It could be argued that there is no greater Arsenal legend than Michael Thomas, who scored that incredible goal to win the title at Anfield in 1989.
Today he works as an expert, and yesterday he was watching the Arsenal game in Fulham. Thomas was very impressed with the debut of former Chelsea winger Willian, who was heavily involved throughout the match until Pepe replaced him in the 75th minute and believes Chelsea made a big mistake by allowing the Brazilian to move through London in a free transfer. .
“I thought Willian was excellent today both forward and reverse,” Thomas told CaughtOffside. “He brings incredible energy and always works hard, which we have seen him do throughout his Chelsea career, so it was more of the same.
“The two assists only show how experienced he is and that he makes the right decisions most of the time, with the necessary quality. It’s good to see that you haven’t lost your hunger.
“I was very surprised that Chelsea let Willian get into that position where he could go for free, but credit to Arsenal and Arteta for seeing that he still had a lot to offer and closing the deal quickly to bring him in.
“I think one could bite Chelsea again, but I’m not complaining!”
“It was a very confident team performance and the team is finding a real identity under Arteta, which is great to see.”
It bodes well for Arsenal that our two new Brazilians were heavily involved in our first win of the season, and it will give us a huge boost of confidence, but we know there are tougher challenges ahead.
Are we ready for them? I think we are certainly getting there, right?
