He's playing much better in the last couple of weeks and has been a genuine threat. He's halfway up from the rock bottom return he was previously providing, so he's still frustrating as hell and could still do a lot better but at least he's shown he can improve. He does still make terrible decisions on the ball more often than not and that's a major problem. It costs us too and as the OP pointed out Theo can be as big a threat to us as he is to the opposition. A few weeks back I'd have said get rid of him for sure because he's going nowhere. But maybe if we add some more talent to the team in the summer (as in, actually add talent rather than just talk about it) he'll have less responsibility and a lighter burden, can be rotated more and could end up an effective squad player to be used in the right games at the right time. That will mean Wenger paying a bit more (any) attention to the opposition and their strengths and weaknesses. Over the last couple of weeks Wenger seems to be doing some of that. Bottom line, we need to keep what we have* and add more, the squad is threadbare as we saw last night.


* Chamakh has to go of course, but that will strengthen the squad.
