He's barely been out for 2 weeks. Arsenal's only long term injuries have been Van Persie, Rosicky and Ramsey. The others dropped recently so I wouldn't count them. When you're fighting on all fronts and have smallish players that's what happens. The one area Chelsea have been very lucky in is in attack. There is no adequate cover for Drogba or Anelka. -- http://soccer-europe.com Rss feed : http://soccer-europe.com/RSS/News.xml

Bill-boy Gallas, Bendtner, Walcott, Nasri, Clichy, Denilson and Diaby have all been out for lengthy spells, and by the end of the season you'll be able to say the same of Arshavin. Arsenal have played very few matches in which they've had more than 6 available who would be starting if everyone was healthy.

OK, Owen too. Still not very impressed. (Somehow I doubt he'd have made much of a difference if he had been fit, considering Ferguson chose to play a half-fit Rooney before Berbatov.) |
