I only told it because people REALLY underrate his contribution. Maybe they forgot about some of his goals, because the most were really quality.ibby said:This is the second time you've told us to check a player's video on YouTube. You realise that it can make anyone look like anything? I remember one of Cygan that made him look like Campbell.
there were only two occasions when he completed 90 minutes that Arshavin did not give the team a goal or an assist.

I largelly agree with this. He had a period where he was excellent, but he's not had a great season overall. It's easy to remember his strong period, where he was scoring and assisting almost everything. But a deeper analysis of where and when the goals came and a look at the season as a whole, makes it a bit less impressive. He also missed several one on ones during the period when we couldn't score, but that seems to be forgotten. Yet when Bendtner misses, no one seems to forget.Klaus Daimler said:Robin had a pretty mediocre season by normal standards where many of the goals either did not arrive in the two competitions that mattered (four goals in the FA cup against Burnley, Cardiff and Hull), or came on penalties (three out of five CL goals were from the penalty spot, for example). In terms of assists he did very well though and his purple patch in january was important. Let's hope this was just the definite beginning of his career rather than a peak. Out of the players in the current team only Arshavin and Almunia deserved the Player of the Season award more.

He was being touted as the best striker in the Premiership at the time by quite a few in the media.
