Our latest League Cup campaign is under way and we've beaten West Brom 2 nil. We started with our typical mix of youngsters and out of favor seniors. Szjenxxy7p started in goal and made a few good saves. Gibbs played at left back, Karrea Gilbert played at right back and the Silvestre-Senderos super team held it down in the middle. I'm not sure what Karrea Gilbert has been up to but the last thing I remember seeing him do was set up a goal for Henry at Highbury. I think he went out on loan somewhere since then and evidently he's back. I'm not sure how he played as I only saw the highlights but I'm sure we'll see him in future rounds.
The middle 3 was made up of Coquelin, Ramsey and Wilshere and the front dudes were Sunu, Traore flanking Watt. From the highlights it seems like West Brom were doing quite well, creating chances and forcing a couple of saves out of young keeper. We were getting forward too and Watt hit the post when he maybe should have scored. Then Jerome Thomas shoved Wilshere in the face and was sent off. The ref really had no choice and it seems to me that it was all fairly innocuous and then Thomas really put his team in it when he pushed little Jack's face.
In the second half Wenger put on Vela and Randall and it seems that they turned the game. Vela did the exact same thing for Mexico as they won the Gold Cup in the summer. I'm glad to see him back as he'll be very useful in our new look formation.
On 68 minutes Vela spun his maker, sidestepped a couple of defenders and fired a shot from the edge of the box. Keily could only parry it to Watt who scored an easy goal. 8 minutes later Vela scored himself after an awesome chip by Randall, which seemed to come out of nowhere. A West Brom defender tried chest it down to Keily and completely fucked it up, letting Vela sneak in and hit home for our second.
We're on to our next round and will hopefully be embarking on a nice long run. In other slightly Arsenal related news Sol Campbell is leaving Knotts County after 1 game. Who knows what he was doing there in the first place, maybe he had an eye on management, but he's now wondering in the cold without a club. Who knows what's going on with him but he's had his personal problems in the past and I hope he sorts it all out. It's hard to feel bad for someone who's just walked away from 10 million pounds but he was a legend for us and is only now being somewhat replaced by Vermaelen.
Right then, catch you later
