Alex Song: Arsenal's Midfield General
“Are Arsenal a one man team?†is a question that has been echoed by fans and journalists across the country so far this season in response to Robin Van Persie’s astonishing goal return for the Gunners
Much has been made about the positive defensive influence that Thomas Vermaelen brings to the side, and rightly so, however, the impact that Alexander Song has had on the team’s recent good form should not, be overlooked.
In Fabregas’ absence, Arsenal now lack a “key player†in the midfield, this is not however a bad thing as the loss of the talismanic figure has led to a redistribution of responsibility across the three central midfielders. Ramsay and Arteta are now the more advanced of the three, with Song more disciplined behind them looking to start Arsenal’s attacks and break up the opposition’s play. The change in Song’s game style can be seen from the below passing stats comparing passes attempted in this and last season’s home fixtures against West Bromwich Albion.
Now, not only is Song attempting and completing more passes (showing a greater influence in the game), but he is also making the majority of them from deeper positions. In the 2010 fixture he made five passes in or around the penalty area, whilst in this season’s tie he barely made a pass in the attacking third.
Song showed this maturity in the recent game against Dortmund where he was the joint highest tackler and made the most interceptions. Song has five league assists so far this season including in vital matches such as the 5-3 win over Chelsea, the 2-1 win over Norwich and the recent 1-0 win over Everton.
