Player Valuation: £35m
Once unthinkable to consider, his form this season has been abject.
Moved in the last few games to the holding midfield role - early signs at Spurs looked promising. However twice in the villa game he seemed to [Poor language removed] up positioning wise - leading to goals.
Its still too early at this stage to judge him in this fairly unfamiliar role, although he used to play centre mid before - why has his form been so poor.
A man who normally sparkles on the pitch and is the centre of everything creative, and possesses such touch and flair - has been misplacing passes and losing the ball left right and centre.
Perhaps we should consider dropping him in the short term - although numbers are such we probs can't afford to do this.
Obviously Cahill has been [Poor language removed], Lescott and Jags mixed, well the whole defence, none of our strikers have really been fit enough to get going, moyes seemed for the first time at everton a little unfocused at the start of the season - none of these are artetas problem, but he really has been a shadow of the player we know him to be.
Anyone's thoughts?
