He is a better player than Theo at the moment and always gives his best to the club. His face may not fit but he isnt really the one to blame always.

But to be without 4 of our first choice midfield and striker, and most of them our attacking players then we of course were gonna struggle. Without Hleb and Cesc our ball retention and attack are weakened considerably. On this seasons form theres no team that wouldnt miss those 2.Flamini has been a revelation and his drive was missed most yesterday as both Gilberto and Diarra were anonymous. And when you need a player who can get you a goal from nothing we have been without VanP for a while now and he would have made a differences against boro. Add to this that we have just played 3 games all away and up norf without those linchpins then something was gonna give. Now its time to see if these guys have what it takes to pull it around. The sooner those players are back in the team the better as they are absolutely vital.

Think your being a little harsh on certain players, especially Ade and Eboue.Whilst your right about Ade being frustrating he has scored some important goals for us so far this year. As for Eboue he is definately is a clown but not as bad as you say. As for Gilberto I think he is the kind of player who is good if he is getting a run in the team, if he is just being used now and again he will always be a liability. Let’s hope we pick it up for Chelsea next week, this has highlighted how Hleb is basically our most important player this year. He holds it up and makes the team tick as does Cesc, also missing Flaminis aggression. Let’s not panic though it’s only our first loss( the Sevilla game was irrelevant). Come on you Gunners!!!

Normally I wait a good few hours ’til I start my match report, but today I began writing it as soon Boro scored their second. I didn’t wanna stew over it, just wanted to release the pain while it was still raw.

And a good point about Ade too, he is tryna be too clever these days, he needs to stick to what he’s good at.
