Arteta has been stinking the place out for the past few weeks.

[Summerskin]

Whats happening to our precious little Spaniard?

I understand that movement in front of him may not be of the highest quality but the fella hasn't put in a decent cross/free kick (Bolton goal excluded) since about 2008.

His passing is getting sloppy, he dauldes in possession and frequently loses it (nearly cost us our 3rd today via Nasri).

People complain about Bilyaletdinov and yet our highest earner (and one of the most technically gifted players we've ever had) slips under the radar after putting in performances like these?

Sort it out Mikky.
Cahill, although never fruitful on the eye, got stuck in, was always available, and, scored his 6th goal of the season.

Good point with the Bily comparison. About the same standard at the moment.

 

[Sharpys top lip]

Agree'd he's been really [Poor language removed]. So deserves a bit of stick..



He's playing like a crab, everything is going sideways.

 

[ford_uk]

Brought off also today

 

[daz4matty]

He looks so off the pace and the only gut that runs for him is going

 

[Summerskin]

Brought off also today

Yeah, I forgot to mention, i'm glad Moyes had the balls to bring him off today, we were certainly better without him.

 

[Andriy.EFC]

Not just this game, he's been awful all season long. Not sure how it's taken so long for people to take notice. He has been our worst player.

 

[Brownie]

He was rubbish today, no desire whatsoever to control the game. Personally I thought he was improving the last couple of games after a poor start, but he went back into his shell again.

 

[Reidy's Bottle Of Grecian]

get him some earplugs, the baby is keeping him up all night. A fella who sits infront of the boxes said it was crying like feck when we were having the impeccably observed minutes silence.

 

[toffeebhoy]

thought he was total [Poor language removed] to day and it just capped the last couple of bad performances from him personally i dont think he has been himself this season now be that all the constant talk in the summer is still in his head or he is carrin a nigglin injury i cant put my finger onit but was delighted that DM took him off today as i wud hav thought he was one of those untouchable playres in the 11

if hes a decent player he will dust himself off and start usin the balls he was born wit and go out and perform if he isnt he ll sulk his form will continue to dip and become another liability iin our team

 

[Summerskin]

Reidy could be on to something re: his baby.

Him looking off the pace could be a result of him being totally drained as a parent.

Could be clutching at straws of course, but interesting nontheless.

 

[Sharpys top lip]

He's become the best paid crab on the planet....!!!

 

[Neiler]

Tacticaly i think far more teams are playing a 4-2-3-1 which limits his ability to penatrate to be honest.

 

[Matt Damon]

Scored against Man Utd. Scored against the RS.

Hyperbole. He didn't have a good game tonight. Pienaar was [Poor language removed] too.

Hes capable of Gerrard, Fab, Lampard influence on the team and goals assist level mate - but as theyve all been rubbish as well this season dont mind me.
