Podolski hasn't even been the best player for Arsenal over the first four games, let alone the league. Not saying he hasn't been great, because he obviously has. But for me Cazorla and probably even Arteta have had more of an influence on our decent start.
Really surprised with how good his all round game is though, i basically expected a left footed Theo with a rocket left foot. His work rate is the best i've ever seen from an Arsenal forward and his interplay and one touch passing with Cazorla has been extremely encouraging, especially because they've only played 5 games together.
Was nice to see Gervinho play well through the middle as well. Would have rathered Giroud start to get him off the mark against a rubbish opposition but I guess Wenger was getting him ready for Montpellier on tuesday.
Hard to read too much into the performance as a whole, Southampton were pretty fckn average, obviously we didn't let them get settled but not going to get my hopes up just yet.
If we manage to get 4-6 points from City and Chelsea then maybe i'll start to dream.
