Your Vision – Starters Vs Subs Vs Sold
So lets get on with the comparison then, we all know our starters well : Szczęsny, Santos, Vermaelin, Kos, Sagna, Song, Arteta, Wilshere, Walcott, Gervinho, Van Persie.A very good team no doubt, maybe I would change Gerviho for the Ox just because I really don't feel he's a top player. He's direct and has pace but he just lacks composure if Arsenal only get one chance in a very tight importan
The Arteta/Cesc Comparisons – Two very different players
Arteta would be a perfect fit in a 4-3-3 provided Wenger can get the combination right. As it stands the best midfield 3 combo is Song, Arteta and Jack. The question here is if we look sound in the creativity department. Don't get me wrong Arteta and Jack can pull their weight creatively what I feel they lack is the ability to do it on a regular basis like Cesc did reason I said we need a super quality
Good news at last + Gervinho seals deal

Arsenal? I just don’t wanna talk about it
Bolton (a) Thoughts & Predictions: Ignore title thoughts and concentrate on performance
Jack Wilshere will return to the starting line up after resting at Tottenham. He will also be returning to the club that gave him his break into the Premier League on loan and he will be looking to show how much he has matured during his time back at Arsenal
Liverpool (h) Post Match Thoughts: Predictable attack to blame not Emmanuel Eboue
I feel massively sorry for Emmanuel Eboue. He had a fantastic game and was certainly one of our better performers on the day. He was one of the players who added that drive and direct running that many of the more popular players missed from their performance throughout the game
Blackpool (a) Thoughts & Predictions: Players need to replicate managers fight this afternoon
As usual Wenger has to take a slow walk down the halls of the treatment room corridor to check on the availability of players to choose from. The curtains of Alex Song's bed are drawn shut
Blackburn Rovers (h) Thoughts & Predictions: Theo Van Nasregas back for April fresh start
I am interested to know what Arsene will do with the rest of the team, he often rests players who have played International football but given the importance of the game it could well be seen as somewhat of a risk. Andrey Arshavin for example has played plenty of minutes in Russia's last two
