Thursday Roundup / Hleb 4 Life / Rotation

I think we miss that electric pace and ability than can turn tight matches. Henry, Anelka and even Wrighty before them had
Alex Hleb started the match on the left wing with Emmanuel Eboue coming in on the right hand wing. Hleb is more effective on the left hand side of the pitch. He drives inside and can use his eye of the needle passing alot easier from that area.
Aleksandr Hleb will have a fitness test on his knee that Marc Noble decided to give him at West Ham. Unfortunately Hleb is not our only concern. Emmanuel Adebayor (thigh), Abou Diaby (ankle) and Mathieu Flamini (groin) all have to be assessed
Err *holds hand up in the air* can I say something? Since when is our club used as some sort of project to help other countries?
He has been playing in the Essien/Gattuso mould charging up and down the pitch winning tackles making blocks and fighting for the team.
Spurs pass the ball maybe we can use them as our feeder club because lets face it, they are not a big club who will challenge for anything are they?
Arsene had some decisions to make before the game. Hleb was back in the team and Arsene could have played him on the left wing and drafted in Eboue on the right but Arsene decided to go with continuity and keep Diaby on the left wing after his blockbuster last weekend against Derby.

There is alot of negative talk about Gilberto at the moment and that does not sit with me very well. He was arguably our most influential player last season
