Losing against rivals, Tottenham Hotspurs and Manchester United in the first 5 games, Wenger has certainly made strides by injecting a newfound enthusiasm in the team and Wenger showed his midas touch by ensuring a steady run of results and at the same Robin Van Persie's form should be attributed to Wenger's dilligence and tactics to make him the squad's lone striker.
Arsenal captain, Robin Van Persie has been the man to watch as his 11 goals in the Premier League has been vital towards the team's growth. He may be the lone striker but he has ample ammunition from Ivory Coast's tricky winger, Gervais Yao Kaossi or fondly known as Gervinho and English speedster, Theo Walcott. Gervinho who seems to have hit off with Van Persie but he needs to improve on his finishing.
Robin Van Persie will have to be at his best for every game as Arsenal certainly needs his presence up front. I wasn't a fan of him once, but who needs Batman, when we've got Robin! His awareness, finishing and movement has improved and the captain's armband has given him that extra impetus to bang in the goals.
Arsenal's defense has also improved as Per Mertesacker's presence has helped shore up the defence. With Thomas Vermaelen returning, Wenger has the luxury of choosing three top class central defenders. Laurent Koscielny has improved considerably after his harrowing performance against Manchester United. With all three defenders hitting form, Wenger will surely ticker with his defense.
Carl Jenkinson, Arsenal 19 year old right back seems to be improving every game but we still do miss Bakary Sagna's presence. He may have impressed in yesterday's game, but the youngster still needs more time and games to be called a reliable right back. He is still young and I'm sure Wenger will do his trick in molding this young English lad.
Without a doubt,the new signings have gelled with their teammates as Andre Santos, Mikel Arteta and Per Mertesacker have been pivotal towards the team's steady run. Andre Santos has given the attack a new lease of life but he needs to improve on his defending if he is to be called a great signing. Mikel Arteta, might be 29, but he is using his experience to good use as his passing and tactical awareness has helped Wenger's side to move.
As for Alex Oxlade Chamberlain, Park Chu Young and Yossi Benayoun, they may have played sporadically but they have impressed in their appearances.
These players have contributed much to the team but one man who deserves the credit and accolades is Monsier Wenger himself. Having been riled by the media after their shocking start to the season, Wenger has improved the squad's morale and their win against Chelsea showed that team has put their stuttering start aside.
I've always felt that Wenger should have used 4-4-2 but his insistence on sticking to his tactics has paid off brilliantly!Wins against Chelsea and West Bromwich Albion showed that the 60 year old manager still has it and will do what it takes to improve the emirates side.
The sun is shining bright at Emirates and Arsenal fans will surely usher a new beginning for their beloved squad. This mini revival would surely be the right tonic for the squad as the team will mount a serious challenge for all the titles!
In Arsenal I Believe, In Wenger I trust!
