What happened to Hleb?

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.

If Hleb was playing in this team every single person here would exclaim how shit he was. He looked okay because he was playing in a good team and particularly alongside Cesc Fabregas and behind 2 pretty good strikers.

how? cos he had obscene close control that was a joy to watch, and created a lot of space and time for the players more able to then find the through ball/cross (the assist assist, if you will).
he unfortunately suffers from a few people taking a disliking to him, and then the sheep all joining the hate cos they need a scapegoat and he was never one of "fashionable" players. plus he looked cool with his short socks ;)

why? cos that's how he rolls 8)

i've been called all sorts on here for my views on hleb, and even had people (genuinely) calling for me to be banned for defending him! but i won't renounce his greatness! :D

YStill can't believe Wenger took Bobby off and left hleb on in that 2006 final. I lost faith in Arsene that night. Simply not good enough for us, or even the Belarusian national team.
