Arshavin should take most of the blame. He just didn't want it enough at arsenal.

However he was asked to play a very stupid position, one which required him to do as much work defensively as offensively - he never really stood much chance playing in that position.

It was duly reciprocated by the jeers of those Arsenal fans who condense as well as any overpaid foreigner the air of entitlement that besets the Premier League.

This lazy scored 31 and had 38 assists...

He played well for 2 seasons... then he becames a fat mcdonalds munching, wife cheating, lazy tw @t happy to sit on his 90k a week.

8bit. in theory being part of a front three should mean that (little defensive responsibility) but in practice that just wasn't the case.

95% Arshavin being a lazy , 5% dodgy tactics IMO.

I watched him live real close to where he would be positioned and he looked crazily unfit. Panting and stopping after just 5 or so minutes into the game, was very strange to see.
