Arsenal 7 - 1 Blackburn
Hey y’all.
So, I started an Arsenal blog. If you’re a fan your follow would be mighty appreciated. Mostly Match Reviews and WORDS.
This was a result that everyone involved with Arsenal needed.
The fans needed a commanding performance to lift their spirits. The team needed to shake off some unfortunate results and get back on track, and shake they did.
I was watching this game from the comfort of my living room in Ottawa, Ontario. I had a feeling coming into it that this would be a special game. The last time I had to wake up for an 8AM kick off we came from behind to defeat Chelsea 5-3 away. Perhaps I was really just hoping that the game would be entertaining so that I could stay awake - I had only got to sleep at 3AM the night before. But I digress, to the game!
There were a few changes from the squad that faced Bolton only 3 days prior. Aaron Ramsey made way to Tomasz Rosicky, while Francis Coquelin filled in for Bacary Sagna who is still vying for full fitness after returning from injury. I was glad to see Rosicky chosen over Ramsey as I feel that Aaron has been slipping in form lately. The Sagna replacement suggests to me that 2 starts in 4 days proved to be just too much for the exceptional right back. Coquelin did not disappoint and played very well in the position. He and Theo provided a terror to the Blackburn defense.
