Gunners encouraged by Watford win
More importantly the 6ft 1 inch tall Xhaka brings something different to an Arsenal midfield characterised by short-passing short men such as Jack Wilshere, Santi Cazorla and Aaron Ramsey.

The first goal came from the penalty after Alexis Sanchez was fouled by Nordin Amrabat as he tried to latch onto a Mesut Ozil clip towards the back post as the Chilean peeled away from the trio of Watford centre-halves.
Following the win, Wenger admitted his relief but stressed that his players fitness levels will get better. But of course we need him.
” Watford went for it absolutely because we couldn’t score the fourth goal and because we dropped physically and I think that we win games here but they are physically very strong, very determined”.
Arsenal take on Watford at Vicarage road in the third round of Premier League fixtures and in his pre-match press conference, Arsene Wenger provided injury updates on his team and spoke about the opposition.
“Cech played incredible for them, saved a goal two or three times but I am very happy with how our team played”.
“I believe he has a good mixture of short and long balls”.
“We paid a heavy price in our first game (the 4-3 defeat to Liverpool) because we were not ready, we had not the players back at home”.
It sparked Watford into some sort of life and they went close again as Christian Kabasele, on his Premier League debut, headed wide Etienne Capoue’s corner.
“We needed to respond after the first two games and got the vital three points”.
The pressure had been on Wenger and his side heading into the weekend after flawless starts from both Manchester clubs had left them playing catch-up.
Asked about how good Ozil’s performance was, Wenger replied: “Especially in the first half”.
Incoming Arsenal signing Shkodran Mustafi will see his transfer to the Premier League giants officially confirmed on Tuesday while he has already spoken about his move to the Gunners.
Arsenal did not look like a fearful side though in the opening stages as they dominated possession in a confident manner.
