Its all about the midfield now - The blend of Ramsey and Arteta

The game is just around the corner. For many it will be tommorow, the season start for Arsenal. You can say a bit late but still the good thing is it does finally starts. Every body is excited to finally see how things will go with the new and now can be rightfully said "Experienced Arsenal Team". The blend of youth and experience we see at Man utd is exemplary. Though they our biggest rivals (and like you i hate them too) but still when it comes to games, United is far ahead of us now.
Its not easy to cover off eight points right in the beginning of the season but its just the start. We saw Chelsea last year topping the table than gradually dropped of to sixth position. But that is highly unlikely for the champions and we must not expect them to lose. What we should expect and hope for is for our team to step upto the mark. The competition in EPL is now rated the highest. Man City despite having all the money, i think will soon drop points. The main reason is no matter how many players you sign, at the end of the day what matters is the team chemistry and understanding. These traits are yet to be grasped by the City. But looking at their games it looks like the club is working alot on the team and that is the reason they are regarded as among the favourites for the title this year.

For the gunners now a lot depends on midfield. We can hope that the defence does his job too but the midfielder job is central. He has to look forward as well as back. The entry of Arteta is indeed a grand signing. Though many consider it as a move out of sheer desperation but I think the guy got brilliant play maker abilities. He might not be our next Fabregas but he will indeed influence a lot in the mid field. Having the young Wales captain Ramsey on his side things will get even better. We will be watching the blend of youth, dynamism with experience and tactical game play. Arteta will be in a lot of pressure this saturday as the Whole arsenal world is looking up to him. His first performance is of utmost importance. But we shouldn't expect him to be the messiah of the team right from the beginning. He has came to a new place. In his interview he said he hardly knew any one here but he will settle soon. And that he should. That what makes a football player great, his "adaptability".

Ramsey himself is pretty much happy about the fact that he has got a supporting mid fielder now. I think Arteta will have a very positive influence on the young blood of our club. Another positive point would be the addition of Santos who is pretty much like Clichy. Van Persie will be a lucky guy now. He got some good play makers behind him. All he got to do is finish!

So, lets see whats the tommorow game hold for us. Remember not to expect much from the new players right from the first game. Give them time and pray that our club be revived soon to its old glory days. Remember the invincibles. GO GUNNERS GO!
