2-1, Premier League, Carrow Road, 2011-11-19
van Persie 27, 59
Tough, tough game, but three vital points and our fifth win in a row! We played some brilliant attacking football in this game, and really enjoyed the game, even though I'd obviously had preferred it if we sealed the game!
Our captain is absolutely unstoppable at the moment! He is now distancing himself from the rest in the top-scorer's table with twelve goals!
We were unlucky to fall behind in the game when Mertesacker misjudged a situation, but we made our early advantage count when Theo played in a marvellous cross for van Persie to tap in. The Dutchman won the game for us in the second half when Ramsey won the ball, but fell over, so Song jumped over him and played an amazing pass to Robin, who delicately chipped the ball over the 'keeper.
What I really enjoyed about this game was, as I stated earlier, the attacking play that we had. Some really nice free-flowing football was on display and we are picking up from where we left off before the international break.
Injury Update;
-we currently have three full-backs on the sidelines, Gibbs (who recently went through surgery), Jenkinson (who has a stress-fracture), and Sagna (who has a fractured-fibula).
-Ryo Miyaichi has an ankle sprain and will be missing for about a month and a half.
-Chamakh will be back from his knee injury for next weekend.
-There is no chance that Jack will be back before mid January, which is a massive disappointment!
