Players Should not become Complacent After Newcastle Victory

Arsenal completely outclassed Newcastle yesterday by 3-0. Many websites and newspapers have praised Arsene Wenger boys a lot for this amazing victory. Let me give you some headlines from some Arsenal blogs:

Three goals, clean sheet, three points. Lovely.

Black and white convicts dispatched

Given Heroics Unable to Stop Rampant Gunners

Well, I am not that much impressed with yesterday’s victory for three reasons. Firstly, Arsenal played the match at home at the Emirates Stadium in front of its own supporters. The club is always good at home. Secondly, Newcastle threatened them quite a few times. I agree that Arsenal should have got some more goals but I could not see the killer instinct among the players. This is much needed to win both at England in Europe.

Team effort was good and at times, there were vintage Arsenal attacks. This is the best thing that has come from this game- team effort. However, I just wish that Arsenal players don’t become complacent because of the praise of the media and fans. Instead, they should focus on the next game against Blackburn. That one will be an away match and they must not repeat the performance of last week.
