a clean sheet. Some will say that 4-0 at home against Wigan is expected but I don’t think any outcome is expected anymore in this league. Expectations are meant to be overturned.
The hero of Saturday’s game was, of course, Thomas Vermaelen. I love the fact folks were saying that he was too short to play central defense, yet he’s scoring headers by jumping higher than anyone else on the field.
Eboue took a attacking role in midfield on the right, Fabregas and Song played in the middle, with Eduardo roaming the left. This was a slightly different midfield from last week, with Denilson sitting on the bench. I’ll assume that it had something to do with Adebayor.
