And several others that were poor. I'm delighted we won and got all three points, very happy with that. But still very frustrated as well - we made it hard on ourselves.
I saw a few runs by Theo that players never fed him on. I think Song even looked right at him and still didn't make the pass. Theo generally wasn't very good, again, but if we would send him a few passes when he makes a good run it may have been different.
Arteta has failed to impress me thus far. So much so, I'd start Rosicky ahead of him every game. At least he moves it forward and tries to make things happen. Arteta seems to slow down play and rarely make a defense splitting pass. If we want a player to pass it sideways all day we had Denilson
Song had an off day as well, but he's generally better so I expect him to return to good form soon.
Jenkinson is a defender that doesn't seem to think he has to defend. Its like playing with two wingers... and one of them isn't that good. If Valbuena had decided to attack down the left more (spent most of his time on their right) I think we would have had real trouble.
And Arshavin... still without his mojo. I think Fat Bastard nicked it.
