Eduardo da Silva 2009/2010

After a lengthy recovery from a leg break, and a few hamstring problems, Eduardo da Silva finally made his full comeback from injury at the start of the 09/10 season.

Unfortunately he looked a shadow of his former clinical self, missing dozens of easy chances and relying on some massive strokes of luck to score.

However there was an upside to his season - the loss of pace and finishing skills forced him to adapt his game to become more of a provider for others, a role he seemed to do a decent job in as this video demonstrates.

The highlight of his season was scoring the winning goal in the FA Cup 3rd round with a world class header, a brief reminder of the predatory instincts within.

A short video showing van Persie's goals and best creative plays this season. You have to wonder what could have been had he not missed 5 months through injury.

Arsenal's Midfield Men 2009/2010, Part 2

Ramsey, Rosicky and Song this time. Of the three, the 2 youngsters shone the most while Rosicky had a very disappointing season. Song built on the progress he made at the end of the 08/09 season to establish himself as Arsenal's first-choice and a leading Premier League holding midfielder, while Ramsey showed great promise in Cesc's role as an attacking playmaker before suffering his unfortunate leg break. Rosicky has probably dropped even further down the pecking order this season and in all honesty doesn't deserve a new contract earning his current wages. For one of the more experienced players in the team, he's contributed less than most of Arsenal's youngsters.
