An Andrey Arshavin inspired Arsenal side marched into the Carling Cup Quarter Finals with South Korean Park Choo Young netting his first goal for the Gunners.Positives:
Arshavin was fantastic all night and is finally re-demonstrating the form we saw during his four goal rout at Anfield, and cracker at Old Trafford. The Russian led from the front and looked brilliant in a central role just off the main striker.
Park's first goal for the club was sublime and had a touch of Thierry Henry about it in the way he cut in off the left flank and the bent the ball into the far corner. Meanwhile in midfield, Alex Oxlade Chamberlain looked assured in possession once more and was always a threat going forward.
Negatives:
A lapse in concentration saw us fail to keep a clean sheet at home once more. This is something we must work on in all competitions.
Conclusion:
With a very impressive record in the Carling Cup in recent years, our path to the final this year is looking more and more likely as the rounds go on. There is alot of quality in our youth players and let's hope we carry on with this rich vein of form in the competition as we look to end our long wait for a trophy.
