Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [5th - 8th May 2012]

A point is better than no points but if we could defend remotely competently we should have taken all three. At home against a newly promoted side... unforgiveable.
 
Arteta is so important to Arsenal because he will use his experience and intelligence to sit back when Song goes forward leaving the defence exposed. Without him the Arsenal defence has no proper protection and as a result get pulled all over the place.

Throwing third away.

Got nothing to do with Song going forward, Arteta spends 90% of his game hanging back waiting for the counter attacks that both our fullbacks, midfield and frequently CB's can't deal with. Song is a complete and utter joke, he covers for him even when Song is back because.

He's important because it means we've got ONE midfielder who does any defending at any time of any game.

He's not that important because he's not fantastically brilliant as a DM< he's just hugely better than Song at it.

We'd be a better team if Arteta played in Song's role, Tiote/similar type in Arteta's role, and Song played in Denilon's role(as in, on another continent).
