As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

Have you read any of my posts on AA?

You would know that I think he is technically excellent but offers such a low workrate, particularly failure to track back, that he is a liabilty.
If he is not playing central behind the striker, which he is unlikely to do as Cesc, Wilshere, etc seem to be above him in the pecking order for that position, then we can replace him with a more effective player on the left in the summer.

Not saying hes not world class but when he gives a fuck he shows how good he can be but has to do it in a more consistent way.C ant just pick and chose what games hes going to turn up for.

If you read my posts I've been sayign since the moment he joined he's been played in the wrong position. Arshavin shouldn't be asked to track back - that's not what's he about.

You criticising him for not being able to perform a role he's never been asked to do in his career.

Luxury Player: Usually a world class or very good skilled player who does fuck'all in terms of teamwork but can and will produce a piece of magic by scoring or assisting a goal at any moment e.g. Cristiano(Lady boy), Ibrahimovic, Cantona, Arshavin, Ronaldinho.
Note: These players can put in a shift if they feel like it but really they can't be arsed.

Tracking-back wasn't what Henry was about either, but he still did it because he had the desire, passion and work ethic to do so.

I'm in the 'excellent but lazy player' camp. I'm not asking him to go galloping downfield to chase a lost ball, but he doesn't usually go chasing even if it's still in the top third of the pitch. And as has been covered in this thread, he doesn't exactly pick himself up with any urgency.
