You can see that he can't sustain those burst of pace. Like Wenger said, it will take time to build proper match fitness and when he does those runs from the heart of midfield can be game changing.
Yeh all 3 have difficult games, so there is definatly no guarantee we will drop from 4th. Either way we are right back in the mix. Utd play chelsea and then us and are currently 3 points ahead of us - so the top teams are hardly pulling away from us just yet
No chance, I am afraid. I see Spurs destroyiing Southampton's defence. It's the worst in the league by a mile.
I always think of him as a little version of Diaby. Same burst, same game changing ability, same injury issues.
Also those getting annoyed about people being happy being back in the top 4 - top 4 is the bare minimum we need to achieve - anything below that is firstly damaging to our business model and ambitions, and secondly just plain unacceptable because that means some crap like Liverpool or spurs would finish above us. Top 4 is the base of our season, that must be achieved, then we have to look for success beyond that. It needs to be top 4 + trophy as opposed to a trophy and finishing out of the top 4. Unless the trophy is the CL as Chelsea have shown..
Wilshere was our best player today, his drive and desire to get forward to commit defenders are going to create lots of chances for us.
I don't know who gets credited with the assist but Arshavin is the player who should get credit for creating the goal! He really is a class player - i hope he finds a place he fits into our team again.
Gervinho seemed to go down injured after making a run with the ball - possible over stretched something? He immediatly sat down, held his lower leg and waited for the medical staff.
