Premier League - Match #35

Arsenal 2
Adebayor, Gilberto Silva

Reading 0

In a pressure free match, Arsenal dominated proceedings against relegation haunted Reading at the Emirates. The 2-0 scoreline could have been bigger but the woodwork seemed to favour the visiting side more.

It was nearly a vintage Arsenal performance with crisp passing were all over the pitch. The decision to start with Theo Walcott also augured well as the England youngster had put on several impressive performances over the last few weeks.

Many fans believe in Arsene's approach to how football should be played and how competitions should be won.

The scoreline did not matter much but the way Arsenal played was really the way of proving the point that a total overhaul of the squad is not necessary. Most players in the current squad are off high quality despite many of them are still at a very young age.

For me, at most we just need three more players, that is after considering the total number of injured players right now. Had all the player been fit, Arsene Wenger would definitely have a bit of a problem in keeping everybody happy.

One thing for sure is that I am hoping very much that Matthieu Flamini would put pen on paper as soon as possible on a new contract with us. After finally cementing his place in the side after a number of seasons being used as a 'utility' player, it would be so strange for him to pack his bags and leave.

If there is one player that I really would like to see scoring goals for Arsenal is Ajax's Klaas Jan Huntelaar who already notched 33 goals for the Amsterdam side this season. Ironically, he was the first player to score at the Emirates when he opened the scoring for Ajax during the Dennis Bergkamp Testimonial match last season.

Now, wouldn't it be nice if he is scoring week in week out for Arsenal at the Emirates?
