We are still waiting for a showing where Petr Cech absolutely commands the game. He has looked good at times but shaky the rest of the time. Now comes the part where we would all really like to see a clean sheet. Maybe toss in some stellar saves as well.

Per Mertesacker has spoken out that it takes some time getting used to a new keeper: “Sometimes it takes longer than you think to get to know a new goalkeeper,” (via the Guardian).

The center backs both admitted to needing some time to get the in-game communications down but it improved game by game and against a rather tame Liverpool attack, our expectations are high. If Arsenal can negate Christrian Benteke then they essentially pull the sharp teeth out of Liverpool’s chompers.
