arsenal is weak

Arsenal is damn weak. I hate to say this la, because Arsenal and I are 1, but they seriously sux nowadays. Henry is playing like a 20k pounds a week player instead of a super star. Gone are the days where he will arrogantly take the ball and beat 1,2,3 defenders, sashaying his way into the box with style, scoring with aplomb. Gone are the days of robert pires, a superb freddy ljungberg as well as bit part but equally appreciated players such as 'piledriver' parlor, oleg luzhny and even giles grimandi. No more 'champaign football' and 'scoring, scoring arsenal'. 'The invincibles' are a thing of the past.
Much has been said about arsenal's current crop of youngsters, but seriously, EPL and league cup is a diff ball game. Arsenal's full first team is unmatched by any side in EPL (sorry tim, even man utd.) but the problem is when they are injured. As it is, arsenal have the epl's best right back, eboue, out for long periods, and hleb's absence is equally missed. Clichy has struggled to fill ashley cole's small but skilful boots, and continues to commit schoolboy errors, allowing inferior team to rob us of important points. And walcott is the worst crosser i've ever seen. Always intercepted by the first defender. Henry's playing like an old man, Adebayor, with his hapless ball control, is even worse than a poor man's kanu. Arsenal usually have 2 top notch strikers, but this season, with henry scoring goaLS like a bmt m16 (always got ia, so miss lor), we only have 1 damn good striker in van persie, who broke his metatarsal. hai. arsenal is causing me a lot of frustration these days.
