That would be too much for Whilshire, the lad deserves a rest, he's earned it. The problem is we aint got any other creative midfielder...fuck.
Yeah we are going to see a ragtag team this weekend, especially if Rosicky, Nasri, etc. are sitting out. Possibly a worse team than we fielded vs. the Shits other than Chamakh and Arshavin.
Five Arsenal players have recently come out and hailed Wilshere's performances so far this season. He seems like he is a liked guy within the squad too.
Wenger's stubborness cost us again, No quality GK= no silverware. Another long season. This game we should have gotten 3 points, and would have been on top of chelsea.
Wenger played a 4-4-2 for most of the game which cost us. I saw Diaby playing the holding role and Song on the right at times. The players had no idea where they were. Wenger thought it was a good time to test a couple of things but it clearly wasn't. Nasri was the only player on the pitch who actually cared about the game and Chamakh was given very little to work with. Eboue, Almunia, Diaby, and Song were all absolutely awful on the day. Our back four were still quite solid but our shitty midfield brought them down a couple of notches. Song was our only true starter in the midfield so it's obvious we rested some players ahead of the Chelsea game (which is a huge one).
