Great performance in the second half, but we can't play without Fabregas! We've all been asking Wenger to give the kid a rest as he looks burnt out but we know why he keeps playing him now - we cannot function without him. In the first half we were very poor. I'm not sure if Henry and Van Persie is the problem, I think our biggest problem is our teams finishing as a whole. Gilberto, Fabregas, Baptista, Adebayor, Aliadiere, Rosicky, Freddie and Hleb - players who should be scoring more goals - cannot shoot! We make so many chances but continue to miss them time after time. Unless that changes we'll keep being a top 4 team and won't challenge for the title. Chelsea and United only need a couple of chances to punish teams but we keep missing them which keeps the opposition in the game!

Was good to see 2 goals from set-pieces dont see that much anymore, always thought we should make better use of set-pieces when you look at the size of our squad. I just hope we go out & buy an out-&-out goal scorer for next season to go with henry & van-persie, as i honestly think that is all we are really missing, once others have settled in abit (Rosisky, gallas) & its clear now baptistas not up for the job.

The amount of goals he has let in as a percentage of the shots that have come his way is horrendous. With a dominant and unflappable (in more ways than one) keeper you would see a different Arsenal defensive performance. Just imagine someone like Cech in our goal; we would have been up there with the Championship race if we had. Ah well - dream on. I just hope that a one year contract is not offered and accepted.
