Rosicky

There is always one of our player who fans are criticising. Song it top drawer, just remember players have bad days and good days, they cant be great all the time.

The only players we have now who don't have many good days are Squelch andChamakh(but if we played the 442 formation like when Henry came on yest he will be good). All the rest I am happy with!

And Arteta, what can you say about this guy. Greases and oils our midfield machine and hums along with it.
Inspired buy by Le proff.

I thought he was poor yesterday, you must of been still watching a stream from the Blackburn game. Kept giving the ball away and making the wrong decisions.

Rosicky was excellent yesterday. I think people on these forums often decide they're going to love/hate a player early in the season, and then they stick with that decision regardless of evidence to the contrary.

I love Arteta

No he wasn't excellent at all, I like rosicky, he's played well in the past 3 games bar yesterday. He lossed the ball and offered little going foward.

The best way to gauge if we are playing well in the 3 midfield players.

a) Possession stats are in our favour.
b) We out shoot our opponents.

That was both true yesterday. We were always in control although Sunderland defended their penalty box well.

Thats the positive contribution of Rosicky. The negative is that he still lacks in goalscoring and creativity.

Ramsey made a fine contribution in the equalizer but he was still quite average linking play. So in my opinion he isn't ready.

I would personally play Arshavin in that role or play Coq deeper with Song and push Arteta higher up the pitch.

I think the more games Rosicky plays the better he will become. You can see he still has it and his distribution and play in general is becoming a high standard again in driving through the midfield. I'm not sure he will ever be able to shoot anymore though lol

Powerkinghenry, saw the whole game again on Arsenal player: Rosicky played very well and kept us ticking.
Yes he could do with a goal, but to say he was poor is plainly ridiculous!

Rosicky has certainly lost his shooting ability, but generally he is playing very well right now, I don't see how anybody could watch the last couple of games and say otherwise.
