| all you see is Bacary Sagna |
I think there are a good many Gooners who would have spoken very
highly of Bacary Sagna before this season. In 2007-08 he was selected to the
team of the year by his fellow footballers and has maintained a high and
consistent level across his Arsenal career since. In recent seasons he has
stepped up his attacking play and improved his crossing, while maintaining his
defensive tenacity and physical strength.
This year, he started on that same trajectory despite the team’s
miserable start but we have been robbed of his services by a broken leg
sustained at White Hart Lane Blackburn . His absence may have been softened, only for
his understudy to also come up lame. Instead his period out has seen our attack
suffer, teams regularly profit from attacking down our right flank, and
recently a run of dropped points that has undone the real revival we enjoyed
post-Tottenham.
His return could not have come at a better time, as we enter into
a period of very difficult fixtures across three competitions. He hasn’t
featured much yet as he regains fitness, but with a little luck he will be up
to full speed very soon. It’s good to see you, sir. Welcome Bac.
