He's not a Defensive midfielder he's a direct replacment for Cesc. Although I will admitt that his passing ability has been very poor at the moment. and don't get me started about Diaby!
Wenger chooses to play Denilson there. Song is our only Defensive midfielder in the squad.
We'd all moan if Eboue or Cesc was to play that role also.
What I do find totally amazing is just how weak the midfield was in general. Lets not take anything away from a good Fulham side. Okay there away form is shocking but this is the highest Fulham have been (ever?)in a long time.
But it's not that we had a 5 man midfield which not only fulham coped with but bossed!
We're Arsenal and should be beating Fulham at home.
The only plus was when I saw Eboue on the touchline I could only think that he'd replace either Arshavin (with Nasri moving to the left) or Nasri directly.
Intrestly, he came on for Sagna. Back to where he should be.
And I'll have to say he was good..no, wait Great! in the short space of
time
In fact he soon became the most dangerous and most threatening player causes Fulham to open up (a bit). This despite being a right back a testiment to Eboue or highlighting how poor the rest of the team were.
