The lack of creativity in the midfield forces Vanpersie to fall deep into the middle of the field and collect balls to launch an attack, hence putting himself under pressure from the packing bus opponents, example is the scoring chance he lost against Sunderland.

 I don’t want to be subjective in my analysis but the truth is that AW should listen to Fergusson advice of balancing the team. He needs to strengthen the defense, midfield and attack. That is the only action which will get the team out of the current quagmire.

Arsenal should learn how to cope with predictable injury problems. It is not safe to depend on specific players, Liverpool is also going through the same problem with the absence of Alonso and Gerald.

Thus understanding that the Gunners play style is always predictable which is an advantage to mediocre EPL teams,  AW need to invest in more than two proven creative midfielder’s. Fabregas injury has affected the teams balance greatly. Denilson will never play at the level of Cesc due to the fact that he is not creative, something that is not determined by the age of the player but technical ability. Although Ramsey lacks experience he needs more games and he can be better than Denilson.

Bendtner is un-predictable hence inconsistent player, he should come as substitute. Before Fabregas, Rosicky and Walcott return, AW should try to play Nasri in the Midfield with either Song, Denilson or Diaby to instill the missing creativity. Asharvin should play behind Vanpersie or Eduardo, while vela and Eboue should start on the left and right flanks respectively.

That is my personal opinion Gooners let me here from you.
