Arshavin's performance against Partizan Belgrade was very exciting for me. He was the player who I thought we would witness much more since his record signing. He was getting involved and creating chance after chance
I still think we should get in Mr brute from non league football, sign him on a pay as you play basis and stick him on the bench. When players like Mr Robinson decide to make their 'I'm not one of those players' challenges then Mr Brute's tactical instructions from Pat Rice will be to go and say a friendly hello to good old Robbo. Take the punishment and come back in three games time. Thinking about it, we may need to buy three of them so that they can rotate
I just had a horrible vision of John Terry elbowing him in his ribs when jumping for a cross. I cannot stand that man with a passion. A Chelsea mate of mine doesn't even like him one bit and that just says all you need to know about his character.
I hope Chamakh pulls him all over the place on Sunday afternoon, gets away from Terry after a through pass from Cesc and makes the despicable piece of work pull him down in the box
Fabianski wasn't finished there as he denied Iliev's effort from point blank range in stoppage time. That save along with the penalty save made a big difference to the outcome of the game
Denilson who was majestic in the Carling Cup could well be drafted back into the defensive midfield position which will hopefully allow us to dictate the tempo of game better, while adding better positional sense
I am hoping that he can put in a good performance and ease some of the huge pressure building up from the summer. This was always going to happen, as soon as a new goalkeeper did not find his way into the club we were always going to find ourselves in this position
I did not for one minute expect Almunia to go through the entire season without making a mistake. I am sure the managers of Reina, Hart and Mark Schwarzer to name a few were not expecting perfection either. Mistakes will happen
It would be interesting to see how he does in that role with better players around him. Jack may not get his chance as he played the full game on Tuesday including the extra time. Wenger has to also decide who should start as the second midfielder
I was reading an interesting discussion on another blog about what actually constitutes success, there was most certainly a split camp. I think we have been successful minus trophies considering all the obstacles and disadvantages we have had to face
Cesc of the Fabregas may also not be out for as long as first expected, he may be kept wrapped up in cotton wool for the clash against bottom team beating Chelsea. Ideally we need our captain fit for such an important game, he is the difference between turning a draw into a victory or a defeat into a draw
