Arshavin: Arsenal struggling without Van Persie

Arsenal players admit they're missing crocked striker Robin van Persie.

Andrey Arshavin has highlighted the problem of holding the ball up in attack without Van Persie.

The Russian playmaker told L'Equipe: "Since the injury to Van Persie, we have scored only two goals in three matches. No-one is able to keep hold of the ball."

Amen! the whole front has sucked. Ramsey and Silvestre should not be on the first team! Nasri and rosicky are inconsistent and Eduardo need to find his game again, and Fabregas has cooled down. Arshavin has disapeared this season, hopefully he gets his form back. Gibbs speed is missed. Best player lately is Song. Rather play Eboue and Sagna left and right backs if Gibbs or Clichy is not around. Vela has not shown he deserves to start either. Havent been impressed by Denilson. Basically only players I have been impressed this year with is Song, Van Persie, Fabregas, Vermalen, Gallas and Gibbs.

Get out Arshavin while you can arse are for the knackers yard.
