Gervinho ready to show his worth to Arsenal fans

Gervinho’s Aim by AH

Gervinho has said he aims to be a better player than Robert Pires and that he wants to do it at Arsenal. The Ivorian joined from French Club Lille last season and he had a very mixed first season, with some outstanding performances, whilst at times it was like he was a missing man. But now, Gervinho has come out and said on Arsenal.com, about his wish to emulate Arsenal legend Robert Pires.

Gervinho said; “You should always look at these examples from the past, Robert is a fantastic player, very experienced, and I saw this for myself [when Pires was] training here.

“I really hope to emulate Robert Pires in my second season, hopefully do even better, but I hope to carve out my own niche of course.”

“I hope to push on personally, also to progress with the team and to showcase my qualities. I’ve learnt lots of things, coming to a new club, being new to the Premier League. I’ve learnt to adapt on the pitch and, when I think back, also in front of goal.”

“I really feel that I’ve come on a lot, I feel really good in training and I’m ready for my second season.”

Gervinho really impressed in last season’s pre – season and his looked like the same player he had been in France, but he struggled in the Premier League and got sent off on his competitive debut. His consistency continued to sway, much like in the way Theo Walcott does and it’s important that both players conquer that problem.

Gervinho certainly has talent and I hope that he can show the same kind of form as he did in 2010/2011 with Lille. Gervinho scored just 4 goals in 27 premier league appearances for Arsenal last season.

“I’m fully aware of that and I’ll have to give even more and raise the bar even higher after my first season here, I’m up for the challenge, I’ve got lots of confidence in my own ability and I know I’ve got to keep up my standards.”

“I may have to change the way I play, mix up my game a bit, but as I said, I’ve learnt and can take a lot from my first season. I’ll relish the challenge and I really want to show the Club and the fans what I can do this year.”

Good words from Gervinho and let’s hope that the winger can reach his goal, whilst scoring a goal or two for us along the way……

Cazorla and Gervinho bright sparks in frustrating draw

Posted on August 20, 2012 by admin

THOUGHTS ON THE SUNDERLAND GAME by AH

Well, where do we start? The game was full of negatives and positives, all of which we can take away, notify the problems and hopefully fix any issues that there may be. But overall admittedly it wasn’t the best of opening games but at least we drew and gained a point. Now of course a draw isn’t good enough and we should have done much better, we probably deserved much better from that game, but fair play to Sunderland, who defended their hearts out.

Sunderland came for a draw and that’s what they got, so they will be very happy with it, and although the result may be a disappointment for us, we must look at the positives.

It’s a new team after all, still gelling together and with even more potential signings on their way, things still look bright.
Cazorla and Gervinho had great games in my opinion, with Cazorla being the stand out player of the game.
We also didn’t concede, which is a massive boost for our defence, whom admittedly before kickoff looked rather weak, but the defence held together and defended well, with Sunderland’s only real chances coming very early on and in the dying minutes of the game.
But clearly the biggest problem was our finishing. We lacked the cutting edge with just 3 shots on target from an attempted 23 tell us the story.

Next week we face Stoke which is never an easy game, especially at the Britannia Stadium. The Potters have Dean Whitehead suspended for the game. Let’s hope that come next Monday we have 4 points on the Premier League table.

Gervinho, Ramsey and Coquelin could surprise Arsenal fans this season

Posted on August 08, 2012 by admin

Who to watch out for next season? by KJ

As I write this article, Arsenal have just touched down in Germany with the possibility of our newest signing, Santi Cazorla walking off that plane. What an exciting prospect this is. To watch our new Spaniard in action on the weekend is just breath-taking. However, nothing is confirmed yet so let’s remain grounded but one thing is certain, Cazorla is definitely an Arsenal player.

This article is more focussed on analysing the players we already have, the players I believe will have an outstanding season for the Gunners.
The first one is the controversial, Aaron Ramsey. Many Arsenal fans think his career is over in the red and white but I think that statement couldn’t be further from the truth. He is still the quality player we signed and his performances during the Olympics have proven that with a bit of rest, he will return to his best. Although he didn’t score many goals or made many assists, he dictated the tempo of the game. He slowed it down when needed and also was always making himself available for the next pass, essentially something Xavi would do. I’m not comparing the two as it would be ridiculous but it would be great to have a player in that type of mould. Make sure to keep a watch out for the Welshman, there is still a lot to come from someone still so young.

The next one is our only Ivorian, Gervinho. He was signed last summer from then Ligue 1 champions Lille. It was a great purchase on Wenger’s behalf as he was tearing up Ligue 1 with ease and added the directness that the team seemed to lack during the 2010/2011 season. He started off quite brightly in Europe with a crucial goal against Udinese in Italy. His league form was a bit iffy with a red card in his first match against Newcastle but he slowly steadied into the team and managed to get a crucial assist against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. He was doing well with 4 goals and 5 assists during the first half of the season. However, his season was interrupted by the African cup of Nations where he missed a crucial penalty that would secure the cup for Ivory Coast. His confidence took a massive knock and since then, he only managed one assist (against Aston Villa). It’s clear that Gervinho is a confidence player and needs to know that he is appreciated by both the manager and the fans. I personally think he is. We all love the fact that he has a massive work rate and is constantly doing the defensive dirty work when both Gibbs and Santos maraud forwards. We also enjoy his unpredictability which allows him to constantly take on defenders like Oxlade – Chamberlain does.

The final player that will surprise us next season is Coquelin. This is a bit of surprise to many as he doesn’t seem to be in Wenger’s immediate plans but I’d disagree with that sentiment. Not only is at the prime age to start muscling his way into the starting 11 but he’s also very hungry for game time and will do whatever he can to get this at Arsenal. He is a class player who exibits a great temperament for someone so young. At only 21, he is the same age as M’Vila and you can see reasoning behind Wenger going cold on Yann.

We are looking very solid at the moment with our 3 new signings but we can still expect some surprises with the current squad!
