He always leaves a tackle with the ball & on his feet. 30:70s become 70:30s. You question his confusion as to role - that is because in the games you mention he has played alongside Flam & Gilberto (also Denilson in CC). And let's face it, he has started in only, what, 4 (maybe 5) games? I'm looking forward to seeing him play with Fabregas & Hleb is able to focus on his natural (defensive) game. I think long term he will be Cesc's midfield partner.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456083302191427651.post-47393343924386933502007-12-09T12:56:00.000+00:002007-12-09T12:56:00.000+00:00I don't agree dropping Eduardo.

If he can play some games in his position he will score goals. I already think he is Arsenals best finisher, next to Fab. Ade needs a lot of chances and will never be the cool finisher. But we have to accept that Eduardo don't runs around doing a lot of stunts. He finishes it and score...the type of player we havn't have since Ian Wright...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456083302191427651.post-72346510080750958872007-12-09T12:49:00.000+00:002007-12-09T12:49:00.000+00:00With Diarra, does he have the sophistication to pl...With Diarra, does he have the sophistication to play the fluent football of arsenal? <BR/><BR/>Myself I wasn't as impressed with him agains Villa and Newcastle as many of you were. For me he is at the back of the pecking order behind Denilson, Diaby, Gilberto and Flamini for the spot alongside Fabregas! I think Flamini understands his role alot better than Diarra, he knows he's not the passer of the final ball, he passes the ball to the player that gives the final ball. I feel Diarra wants desperately to be a goal scorer and the passer of the final ball at the expense of his defensive duties.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456083302191427651.post-7296661325447995202007-12-09T12:40:00.000+00:002007-12-09T12:40:00.000+00:00Also, a fact that is often overlooked when discuss...Also, a fact that is often overlooked when discussing Eduardo is that he has had 3(?) prem starts this season I can remember and two of them have come at Ewood and St James'.

So I also agree he should not be included today. Instead, similar to you, I would opt for the following:<BR/><BR/>Almunia-Sagna-Toure-Gallas-Clichy<BR/><BR/> Eboue-Diarra-Denilson<BR/><BR/> Rosicky<BR/><BR/> Bentner - AdeB<BR/><BR/>Subs: Walcott, Fabiansky, Gilberto, Hoyte, GibbsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
