    2 shockers in a row from Bendtner, then far far worse from Van Persie. He's worryingly out of form.

    I really hope he scores tonight to try get some confidence back. Looks like he should have a few chances tonight...

    If ever a player needed a goal it's van Persie. Walcott too.

    Bendtner looks like he's having his version of a confidence crisis also; that is to say that his confidence has dropped all the way down to the level of a normal person.

    very hard to judge anything from this match. Twente are hopeless, really awful.

    the positives i've taken so far at least are Walcott; it's the first time i've really gotten a chance to look at him this season. he looks sharper than i've seen him before, really capitalizing on Twente's mistakes better than the rest. he needs to be a bit more selfish in front of goal though.

    Denilson as well has sort of impressed me (sort of). his positioning and running are good. if only he'd stop trying to take too much out of the ball when he's got it. And he'll certainly have to be a bit more aggressive if he is to succeed in the Prem, but i'm hopeful that'll come in time.

    the fact Nasri's the only one who can finish though is really worrying. there are going to plenty more games like this to come imo.

    FC Twente are so so bad. The game is boring because of it.

    lol, Gallas. Gallas and Nasri top scorers so far this season with 2 each.

    Nasri better be ok.

    Gallas sniffing around the 6 yard box for rebounds. How odd.

    Hard to take anything out of that game, apart from the fact that FC Twente are awful and McLaren sucks.

    Apparently Mclaren was how you say "gutted" at full-time.

    The opposition were poor, but at least its a decent win and will hopefully raise confidence before the Newcastle match which was badly needed.
    Another good thing to take out of it was Walcotts performance even though the LB was sh!te he still roasted him scored a goal and set up another. Can only be good for him as he has had a disappointimg start to the season.

    Nasri was great again.
    Decent performance and much needed after the Fulham game.
