Ole Gunner1. Chamakh dropped deep to allow Arshavin space to run in behind the Bolton defence.

2. Arshavin got in behind the Bolton defence missing 4 1-on-1s against the Bolton keeper, and fluffing a couple more chances for being offside. His movement was very good though.

3. Rosicky stayed wide giving Arsenal more width than we've seen in the 4-3-3 formation in recent times.

4. Arsenal defended quite deep. The 2 full backs didn't get forward as often as Arsenal full backs usually do.

5. Instead, Wenger chose to contest the central midfield areas. Ultimately this is where Arsenal's dominance told as Wilshere & Fabregas were outstanding.

3)Song's hair
4)How on earth we didn't get a new keeper yet?

FeriAtsWhat was wrong with Almunia? Not that I rate him, but he didn't do terribly against Bolton.

nvrHe had to close down on the opponent, rushing back was a school boy error, again.
