i would like to agree with the views on how Diaby has been disappointing but i hardly think shipping him out is either an option or a solution,i remember a time when Flamini would come on as a sub and run around getting some needless tackles in and people thoght that it best we let him go because he disnt seem to have the technical abilty and awareness to fulfill a midfield role at Arsenal but i feel he has since changes all those people’s views and put in some man of the match performances making us all warm to him again.i feel all this rejuvenation has come about because Wenger has shown confidence in him to play him in his favoured role and i believe that is what is needed for Diaby.
if he were to be given the opportunity to play in that midfield and build his confidence um sure we would see a different Diaby,because eventhough the left side aint his position,if he had gained some self belief from playing in his normal posiion he wouldnt mind filling in at that position once in a while.
the game against Derby will be interesting because a few names might be rested and it would be interesting to see who wenger starts with in the midfield coz Gilberto might still be rested and that could mean a start beckons for Denilson,Diaby and Diarra.

wow for the first time in 3 years, i am having confidents in the arsenal team, since our invisible days we never recovered from that, not been consistant, i wonder when was the last time we had a good run like this from the start.

I agree with the Almunia supporters. Jens is not going to be here for much longer anyway and he definitely seems to be diminishing in stature. I think Almunia needs a shot at a whole season. I don’t think he has muffed it yet.

Good point opsy, at least Almunia will learn and have something to prove to himself and Arsenal. Lehmann is old, stubborn and I’m sad to say past it.

I personally think Van Persie had a decent game, not his best, but a decent performance nevertheless.

I agree with you about the team as a whole though. These boys look like they’re really enjoying their football and have all the confidence in the world. And with Gallas to come back we’ll be stronger than ever.

I think the return of Eboue will be vital as well. Not in defence though, but pushing Hleb and Rosicky for the wide area positions. He has raw pace, has a good cross and isn’t afraid to shoot.

The squad is better than some people think, although Toure going away on the ACN could be the biggest loss.

fantastic performance by this progressvely improving team of extremely talented youngsters,under the astute guidance of the best manager in the world.As per player performances and rating Flamini was outstanding just like he was in previous games he started this season.I sincerely dislike slating players, but diaby does not do it for me ,too slow, his reaction time is slow,he is not athletic. He should be sold ,shipped out to another premiership side.our new signing Diarra should play more than a fringe role instead of that diaby. lest i forget ,please no more Lehman, i would rather Almunia makes mistakes and learn. Gunners thanks for making my day . Spare a thought for Jose mourinho— Great guy Adios humbre.

WI. I understand your point, but I can’t speak for other fans. Many fans views on blog sites are pretty one-eyed anyway. Judging by the singing last night most fans are happy with RvP, Adebayor and Eduardo. They are Arsenal players so why dis them. Incidentally I think I would agree with your point but you have to careful you are not doing to RvP what you are accusing others of doing to Adebayor. We are lucky to have at least three very successful forwards with very different styles. Of the three it looks like Adebayor is more naturally a centre forward, RvP a supporting forward (different jobs). Eduardo is a bit of both but with a left sided tendency. I think there is a lot more potential in the side as our midifled players learn to link up with all of our forwards. At the moment there are quite a lot of wasted runs and perhaps misunderstandings but these will diminish as the team progresses. Great place to be at the moment isn’t it.

rock: Diaby was falling over all the time yet he needs more games?

Out left side was SO weak when Rosicky went off. Rosicky tracks back a lot and although Diaby does try, he does end up in the middle of nowhere looking like a lost donkey and he falls over a lot for no reason.

For that reason I think we should give Denilson a run there and Diaby a nice well required run of games in the reserves.

Well, according to what i saw,r.v.p played so well yesterday compared to the previous games.I think all he needed was a goal……….Diaby was no where to be seen.The reason why seville became so dangerous on the side of clichy and diaby is because diaby was not perfoming.He was falling over all the time.I think he is not fit yet.He needs more games.Overall the team was played excellently
