That's what I meant. A WUM who was really on the ball would have appointed Arshavin as fitness coach and motivational trainer by now. Wenger isn't getting as much out of Arshavin as he could, Wenger out!

Rubbish, He had been playing well till about Russia not going to the world cup then he sulked for a year because of it. now he can't be bothered and is only worried about his bank balance.
He saw the way we play before he joined, could have gone else where if he hated it, only thing AW is reposnisble foris still playing him.
i see alot of contradiction on this board...wont call out names, however the same people saying Asharvin is shiit fullstop also in other threads seem to questions why Wenger does not play players in their best position.
when Asharvin arrived, he thrived on the left...this was in a 442, so he midfield could offer better cover to him, and he was a revelation when the two upfront strikers created the space for him to exploit.
in this complete nonsense, psuysdo 433 that we play, the guy is massively exposed, he cannot do what he does best and that is cause devastation in the final third...his confidence is completely shot and he must hate going onto the pitch.
Wenger should have got the guy in tip top condition, played him in the centre or off RVP for at least 5-10 games and then seen what he could do.
I agree his form dipped after Russia did not qualify for the world cup however it was up to his coach to get the best back out of him, not keep on sticking him in a postion where he clearly suffers.
I made this comparison before, how effective would Dennis Bergkamp have been on the left in this useless psuedo 433, thats a valid question.
Wenger is blatantly to blame...who recall's playing Diaby on the wing, Song as CB etc....even Nasri was wasted on the right, when Cesc was injured and Narsi came into the middle last season he was magical, but as soon as Cesc is fit Nasri is pushed out wide and his form dropped in line with ours.
These are not co-incidences but they are down to Wenger forgetting that football comes first not all this science data bullshit, everyone does that crap now, why not go back to judging a footballer on what he does best.
