News + pics update
You can view a video of Cesc’s post match comments (van persie was also there) here. Looool. I couldn’t help but laugh at how the interviewer pronounced cesc’s name.^^
Cesc also said that he could improve on that performance:
“Because I am scoring it looks like I am playing better, but I don’t look at it like this.Maybe in other years I was getting in the same position but I wasn’t scoring.I don’t think I was at my best against Wolves but because I scored a goal it looks different.I know how to measure my performance and what I have to improve on.”
In other news, Cesc stated that he believes being handed the captaincy has not changed him.
“The captaincy hasn’t changed me at all.My team-mates have done a great job for me as well, to be honest.They showed me they believe and help me with everything.There has never been any trouble so I am very happy with how things are going.
The issue with William is gone for us.We don’t think about it anymore and are happy with the way things are going at the moment. The dressing room has always been really together and kept believing.Even if we didn’t win anything last year, we were really close and in all the competitions right until the end. So the mood in the dressing room is always really positive.”
Do you think the captaincy has changed Cesc in any way?
Cesc also revealed that the Arsenal players are worried about their free scoring play coming to an end. :
“We do worry about the goals coming to an end. We talk about what will happen if they stop.It is great when we are scoring so many goals and we have a threat all over the team, but we know that we have to keep that right the way through.
There is no point scoring goals like we are until December and then it ends. That will not win the title.So the fear that the run will come to an end is keeping us focused because we want to win the title and we know we have to carry on.”
I’ve wondered about this as well. Do you think that Arsenal can maintain scoring lots of goals throughout the rest of this season?
And so more comments from Cesc that I found on the arsenal website:
“We don’t look at ‘The Invincibles’ or whatever the name was.“We are Arsenal and a young team who are trying to do our best.There will be a time when we cannot score goals and everyone will say there is a crisis. We just have to keep going being ourselves and play at 100 per cent.We are scoring goals but we have to be ready because one day it will not happen like that and be not so easy. We will have to be patient and it is in that moment where we have to be strong.
Finally, Cesc (and several other captains) has put up his armband for auction for The Willow Foundation.More info here.
I have also added some more pictures of Cesc at the Wolves match in the latest photos section.

It’s really sad that RVP could be out injured for two months.
(It says it on yahoo)
I think RVP and Cesc play really well together and now that cesc is scoring, rvp is getting lots of assists. We have to win a trophy this season!!!

I think Arsenal can maintain and win a trophy, well I have to believe that. I think Cesc, RVP, Song and others are playing the best football they ever have right now. It’s all about keeping key player fit but there are so many injured players that will be coming back soon. It’s just ashame that when players come back, other players get injured. But I think Arsenal will cope this season.

^^^
I think the key is to stop conceeding so many goals, especially late on in matches. At the end of the day the title race could be really really close this season; and if it comes down to goal difference Arsenal could be in trouble if they keep giving away silly goals.
