ArtetaMikel Arteta bagged himself two penalties today and the Arsenal midfielder is now the second-highest Spanish goalscorer in Premier League history.
Arteta has now hit 36 goals in the division, one ahead of former Gunners skipper Cesc Fabregas. The top scorer is of course Fernando Torres, who moved on to 78 with a brace today..
Lampregas.

Love him. He's been a revelation in the deeper role. One of our best, most consistent performers.

It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
Pretty much. It shows a basic lack of understanding.Originally Posted by LDG

Seems they don't rate him in Spain either.
Was quite surprised not to see him in Spain's B team against Tahiti yesterday (or was I?).
He's not very good
He's a decent player but when he's in the team the onus on creating chances is very much on the other 2 central midfielders, which isn't necessarily a problem as long as they're in form. However, when for example Cazorla and/or Wilshere are not doing it, he struggles to provide the impetus we need. Also I think he's too conservative with his passing sometimes, and slows the game down by perhaps missing openings that other more creative deep midfielders like Pirlo would take advantage of. I'm not saying he's a bad player, but IMO we can do better in that position.
