The Return of Gervinho and Song! How it will affect our game

"It has been a stop and start season for me.I took the red card and I am annoyed with myself." Indeed it was a pretty rough time for the new gunner who looked to make his debut against new castle but unfortunately got red carded. I would still say that the reason world cup don't comes to England is bad decisions not only on the field but off the field by F.A as well. The guy who initially started the mayhem got off with just a yellow. Anyways past is past.
The young sensation is coming back and will probably start for Arsenal as we look to take on Rovers. One of the problems I see with our wingers is that they lose the ball way to easily. Closely observe Arshavin and Walcott. Yes, brilliant players no doubt but the ability to keep the ball matters a lot especially when you attack from the side lines.
The arrival of Gervinho will bolster the attack for sure. He got quick movements and agility. All he got to do is try not to get right into defenders which we saw against Dortmund. The guy got brilliant talent. What lacking is the execution and tactical dribbling and movement. Nasri was one of the players who had that quality of attack with technique. 
Anyways the bottom line is the return of Gervinho will prove fruitful and I see an assist by the winger against the Rovers. Lets see what he can do.
Along with the winger we got our defensive midfielder back which is very vital. The importance of Song was clearly shown by his performance against Dortmund. Gotze was powerless the way song kept him at bar. A deserving man of the match. What i'm still waiting is for Park Young to show up. With Arteta and Song in the midfield and Walcott and Gervinho on wings, introducing park right behind RVP is a risk worth taking. 
When I compare last year with present, I see an over all rise and fall thing. Our start was brlliant last year. The ending was as disappointed as it could get. This year the start is well, opposite and I sure hope the end will be opposite too. Nothing feels better than watching your team go to the top. 
The injury list still looks bad. Ramsey condition looks better but its very unlikely that he'll be playing this weekend. According to Wenger, Vermaelen is recovering well and he'll be back after the next international break. I can't wait to see how the combination of Mertesacker and Vermaelen would do for Arsenal. No doubt they are world class but in foot ball at the end of the day its all about chemistry and it's not about how you play the game individually, it is about how you go by it collectively. So, lets see what the weekend got for us.


What do you think?
