The departure of Thierry Henry was a huge setback for the gunners. Everyone thought Arsenal is finished. But the more enthusiastic players like Fabregas and Theo Walcott have proved it wrong.
Arsenal is standing ahead of every team in this season. The dominating win against Derby County gave much pleasure to the fans and they certainly enjoyed it. This boosted both the team morale and fan support. Emmanuel's hat-trick was huge for the team. But the question still remains-- is Emmanuel Adebayor as dependable as Thierry Henry? He is a good striker and performed very well against Derby County. But he has a tendency to miss many opportunities to score and even in the crucial moments and this proves that he is not dependable all the time.
On the other hand, it is known that the gunners tend to lose their temperament in the long run which means that the dominating wins now can eventually turn out to be dreadful losses and this might be a reason Arsenal may fail to get any title this year.
