Vela, should he be starting every match?

This question has been asked many times, should Carlos Vela be in the starting line up. Well yes he should.

Since playing officially for Arsenal Carlos Vela has had made twenty appearances nine in the premier league five in the cup (FA Cup and Carling cup) and six in Europe. Altogether he has made twenty appearances and has scored four goals, all of these in the cup, three of these against Sheffield United.

Vela has a very powerful left foot and also a footballers mind. He is never scared to run at defenders and more importantly isn’t scared of taking shots anywhere. He has a good pace and is strong against people which is important on the wing. Vela can cross the ball very well.

Against Cardiff on Monday Vela played on the left wing and shone. He set up Eduardo’s first goal on the night by making a clever chip cross into the box. Also he made some very clever runs on the break. One of these was when Eduardo made a cross ball over to Vela who ran at the defence and shot. The shot was so hard that the goalie wasn’t able to hold onto it.

 Over other games Wenger has tried playing him upfront but hasn’t shone. He is classified as a striker but when he plays upfront he moves to the left wing. This seems to be where he fills comfortable to play.

Overall he should be starting on the wing for these reasons.

Eduardo strikes twice after one year out

Eduardo came back tonight hoping to leave a good impression with the fans and he did he scored two goals.

 

Bendtner won a ball in the centre of the park and then played it to Vela who crossed it in and Bendtner leaped up and headed it just wide. Bendtner who was running the game so far passes it to Eduardo in our half who played an amazing long ball to Vela, who ran at the defenders and shot and blocked.

 

Eduardo who had just came back from injury showed he had the right mind with a shock shot from the halfway line.

 

Arsenal broke Cardiff’s attack with Eduardo who ran up the pitch, passed it on the wing to vela who played a chip cross into the middle. Eduardo was unmarked and GOAL!! Eduardo headers it into the back of the net. What a start after his injury.

 

The corner came in and Bendtner leaped into the air and GOAL!! Bendtner flick the ball passed Heaton.

 

The second half started lively with Arsenal pressuring Cardiff from the start. The first 10 minuets were very quite with not many chances for either side. Cardiff for the next 6 minutes pressured Arsenal with there best chance a thirty yard shoot from Bothroyd which was comfortably stooped by Fabianski.

 

 Then Bendtner pushed the ball forward and fell in the area, no penalty. Then a minute later Eduardo was in the area and was tripped up.  Penalty. Only one person to take it Eduardo. He stepped up and GOAL!! His second goal of the night. Not much happened after that with Arsenal with all the possession and some shots that went wide. Late on in the match Cardiff had a claim for a penalty.  

 

From know where Bendtner won the ball and slotted it through to Van Persie and GOAL!! Van Persie after coming on scored with his weaker foot.  Very late on in the match Van Persie hit the post. The final whistle blew and Arsenal cruised through to the next round.
