Our title wining players did have poor performances for us they, weren't perfect, but as a % of high level performances the current squad are very unreliable. In their prime Henry, Pires, Campbell, Toure, Cole, Ljungberg, Veira were all pretty consistent performers. The likes of Nasri, Ramsey, Arshavin, Walcott, Chamakh, Van Persie (with his injuries), Koscielny, Cesc (last season) are brilliant at the best but so often fail to deliver what then can achieve. Right now I'd say Wilshere is our most consistent performers and maybe Vermaelen if he can get back to his best (Van Persie has been but we know he'll get injured) How can we build a team with so many players unable to string a consistent 90 mins? Let alone several games together (Nasri's 4-5 months of brillance then so average from January on). Ramsey sums this up for me, I know he's young and his injuries but he can mix great skill and goals to make me think hes ready to fills Cesc's position but he then gives the ball away cheaply or is lackluster in tracking back.
Rvp, vermaelin, wilshire, sagna, cesc, song and thats about it, djourou is liabilty at the back, gibs not ready Fringpong looks like he can fill in short teRm forum song, ramsey has bags of talent only need to delop some more, ChamCkh need to leave instead of bentner, apart from b52 ego he has allot more ability, walcott ok arsavin is a keeper.
I don't have as much trust in Song as you guys do. He is always moving too far up the pitch when he is a defensive midfielder! That and his constant fouling just outside the penalty area, can get a bit annoying. Don't get me wrong, he is one of the lynchpins in our team but he needs more discipline.
Players I don't trust at Arsenal Eboue, Bendtner, Almunia, Scezceny, Fabianski, Squillaci, Chamakh. Simply put I'd always prefer someone to start ahead of them. Next is an exclusive group of inconsistent performers namely Arshavin, Walcott, Diaby, Rosicky & Vela who are without doubt talented as they are infuriating. Form will be lost & found throughout a Campaign, just feel thowe not mentioned tend to deal with this alot better.
