Arsenal’s team this term boasts a massive difference to the squad we’ve had in recent years, despite the majority of the team remaining the same, but the players really have picked things up a notch.
The Gunners head into February well in the battle for the title race, in the fourth round of the FA Cup and with a Champions League showdown with Barcelona. Whilst none of that will be easy, Arsene Wenger’s side have given us more reason to be confident.
Whilst the big name players perform and make a good account of themselves, it’s also been a chance for the fringe players to step-up and the squad players to get themselves noticed. Even our stars have kicked onto a higher level, it’s been fantastic to watch.
Here we will detail the five players we believe have been the most improved thus far this season. Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
I agree with everything you say about the 5 most improved players this season
Sadly this can also be matched by 5 who have gone backwards
Walcott – a passenger just not developing the potential that should now be the finished article
Oxlade-Chamberlain Same could be said for him though being that much younger than Walcott he still is a possibility
Mertesacker – well the Chelsea fiasco was an accident just waiting to happen. Sadly it may have blown our chances of winning the PL. Surely time for Gabriel to take over permanently
Flamini & Arteta – just past their sell-by date and hopefully leaving at the end of the season
These are all issues that should be addressed, but Wenger staggers on seemingly blind to the problems. Such a shame as we are so nearly there. We just needed 2 or 3 quality signings to be Champions this season.
