His lack of pace wasn't such a problem then. He is intelligent and has a strong will to win. Last season he played with exactly the same shoulder injury that had Theo Walcott sidelined and excused by fans (quite fairly) for most of the season. Earlier this season when Gallas was injured for a couple of months he performed perfectly well for the most part. As it has been pointed out, certain players need a few games to get going again - Sol Campbell is a good example. Comparing him to Cygan (himself just an average premiership player rather than the complete disaster many 'supporters' had him down for) is ridiculous. Were Juventus ever interested in Cygan? Senderos is only 21 and is one of the brightest defensive prospects in Europe. The problem is that when a promising young attacker has an off day he is excused but if a young centre back is at fault for a goal you people choose to vilify him. We lose one game and instantly you jump on the bandwagon and start discussing who should be sold. Not good enough for Arsenal? Tell me this, if there were a league judging those on how they support their team where do some of you whingers think you would be? In my opinion exactly where Derby are right now. Don't some of you realise how some of you are viewed by people who have been going to games over the years and who have supported their team through thick and thin? I'm sure that if many of you saw the young Tony Adams play you would say he is not good enough for Arsenal. He made many mistakes but took it on the chin and got on with it (opposition fans regularly chanted donkey his way at first.) Rio Ferdinand made some glaring errors early in his career. These things happen. All teams lose games. Deal with it and move on. You're lucky to support such a great club.

Has he got any form? or you're talking about Stepanov/Cygan types of form? The guy is a crap and should've been shipped out long ago. His mistakes are so numerous to recount here; he can't jump, tackle, head the ball, run so where does he fit in the team? Darren and Leebo

I have nothing personally against Barcelona, I would love to play any of the big sides (Inter Milan, Real Madrid, AC Milan) - it would be a great test for the side. I just look back at our great run a couple of seasons ago when Arsenal defeated Juventus, Madrid and Villareal - it was so good to get past those top teams. I think we can do it again. le gunner – Well said.

Eduardo is a typical Fox in the box he loves to finish things off. Don't you just love to play Barcelona and give them a kick up the backside if we do that it would be a dream. I still haven't got over that final in Paris makes me sick thinking about it. and that would settle it for me.Not only me lots of the Gooners would love that.

Arsenal typically lift when they play big sides and flop against the smaller ones so I don't really mind who we draw in the second round. I take your point about Eduardo, but when you consider that his favoured position is as a central striker how can you expect him to track back? It's not in his nature. I wouldn't call it laziness and I did feel he supported Bendtner well. The problem was he was too wide, and that is Wenger's fault. I think 4-4-2 with Eduardo in behind Bendtner would have worked, Denilson could have played wide left and I think things would've been better. le gunner – I would love to play Barcelona in the next round.
