alot of football to be played yet, i agree with the earlier comment on Bendtner, he is poison, i personally think that alot of their problems stem from their lack of killer instinct, Wenger is obviously looking out for a striker but one that would suit his way of doing things, however in all the games the Arsenal play they always create clear cut chances , usually as the score is nil all, and they always seem to want to take an extra touch or play the extra pass and suddenly the impetus is lost.
he wants all his players to make an equal contribution but he has to sacrifice his centre forward, look at Rooney, it has taken him 3 seasons to play in his preferred postion but the coaches are telling him not to be involved in the game as much and to try and get on the end on things more often , now you can't keep a good lad down but the amount of poacher goals he now gets is very high and increasing.
Defoe, you would barely know he was on the pitch, but when the ball goes in the mixer he is razor sharp and ruthlessly selfish.
Thats what Arsenal need, they have a very good squad, a young Shearer type of player or even Fowler would excel but they have to leave him up there to do his stuff, look at Torres, he destroyed Vidic twice last year and outpaced Ferdinand whilst playing on one leg to score for the 'Pool.
Thats what i think, i love watching Arsenal but i pull my hair out when there's a one on one with the keeper and they look to square it to their buddy, did Park think once about squaring it 2 weeks ago when he scored, he did in his arse, head down , put the ball in front of you, draw the keeper and slip it under him, easy .

Another year without a trophy
At least they didn't role over like the game against Utd. It was a better performance. It's still no consolation as it's more points dropped and almost certainly out of the title race. Two losses against Chelsea and Utd doesn't look good. It shows their not as good in the big games. A draw or a loss aginst Liverpool would be a disater then their looking over their shoulders for 4 th place never mind third. Now I know how the Liverpool fans feel
It's not fair though all these big games in a row. I wonder how would Chelsea and Utd fair in consecutive games against top 4 contenders. Probably better but they would still drop points.
