Adebayor strikes...

It was a bland first half. Things only start happening or rather, come alive during the second half. The way the Gunners and Wigan played…it seems to be that both teams are contented to grid out a draw.

Sigh. The Beast looked pretty lost. As mentioned before, I reckon most South Americans need time to settle in. I gather Edu, Silvinho and Gilberto took some time to adapt, they were great soon after.

Once again, with our talisman captain out till next year, Emmanuel Adebayor reprise the striker’s role again. His strike in the 88th minute was the match winner and sent Arsenal to third in the Premiership. Fabregas came in as a sub… sent a killer through pass for Adebayor to shoot pass the injury-prone Chris Kirkland. That was the Pass of the Match.

Frankly, I don’t really fancy this Togo striker. He don’t quite look the part. But his vital goals against Man Utd, Spurs and now, Wigan had slightly change my mind. However, my opinion is that he is still not quite good enough.

It has always been frustrating to me, or any Gooners that Arsenal do not splurge much in the transfer markets. Seeing Chelsea snapping all the best available players around has been nauseating.

Once again, Kolo Toure gave an assuring performance, he was ever so composed and reads the game excellently. Poor Wigan…don’t really deserve to go home empty handed. They did pushed the once mighty Arsenal all the way.
