Arsenal very much back on track?

Arsene Wenger feels
that after a shaky opening his team is very much back on track.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger hopes Robin van Persie's ankle
injury is not serious after the Dutchman limped out of Saturday evening's 3-0
win against Newcastle United.

Van Persie, who scored the first two goals in the
comfortable victory before Denilson added a third, will have an X-ray to
determine the extent of the problem.

Wenger said: "We
do not know yet. He has to have an X-ray on his ankle. Hopefully nothing is broken.

"He is the link
between the midfield and the strikers, which is very important in the game we
want to play.

"Robin showed
that when he is good shape physically, he is a very important player for
us."

Of his side's display against Kevin Keegan's side, Wenger
added: "I am very pleased with the
performance, both offensively and defensively. It was a complete one, there was
great balance in the team, with movement.

"Apart from at
the start of the second half, we were always in control and played the game we
love, and showed the way we can play.

"The improvement
comes from a completely different attitude. We showed that against Twente and
did it again tonight.

"The Fulham match
had come at the start of the season after difficult games, including one away
in the Champions League and maybe we were not ready mentally."

Are Arsenal back to their brilliant best or is still a lot
work to be done?
