Drop Arshavin to midfield. He'd do a lot better there than he has done recently on the wings.

I personally have no problem to play Arshawin and said that here several times. It couldnt get any worse.

Play him in the middle, on the wings, play him as a striker if we have to. Can't do any worse than what we are currently watching.

Arshavin CAM, Cazorla out wide.

I would drop 4/5 players that have played in the last two games. So yeah I would probably give him a chance, at least even when he plays bad he creates chances.

Arshavin to MF!? He'd have to replace either Cazorla or Arteta

------------------

Anything to stop him running into defenders at every available opportunity.

If Wenger would consider a change in formation then yes there's a chance he could play.

4-4-1-1 With Arsh playing behind Giroud, Santi and Gerv on either flank and Arteta and Wilshere in CM.

What the heck happened to the Cazorla/Podolski partnership that looked to be building into something sweet a month or so back?

Lex, people went way OTT with Cazorla. I said all along he is a quality player but he is not world class. He does not make space for himself like Cesc used to, teams mark him out of the game easily and then we have nobody else in the squad who can hurt them.

Which is why Arshavin should play because he CAN hurt them.

Hey, as long as we don't move Cazorla out wide to accomodate Wilshere, eh?

Cause that would be... like a really bad idea.

We had a chance to win the premier last year if Arsene had started Arshavin every game to sit just behind RVP instead of continuously playing Ramsey.

Its a bit late now. Song and Arteta were better defensively to cope with Arshavin's lack of hustle. Arteta and whoever is NOT.

That means playing Arshavin will be a liability. And Arsene is not going to put Cazorla on the wing. Cazorla did better defensively yesterday than Coq. He needs to stay in the middle. And Ramsey in the team already means we play with 10 men. Can't afford to play with 9.

We sourround our best players with dross and wonder when opposite teams get behind our one dimensional tactics. That happen for year now. So tell us something new.

Our board takes no risks and invest in the depths of our team. We can't afford to lose a player like Cazorla due to injury e.g. and we are facked up. We have no cover or similar players who could replace him. That goes for all our key players now and in the past.

I'm still furious.

What made me even more annoyed was that I was agreeing with Tony Gayle. I hate Tony Gayle but when he talked about watching the team get slowly worse and worse over the season he was right.
I hate myself for agreeing with Tony 'kin Gayle.

Arshavin through the middle would reap us ton's of goals

God this is exactly how I felt last night. Hated the fact that I was agreeing with him!!!

In fairness to Tony Gayle, he used to co-commentate alongside Jonathan Pearce on Captial Gold.

Almost every Arsenal home game was broadcast, so he's seen us play a lot over the years.

He used to pick holes in us even when we had the likes of Henry, Overmars, Bergkamp... in the side. Little wonder he rips into us now then.

I agree though. I hate agreeing with people like him.
