ADe got two essentially tap in's from fantastic balls from Fabregas, the rest of the game he didn't get anything right, gave the ball away constantly and helped with no attacking play at all, against anything but one of the worst teams away in the league that would have cost us. Bendtner misses more as he, tries more, and he doesn't wait for those shots from less than 6 yards out, unsurprisingly people miss less at point blank range. The problem is any game that we aren't playing against City/west brom/blackburn and we can't put it on the toe of Ade in the 6yard box, we don't look dangerous. When we don't play Ade we have strikers/players willing to shoot from in and around the box, you miss more that way, but you have a chance of scoring.
Arshavin wasn't brought in as a striker, as he's not a striker, he was also incredibly quiet today as he needs an inteligent striker to play with, Eduardo, Bendtner, Vela, RVP all count, Ade does not.
Walcott did nothing all game, I can't see how you can watch that game and see him and Ade stuck by the corner flag failing to do anything dangerous for 88minutes out of the game as good. Arsenal movement improved immeasurably when Bendtner and Eboue came on, both held the ball, ran it well, went past people created chance after chance, attack after attack, tracked back, won the ball, got through the defence, attacked with speed and were 100% effort every second on the pitch, as both players are in every single game.
Eboue's best quality is in doing what Ljunberg did, he pops up late to run onto the ball in the box, Ljunny, Pires, WIltord, overmars, etc, etc, would all when run into the box and towards the near/far post when the ball is going up the opposite wing. You rarely if at all see Walcott do that, the couple games he's done it a lot this season like for England, he was fantastic. Today he barely got into the box. Eboue spent half his time on the pitch in their box, and the other half running all the way back and making tackles in our box, neither of which Theo did.
