Looking at this squad i think its a good one against teams like Birmingham, Sunderland, Derby, Man City and teams off this sort the three up front would be amazing to see against a crapy defensive sides but wouldnt be so good against teams like Man Utd and Chelski we would need a 4-5-1 formation probs with Adebayor
whats with the slagging of Hleb,, granted i dont think he will ever be a big goal scorer but hes a bloody hard grafter who can run rings around many a defender and never seems to lose the ball.. i rate the guy highly.
Hleb is very good at running round in circles (Just like Wiltord) He does not shoot enough and it doesn`t seem to me he knows the off side rule (again just like wiltord)

I personally think if he could shoot more often he'd be a brilliant player, his close control is wonderful.
As for the offside rule, I'm sure its something you pick up after you've been playing the game for a while
I agree with you on Helbs close control is good his first touch is very good at times it's just his second touch is awful, i lost count how many times his 1st touch was great then for some reason he would go to run with the ball but push it two far infront of him and lose it, its funny because the season before at highbury statistics proved his was the most succesfull dribbler with the ball, i heard Arsene say Helbs been working on it so hopefully he will be a good asset this season
I have high hopes for Walcott this season,we cant keep him wrapped up in cotton wool forever.As for Helb i just dont rate him.He has had two full season yet flatters to decieve.
