A lot of class yes, but none of them are fulfilling it Dave and thats the problem.
Ljunberg is having a very poor season. That game away to Charlton proved this with him missing simple chances he would slot away normally.
Reyes is another although i don't think he has been really that great since he has been at highbury bar a couple of exceptional games here and there.
Hleb looks lost and not a tenth of the player he was for Stuttgart and the Belarus national side.
Gilberto has had a tough time with injuries so i will give him the benefit of the doubt.
I am removing my Wigan to qualify bet as i keep forgetting this is a two legged affair but the Asian still stands.
While Wigan have been wobbling this is the kind of game they need to get their season back on track. All the pressure is on Arsenal allowing them to play their own game.
Arsenal's away record is very poor with them going something like 1-1-3 in their last 5 league away games.
Add to that the fact that a draw or a 1-0 defeat would suit Arsenal to the bone makes me like the asian handicap bet even more.
I have to say though. Whenever i back Arsenal they bugger up, but whenever i lay them they win. So make of that what you will
