if we could only be allowed to play with an extra player, i bet the opposition would be damn scared to play against a team with 12 players. lol

Our team is too dependent on him when he plays, whereas when he doesnt play they seem to play a lot more relaxed. Lehmann should have been captain, they are not going to look up to him to score a goal. We cant win a game when Henry is not up for it, but we can crush any team in the world when Henry does feel up for it. He has been a lot more consistent the last couple of years than he has in the past but I never liked the idea of appointing a striker as a captain. Should always be either the goalkeeper, the CB, CM or DM. Someone from the spine of the team.
I'm sure the main reason he was appointed captain was to get him to stay in Arsenal, which is not a good reason in my book.
and Hoyte will be ripped apart when we play against man u. hopefully flamini will play then. I mean how much longer can wengers patience last? Although he is know to be a very patient man so it might not be until january.
i agree, we are a bit over reliant on Henry but tbh i pretty much doubt that he will be stripped of his captaincy anytime soon. Too bad there arent many experienced leaders in the team who can take over anyway apart from lehmann as u said.

What the Bloddy hell is wrong some of the people posting on here, Henry and his So called captaincy got us to the bloddy CL final last year and now becuase we have lost 1 GAME yes 1 people think he should no longer be captiain.
I am totaly amazed with some of these comments and not just about henry but also about AW and other member's of our team. The problem is that us as Arsenal fans have been spoilet over the last 7 years or so and just becuase we have not made the best of starts people are jumping to some of the most stupid ideas i have ever heard... JESUS
I bet if we win against boro and get something out of the man united game then the same people will be saying how great everything is again....

food for thought. On Saturday we only had three clear-cut chances, the article says.

that sums it up really. this team is playing well and isnt far away from being top notch. a little added depth and more clinical in front of the goal and watch how quickly everyone is back on wengers knob again.
