Another player that has impressed everyone is Kieran Gibbs, the elusive and often frustrating left-back. The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 international was understood to be the long term replacement for Gael Clichy, but his questionable injury record proved to be a problem for
the club.
Gibbs showed signs of promise and brilliance whenever he played, but he was always troubled by recurring injuries. However, this season, he really has come alive.
The player has been consistently effective on the left hand side, and has formed an excellent partnership with Lukas Podolski. Though there is still work to be done on his forward play, Gibbs possesses remarkable pace and strength, and is a solid tackler
of the ball. If Arsenal can manage to keep their back four free from injuries, it’ll really help their title chances.

The German international has been a revelation ever since he joined the club during the summer. The prolific German international has been immense, working hard on the left flank.
Podolski gives an added dimension to the Arsenal forward line; he brings pace, strength and a sort of effective directness the club lacked for quite a while. Podolski has a ferocious left foot which is sure to sting the palms of any goalkeeper. He is also
very capable of scoring from direct set pieces, as he demonstrated against Southampton.
The former Cologne player is not afraid to take on defenders, and has very quickly adapted to the physical demands of the league. His directness and aggressive approach make him a very dangerous player.

The Spaniard was arguably one of the club’s best players last season, and continues to impress again with his solid leadership and composure on the ball. Arteta has had to curb his attacking instincts after Song’s exit, but has made that defensive midfield
role his own. He shows exactly why you don’t need to be a tall or physical player to play in that position. Arteta’s excellent distribution and tackling have helped Arsenal dominate the possession and passing stats in the league.
Arteta commands the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 midfield and has notched up an astounding 93.8 % pass completion rate. The player is one of Arsenal’s unsung heroes, and for me one of the most underrated players in the league.
Santi Cazorla
Finally, we move on to Santi Cazorla, the signing of the summer so far. The player has been an absolute gem to watch as he orchestrates attack after attack for Arsenal.
His two-footedness make him very unpredictable, and he has the vision to create chances out of virtually nothing. The player has been the best Arsenal player as far as stats go, and has formed an excellent partnership with Arteta in the heart of the Gunner’s
midfield.
Cazorla is also a long range goal scorer, as he demonstrated with that unreal goal against West Ham. The player can operate anywhere in the midfield, and his versatility make him even more dangerous. For someone standing in at a height of 5’6, Cazorla has
been colossal.
He has adjusted to the physical requirements of the Premier League, and has truly filled the void that was left by Cesc Fabregas’ exit. His ability to glide past defenders and keep possession will truly help Arsenal’s quest for silverware.
His arrival has also helped improve the performance of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jack-Wilshere-c17463.
