  But their midfielder is still quite formidable and like the matches before, they created tons of chances but fail to put away any. They are relying on Adebayor now but he is not the kind to deliver day in day out, he needs a foil and there is currently none.

  If you look at the top 3 (it hurts when Arsenal isn't here!! ), they all have a scoring midfielder.
  
  Liverpool - gerrard
  
  Chelsea - Lampard sometimes Ballack and even essien
  
  Man Utd - Carrick has started scoring. then there's always scholes and ronlado if u consider him a midfielder
  
  But u look at Arenal - Cesc misses way too many chances, Diaby and denilson almost never score either.
  
  Rosicky's strike rate has been dissapointing. Hleb fairs no better.
  
  Only Gilberto gets the odd goal now and then (this in itself is a surprise given how he seldom scores in the past seasons)

  tht being said, diaby and denilson look really good wouldn't u say?

  Denilson is a greenhorn. Diaby shouldnt be playing on the flanks. I really hope Hleb steps up his game. I really like him but he has been letting some Arsenal fans down.

  rite now they have no more cup worries, but still kena by biasness of englisg pig referees' judgment.
  
  another factor is the lack of confidence among the young players. they perform well but luck are not on their side. tis cost the morale of the players to be low...

  i think their motivation has dropped too. now that they are out of everything. It's not a situation that arsenal is used to.
  
  Just imagine.. the goal of the club is to finish 4th this season

  i will feel dat they should get two quality defenders. gallas is good but he is old.
  
  n get a 5-stars striker too. we cant always depend on king henry forever.

  I think it all boils down to luck.
  
  Van persie's fitness is another concern.

  Somehow I feel that English referees may be a little on the racist side. The FA's decision not to clear Adebayor doesn't help either.
