I don't think it is the points difference that is the problem because that can be turned around pretty easily over the course of a long season, it is the fact that we have played against pretty average or poor teams overall and have lost 3 games
I expect our customary square pegger to be Denilson on the right to add some bite to the midfield and Cesc partnering Song once again in the center
Arsene may adopt a physical and tall side to counter the longer game from Stoke City. Alex Song could come in alongside Cesc Fabregas with Abou Diaby who is fresher than Nasri to play from the left
Seconds to go Cesc Fabregas has the ball and I am screaming keep the ball at the screen and he launches another Hollywood pass that once again does not find its target and Tottenham are back in possession
I know, I know you hate Diaby on the left but he will not let the side down with the amount of confidence he has right now
To be honest the team have always known how to dig in, ok perhaps ignoring our inconsistencies at the back it is just when they decide they want to turn up
Sami Nasri out on the left didn't have just best game in an Arsenal shirt but he kept everything relatively safe with his passing and link up with Clichy. His injuries have disrupted his progress so far and we are witnessing this
Van Persie sat out on Tuesday and if 100% is 100% to start upfront. I would throw my neck on the line and suggest that Arsene will rest Adebayor with the Dane
I remember when he tried to give Upson a chance, against Aston Villa at Highbury if my memory serves me correctly. He dropped Keown and started Upson
When Eduardo hit his goalscoring streak I remember thinking that it is now a case of who plays with him. To be honest, that could be said about any of our forward who are given a run in the side and hit form
