2 Wins, 1 disaster, 1 redemption

Post the double defeats in Manchester over the last 3 weeks, Arsenal went to Belgium, fell behind to 2-0 after 5 minutes against Standard Liege, played horribly, but managed to win 3-2, 1 good Bendtner goal, two other scrappy and questionable goals. A win is a win, but it is a glimpse of prospective poor performances this side is capable of. Not to be focussed from the first whistle is a sin on both the trainer and the players. Against stronger and more mindful opponents, there will be no way back.

I won't do match ratings for that match, as all of them were rotten.

Today, 4-0 win over Wigan, first clean sheet of the season, long may it continue.

Mannone 5, Sagna 5, Gallas 6, Vermaelen 7, Clichy 5, Song 4, Fabregas 5, Diaby 5, Eboue 5, Eduardo 5, Van Persie 4, Bendtner 5.
