TR7's recent improvement can be attributed to him finally having a consistant run of games as a starter. Since he had come back from that long injury he was getting inconsistent minutes and it couldnt have done anything for his confidence. Now that he is a starter in every game I think we are seeing the confidence that comes with consistency. I REALLY hope AW does not start playing that piece of shit handbrake Ramsey over him.

That and the high grade Peruvian trumpet he is shovelling up his nose!
very good player, no doubt about his class
but
very strange that he runs all the pitch for 90 minutes, playing a lot of balls, taking the lead role of the entire team, 2/3 weeks before and 2/3 weeks after sign a new contract
ok maybe i'm getting wrong about this strange "combination-of-performances-just-now" but after this record

my memories of his career at AFC is playing 1 match and resting 4 to recover from the previous
maybe i'm too much cynic but numbers are numbers

of course he's playing for his contract....don't be surprised when he goes back to skiving off bigtime!!....he will not start the next games!!....rested due a to "a few good games fatigue"....wenger always puts the brakes on good form to ensure 4th place not 1st!!!...rosickys good but would be twice as good if he had a LEFT FOOT FF!!! ....why people are creaming themselves over him is beyond me....we are so desperate with wenger bullshit fatigue...some people are seeing mirages
He's been injured or on the crack pipe depending on who you listen to.
He was good when he started got injured and like Van Persie (touch Wood )this is the first season where he has been more or less fully fit.
Having played less games than darren anderton for spurs it wasn't surprising it took time for him to hit form although I watched a few of his national games where not only is he captain but everything gets played through him and gets support ans he looks good .
I think he has done well but we play a system that has us regularly outnumbered in midfield ,especially if the other team presses hard and Walcott or RVP doesn't find or make the space or gets a ball over the top to get in behind .
He has had some bad games Milan away, and he got overrun at Liverpool but in the main hes done well since regaining full fitness.
Fact is the new contract is his. If he continues to play well then thats only great for us but he has been a waste of wages for most of his Arsenal career.
I only hope that he ends this new contract having shown the paying crowd what he can do. Was impressed with his tackling against Newcastle. Signs are positive for now.
Of all the players we have you can make a case about being a waste of wages, Rosicky is by far the best player and is too playing v. well recently, so i understand the new contract. If it's true that Wenger will move the dross, there's bigger dross to move, if it isn't, it's senseless to let the best dross go and keep chaps as Diaby, Park and Marouane.
