What We Learn from Arsenal vs Bolton

Arsenal smashed Bolton 3-0 in the Emirates Stadium, with Robin van Persie's two goals made him reach his 100th Arsenal goal, and Alex Song's cool finishing nearing the end of the match. Arsenal was decent on the first half, unable to control the match completely, but the second half was Arsenal's full domination, and they were able to score three goals.

1. Arsenal slowly regains their confidence
On the first half Arsenal players seems a little bit lacking of confidence. However, after Arsenal scored a goal, the players looks had more self belief than in the first half. Aaron Ramsey and Mikel Arteta became double playmaker on the Gunners' midfield, while RvP, Gervinho, and Walcott dynamical off the ball movement tears Bolton's defence. Alex Song looks very comfortable helping the offense; Laurent Koscielny and Per Mertesacker weren't shy to move forward. It's the Arsenal we expected to see.

It might be the second match Arsenal won this season on the Premier League, but this is the first time Arsenal really dominated the game. The win against Swansea was very unconvincing, and Arsenal could've easily dropped two points, but on this match, the passing game Arsenal has been famous for was shown again in this game. It was a very entertaining passing-game.

However, Arsenal should also be able to play like this against 11-man stronger opponent.

2. Mikel Arteta and Aaron Ramsey are good playmakers, and they could replace Cesc-Nasri
Both of them actually had shown a great performance last week against Blackburn. However, their brilliance overshadowed by the poor defending by Arsenal. Both Ramsey and Arteta has shown a great understanding. Ramsey and Arteta dictated the play, and Arsenal got plenty of chances to score a goal. If it hadn't been Jaaskelainen who was in the goal, Arsenal would've scored five or six goals. If they continued playing like this, injured Jack Wilshere could find it hard to find himself in the line up, when he come back, and he will need to prove himself before he could back to the Starting Eleven.

3. Alex Song is offensively getting better and better.
Alex Song was a flop last week but this time he was one of the tops of the match, alongside Robin van Persie and Theo Walcott. While defensively he is untested, he played very well in his team's offense. His passing was great. He was unlucky not to name himself on the assist list. Two times he made a brilliant passes to Theo Walcott. One was disrupted by David Wheater, who recieved a marching order, fault on Walcott, and the other one, Walcott just couldn't beat Jaaskelainen 1-on-1. Alex Song finally named himself on the scoresheet, with a very good finish, fainting Bolton defender, and smashed the ball to the right to beat Jaaskelainen
