Look at the first goal. An emphatic finish by Gervinho. He gets back the ball and then there is only one thought in his mind. What a change from the Arsenal Gervinho who twists and twirls into a pretzel and then falls flat in a comedic coda. That left channel was electric and it led to Yaya Toure's sublime goal. And Gervinho provided, what is this, a perfectly weighted pass at the right time, to Didier Konan for Ivory Coast's third and final goal.
Are we seeing multiple personalities? Does Gervinho have a decisive, forthright, alter ego who provides a full stop to his undoubted talent? If so, we need Arsenal Gervinho = Ivory Coast Gervinho. Please merge.
