"this" match? When standing still with movement around him he can find a one touch pass quite well.... he has nothing at else in his game. Give him 3 touches, it's gone, watch him run at the defence with the ball, it's gone. He is awful at holding it up, with 99% of long ball/headers he just flops over when the defender touches him and not convincingly, he rarely wins headers. if the ball happens to drop to him unless he has loads of support instantly he'll do nothing. Exceptionally limited player who only works when we have a LOT of support and aren't asking anything more of him, IE good at home to Norwich, crap everywhere else.

:D well to be fair to the le donkey, he seems to score an awful lot off the pitch:p

I don't watch him enough to comment on his general play but in this game he needs to work so much harder. When Adebayor is on it, his work rate is exceptional. He finds space so that he is a viable outlet for the defence. Arsenal could really do with an outlet right now...

The officials should be forced to explain that decision before being suspended or demoted. The linesman didn't raise his flag and the ref didn't look like he was going to give a penalty so who gave it? :o
