The first half is terrible by Arsenal and I am geniunely worried about it.
It is no other than Welbeck and Eleny to save the date. Before the game, lots of people make joke about them. But I stood firm to defend Welbeck, he can miss very easy chance, he nonchalant style can make a of people gasp. However, he is a big moment player, he always perform in important game where you need him the most. He's not clinical enough, but he is a very hardworking player. Seeing how he runs all the way back to help the team to defend, and the next moment he already moves up, makes one very good turn, make a simple pass to Eleney, and intelligently make the run into the good position and wait for the return, then score. It's that simple.
He made like 4 or 5 very important interceptions and turn defend into attack in an instant, but the other Arsenal players, except Eleney, really have a bad game (or nerves I would imagine), so they waste a lot of counter-attacking chance. As I said before, give him a proper striker partner, then Arsenal will be amazing with him.
Eleny also had an amazing second half, bossing the midfield, made some great splitting pass that results in two assists.
Kinda dissapointing with Arsenal defense, they need to improve on that if they want to win the Europa League. The defense, as a whole is a mess in this game. Both goals by CSKA are gifted by poor defending from Arsenal. Ozil, Ramsey and Wilshere did not play well either, in the first 65 minutes, CSKA completely controlled it.
Missed a sitter goal, then scored a beauty lol. Although, this goal is simply too awesome, no wasteful movement at all. Touch, turn, pass, move, get the return, curl and goallllllllllllllll!
He didnot have the killer instinct most forward has, but he made it up with his work rate, positioning and movement. Plus, he always performs in big important game. Just give him a world class striker, and Arsenal can make wonder. It has a lot to do with his mentality. In normal game, he likes to do fancied stuffs and make some lobbing *cough cough* attempt, and it never works.
In big game, he tends to simplify things down quite a bit, and he can creates wonders from it. Long shot, movement, get into the right position, high pressure, running non stop, interception, powerful head and busting pace, he has it all.
He's that kind of player, in normal game, he can play terribly because he did not finish well as most strikers (lacking killer instinct to be honest) and he sometimes becomes too fancied with his move. However, once he simplifies things down, like in important, where he normally plays things very safely, his decision and movement and work rate is top notch. I really enjoy the way he scored the goal today, very simple and artistic at the same time. No wasteful in movement, get the ball, one touch, hold and turn, pass a simple ball, move into the right position, get a return, and curl the ball into the net! Simply sublime!
