Many EPL supporters last night in Malaysia stayed in front of television to watch the EPL games, mostly between Liverpool - Arsenal and Southampton - Manchester United. And of course, the most highlighted person last nigh must be Arsene Wenger. Why? His two new major signings; Lukas Podolski and Santi Cazorla delivered a goals each one of them after two frustrated opening game. It was only Arsenal from EPL big names has yet to conceded a goal (the other team was only Swansea) after 3 matches, a club record for 88 years. And what was more interesting is the clean sheet was made by 3rd choice goalkeeper, Vito Mannone (another Italian Job). And on top of that, it was ex-Arsenal skipper, non other than the Arsene's trusted forward Robin van Persie scored his first hat trick for Manchester United.
Watching Liverpool against Arsenal always make me excited. These two clubs have their own history, legendary players, amazing loyal fans in this entire planet, and the present of bunch of talented players.Of course, my choice is always The Gunners. And last night they delivered what was a so-called 'Their Most Excited Win' in two years. Mannone has shown that he is eligible to fight for 1st choice keeper. The defenders line was the best ever performance, with Carl Jeckinson now has matured compared to last year when they lost 2-8 to MU (the scar still there). To control a 17 years old pacy winger (Raheem Sterling) is not an easy task. Mertesacker mark his comeback with his trademark; not even one cross ball arrived in front of goal post. Vermaelen, as always, prove to us that he deserved the Captain armband and a nickname Verminator. Most impressive, Gibbs who keep Suarez frustrated. In the center of the pitch, Diaby was a man can replace Song with his doggy performance. Arteta and Cazorla became more dangerous with their understanding performance. While Oxlade-Chamberlain shown to us why Wenger need him so badly last season and why he deserved a place in Euro 2012 squad. Podolski has shut the negative comments against him with his first goal for Arsenal. The only thing need to improve is Giroud. But this is only 3 games. Last season, Arsenal was worse than last night. Yet they still finished at 3rd place. So, maybe this year they can bring at least one trophy to Emirates, based on their current performance. Who know?
