| Dear Arsenal Supporter, It is always difficult to win at Ewood Park but I felt that we had a good start on Saturday and scored a great goal. Soon after our first goal, in my opinion, we were a bit too nervous in dealing with Blackburn's game. However, in the second half I felt we were calmer, put the ball on the ground well and controlled the game much better. Of course, in the last 15 or 20 minutes you can always be tested and need a bit of luck, but we had the right resilience and commitment and the longer that we didn't score that third goal, we were always under threat with a team like Blackburn. As you saw on Saturday, the players are all very committed. I also believe experience brings you calm in the box, defensively and offensively and that is where we have a little bit more experience, even if on one or two occasions on Saturday we were a lit lucky. But who would not be unsettled by the kind of game Blackburn gave us? Theo Walcott scored our first goal after a hat-trick against Blackpool the week before and on Saturday it was another clinical finish. You judge a player by the numbers; the goals he scores, the assists when he is a striker and his numbers are already very, very good. It looks like he is more confident and has moved forward. Cesc Fabregas made his first start of the season and he showed that he has class even though he is not completely match fit yet. I always planned to play him for an hour and I left him on for a little longer. By the time we play Bolton, Cesc should be ready to play. Thanks for your support.  Arsène Wenger |
