Guys, guys. They just played Derby for crying out loud. Before we go handing over the triple to Wenger, let's remember that this club last got pantsed by Liverpool 6-0 just recently.

By that measure, Arsenal is underperforming....

If it wasn't for Jens Lehmann Arsenal would have a 100% start. That is impressive.

That would be surprising.Van Basten doesnt really kick ass as a manager IMO.It could reap dividends in the future, but i dont think Chelsea will win anything this season if Van Basten is given the job.Someone like Hiddink for example,but be able to win a trophy or two this very season.Van Basten's for the future.Not the present.

The red cars just killed the game, and Chelsea had no really chance to score a goal after that. There is tough time for Chelsea, cuz it's obvius that they lack morale.

Btw Referee was a joke.

It is just my theory and do not take it as gospel but I think last season, Arsenal were affected by the loss of Thierry Henry quite badly.

Remember Henry has never been injured during his time at Arsenal prior to last season and they always played to his strength.

I have seen them many times where everyone is always trying to give Henry the chance to score from Ljunberg to Reyes, always looking for Henry

Then all of a sudden he was not there and they probably did not know what to do, Van Persie tried but he got injured for long periods and that affected Arsenal

Dennis Bergkamp was a huge miss

Now there is no Henry and others are taking the mantle and more importantly they are all taking more responsbility and noone lurking in the shadow to disturb the likes of Adebayor and Van Persie.

Yes I think goal scoring problems are over

Interesting point of view...

but when someone like adebayor misses 7 out of 10 one on ones with the keeper..then its hard to attribute it to anything other than bad finishing..his goal scoring record with Monaco wasnt impressive either...i could be wrong though as in the past few matches he is making me eat my words...
