That arshavin is a liability against a side that is gonna have 70% possession?
Good tactical decision imo. The sort of tactical decision that Wenger often gets slated for not making - not suiting our game plan to the opposition etc etc.

Even if he does hes gonna be puffed out by the 60 minute mark. I'd rather have him come off the bench for the final stretch then have a burnt out arshavin on the pitch and rosicky as the only fresh legs to replace him for the crucial part of the match against tiring barca defenders.

Does Rosicky really track back?
Remember Newcastle game, when it seemed as if he was playing for them.
Or the CC final, where he gave the ball away 90% of the time.
If it's defensive shift Wenger is looking for, he would surely play Chamakh instead.
I don't know, would much rather have walcott but think rosicky would track back, pressure, hold the ball up much better than Arshavin. Arshavin also seems to be much better at coming off the bench.

Game was second or third item on Sky Sports News at 6pm..ASked a friend would that happen to Man U or Spuds ? His response was "I hope we are second or third item tomorrow , that means we have won...if we are hammered Sky will dedicate their day to it"
