Francesc Fabregas came back from the injury and returned against Bolton at the Reebok Stadium. Immediately Arsenal were a completely different unit. There were as usual more passes, even more now as the skipper is back, a good co-ordination as exhibited by Captain Courageous and naturally the result was favourable.
Fabregas is a sort of a player who would ignite a sense of passion in the ranks of the Gunners whenever he is on the field. A clever one-two with Eduardo meant Arsenal were up and nearly he made it two when Arshavin's pass missed Diaby and settled in Cesc's foot. Unfortunately he wasn't expecting it and the ball went wide.
Right through the 90 minutes, there was a feeling that Bolton would equalise at any moment, thanks to lack of physical strength of the players. That is precisely why Arsene Wenger has recalled Sol Campbell. He is not a manager who re purchases players but this was the need of the hour. Yes Campbell is 35 but he is a strong lad and was a key member of the "Invincibles".
Arsenal would need to make sure they don't concede cheap goals and set pieces and if they do prevent those there is a certain possibility that the title drought will end this season.
