Walking The Walk?

Barclays Premier League
Arsenal 3-0 West Brom 05 November 2011
Van Persie [22], Vermaelen [39], Arteta [74]

Our captain has been lauded for his impressive strike rate this season but he himself has admitted there is room for improvement when it comes to setting up goals for his teammates. That would be addressed with some interest, but not before he arrived in perfect time to put us ahead against West Brom.

The visitors defended gamely and limited space to the degree that we struggled to find any real threat in our attack, but at the first opportunity Ramsey played a wonderful pass between the back four, Walcott latched onto it, and the rebound from his shot was slammed home by Van Persie. Quick thinking and delightful execution from Rambo, who has steadily grown into the creative charge he has been given in midfield. Like a boss.
