... early-season performances has been a player who I feel flatters to deceive all-too-often. Robin van Persie. Robin scores incredible goals. He has one of the most powerful shots i've seen an Arsenal player possess. He can bang free-kicks in from almost anywhere within 30 yards or so of goal. But, to paraphrase Janet Jackson, what has he done for us lately? Against Fulham he was abject, sauntering...

... and the sprightly Theo Walcott tormented him all night long. It was his cross that allowed Robin van Persie to touch the ball back for Samir Nasri, whose dummy took out three men before Nasri’s deflected left-foot strike rolled in to give us the lead. That’s two in two home games for Nasri, and I really like the look of him. If he keeps up that scoring record, then by December he’ll have...

... Bendtner received the ball, his first touch let him down when he was through on goal. Next it was van Persie to show that he too has not yet found his scoring boots. Following a great run from Walcott, he squared the ball, with the goal at his mercy, van Persie curled his shot around the post. Denilson and Walcott both came close, but the Arsenal fans could not believe that the score...

... Almunia Sagna - Djourou - Gallas (c) - Clichy Walcott - Fabregas - Denilson - Nasri Bendtner - van Persie Djourou and Gallas did well a few games ago and I thought they should’ve continued their partnership; Toure came back for the Fulham game and our defending wasn’t very tight at all. Those two did well last night though. Fabregas got his first game of the season and did pretty well. Bendtner...

A further goal, or even two, should have been forthcoming before the interval, with Van Persie setting up Denilson with precision, but the Brazilian struck the effort straight at Nikolai Mihaylov. And then Walcott took advantage of a defensive error, passed to Van Persie only for the Dutchman to send his attempt agonisingly wide.

... he’s already 20% to Hleb’s three year total of goals. Nice. Nasri celebrates two in two home games Van Persie was guilty of one of the worst misses you’ll see all season after having a chance served on a plate by Walcott, but you could argue that if he was to miss one of those, this was a good match for it. In the second half, Gallas charged upfield and was rewarded when Bendtner’s shot...

... There were a few clear-cut chances wasted before the break, none worse than a shocking miss by van Persie. With the goalkeeper gone AWOL the striker fired wide with the goal at his mercy to continue his rather dissapointing form in front of goal. He will hope for much better going forward. At half-time Nasri was subbed off for Eboue - the manager later revealing he was suffering from a stomach...
