Arahvin and the ever improving Walcott to Arsenal's Rescue!

Arsenal Finally huffed and puffed to carve out a narrow win away At Ewood park! With goals by Andrey Ashavin And Theo Walcott who both scored in last week trashing of Blackpool doing the damage to Avenge defeat against Blackburn at the same ground last year with the SAME Scoreline! Giving them a perfect undfeated record in three games although there is going to be a little worry of Dutchman Robin Van persie who finally just came back from Injury! And I'm quite worried with the form of Laurent Koschielky to as he didn't perform as i expected so is Ces Fabregas who still seems off pace!...Is it still because of the transfer case?..Hopefully not...Well anyway,this was the official line up of the teams:


Arsenal XI:
Manuel Almunia
Bakary Sagna
Gael Clichy
Laurent Koshielhy
Thomas Vermaelen
Alexandre Song
Cesc Fabregas
Abou Diaby
Robin Van Persie
Theo Walcott
Andrey Arshavin

Subs: Lukasz Fabianski,

Maroune Chamakh
,
Kieren Gibbs,
Emmanuel Eboue,

Jack Wishire
,
Thomas Rosicky
,
Carlos Vela

Blackburn XI:
Paul Robinson
Michel Salgado
Ryan Nelsen
Christopher Samba
Gael Givet
Mame Biram Diouf
Phil Jones
Morten Gamst Pedersen
El hadji Diouf
Vincenzo Grella
Nikola Kalinic

Subs:
Mark Bunn
Pascal Cimbonda
Martin Olsson
Brett Emerton
David Dunn
Steven Nzonzi
David Holliet

As expected from some previews,Changes were made from the team that beat Blackpool last week,With Robin van persie Coming on for Maroune Chamakh and Cesc Fabregas for the injured samir Nasri in the starting 11 as they were considered fit to play...And Also the welcoming back of Defender Laurent Koschielky who was suspended for a game after being sent off against Liverpool in the first week And Alexandre Song getting back his preferred position at the heart of midfield.While Maroune Chamakh And Jack Wilshire who impressed last week sitting on the bench! But with Blackburn known for their aggressive and dirty Tactics,Well it seem alright to put players who have 'been there' in the heart of things...Anyway,it was a great start From Arsenal as they didn't seem to have any problem As Abou Diaby(Best player on the field for me) almost getting on the score sheet but just whistled out...



Theo Walcott


With the game getting more pacey plus with the torrent of rain falling on the grounds of Ewood park! Arsenal took the first blow of things with Theo walcott got at end of things to Score his 4th goal in the 20th minute! The goal caused by a good ball from Robin van persie to find the Pacey hot pocket who manage to beat the offside trap and slide the ball in.,

That wasn't the end of things as Arsenal countinued pushing forward..But with all the pressure it was Blackburn who equalized with on loan Mame Biram Diouf from Man Utd Scored in the 27th minute...With Arsenal's Defence falling to Contend El Hadji Diouf Who manage to open up space for the Young player.

The Second half started with Both teams not giving in as They continued to play that type of game which was there in the first half! But Six minutes into the game,Andrey Ashavin got Arsenal's lead back With a cross from Bakary Sagna that Was found by Cesc Fabregas which was blocked well by the defense but unfortunately found Arshavin who made no mistake to beat Paul Robinson for the second time of the match on the 52nd minute.

Arsenal Later made a few changes with The introduction of Thomas Rosicky And Jack wishire On for Cesc Fabregas and Goalscorer Andrey Asrhavin.The change prove delightful as both players added some energy and influence in the game.And Perhaps Jack Wilshire could have even scored and make it 3-1 if he hadn't slipped at that point.

Well the game finally Ended,With Blackburn Failing to Stop Arsenal from Thier great start to the League.But as Earlier said,There would be Worry for Arsenal As thier top Striker Robin Van Persie who got injured for the latter of last season seem to be injured again.With possibly an ankle injury,We would still need confirmation from the Physios back at the lab.

Well I'm still also really worried about Cesc Fabregas as that transfer case doesn't seem to have be forgotten cause he really seem out of place earlier with lack of ball control which we saw last season.One player i really loved was Abou Diaby Who For this three weeks,Haven't really Not impress me..With his slick passing and dribbling.He would definitely be on top of the list if he continues to play like that.Unlike Cesc Fabregas,He really did well to control the heart of the field.And Also Theo Walcott And Andrey Arshavin who both have been the main reason why Arsenal are up there,With Walcott Already Scoring four...Don;t forget Arshavin who also has collected 2 goals!But what particularly pleased me was the hair do of Alexandre Song who kinda reminded me of Abel xavier :)

For Blackburn,They really showed they got the quality to be among the top up in the english league as Players like Samba And Compatriot Nelsen really Controlled the movement of Chamakh and co who in fact would have attacked more if not for their Defensive skills. Plus with El Hadji Diouf Pace and skills did indeed give Arsenal some scary moments as seen in the build up to their only goal!

Well Overall It was a great game...Not to many goals but this is the greatest league in the world! We have to expect toughness ;)

My man of the match:Abou Diaby
