And we got a point. And Bolton and Everton drew.
There end the positives.
On a day when Arsenal fans everywhere wanted (nay needed) a positive display to make up for the sides recent ineptitude, they got arguably the worst of the lot in a game played at snail’s pace.
Incase you didn’t know, Abou Diaby played upfront. That’s a measure of just how good Baptista and Aliadiere are at the moment. Illness to Tomas Rosicky meant Aleksandr Hleb got another opportunity to hammer a nail into his Arsenal coffin, and all in all we looked like a team who didn’t believe we could score, let alone win.
We’re still on track for fourth place. But this team needs serious, serious surgery in the Summer. They’re so uninspiring that I can barely write about it. I just hope that Arsene’s positive comments are just for morale’s sake, and that he is in truth preparing for his most crucial summer of spending to date.
