Of all the players on our injury list who have we missed the most?
My vote goes to Theo. I think that we have missed his turn of pace and decent finishing. I think that he will probably replace Welbeck or the Ox when he comes back. Would prefer to see Theo and Ox operating on both wings. Kos has also been a big miss for us as was Debuchy who has proved to be better than expected.
On the other hand I really don't think that we have missed Ozil much, especially as Santi has been excellent in the No 10 position. I am still waiting for Ozil to show what he can do given a consistent run of games in the no 10 position. I have a bad feeling that he will not really make it at Arsenal. I would love to be proved wrong. Don't think that we have missed Jack W. either. Santi's new found form has more than made up for his loss as he has a much better end product than Jack. But I do see a role for Jack as a reserve/off the bench player.
We have missed Ramsey and Arteta but Diaby should just be written off. Also glad that Sanogo is going out on loan so that we won't have to endure him in our first team again. I like Rosicky and feel that most of the time we play better when he is in the team. He is one of those players who makes things happen.
who have we missed the most and least?

Probably Koscielny the most because he holds our defence together. Walcott is our lethal weapon and Debuchy left us exposed at RB because none of his back ups are anywhere near him. Arteta and Giroud as well because their back ups are not Arsenal quality. Half of our outfield team

I hate to say this, but we didn't even skip a beat when Wenger briefly yanked Shezza out of the starting XI.
I'm a big fan of Shezza's, but Damian will be running him very close by next season.

Ridiculous statement. Shez was amazing vs West Ham. He may have his occasional brain fart but he's a very decent goalkeeper.
Remember his goal save vs Villa and the performance vs Liverpool?

Koscielny holds our back 4 together
Arteta is our only half decent holding midfielder
Ozil is vital for orchestrating attacks in the final third and helping us keep hold of the ball

Not sure what you're on about tbh. All I'm saying is that we have a very promising understudy to our No 1 keeper.

Kos and Debuchy.With Walcott just behind.
It's funny when you think about how much individual injuries really hamper us and to be honest most of the players missing are average anyway. As first 11 when fully fit is still missing a top GK, CB, DM and ST - the entire spine lacks quality.

Kos by a country mile followed by Debuchy then Özil and then Theo.
Whilst Theo's pace has been missed IMO Alexis has pretty much done the work for two players. Özil on the other hand despite his critics gives us good balance in the team and more importantly keeps the ball flowing

Kos, Debuchy and Giroud

Theo
Kos
Arteta
Very hard to separate those three.
We also missed Giroud, Debuchy, Ramsey even Rosicky a great deal
Fully agree we don't miss wilshere at all. One day he will be great and he is very talented but at the moment we are better without him.
