Cesc Fabregas

Centre Midfield: Cesc Fabregas
                      10/10
Cesc carries Arsenal. He creates so many chances, scores and is not lazy with tracking back to defend, unlike Arshavin. He is, I believe, Arsenal's best player by some margin, and one of the best players in the world. His loyalty leaves me speechless; he was stopped from going to Barca, his dream, but he never sulked, he just got on with playing. He is a great guy, and I don't know what we would do without him.

Samir Nasri

Right midfield: Samir Nasri
                 8.5/10

Nasri, like Vermaelen, has adapted to the English game rather quickly and has a very good creative eye. I have never seen him play a very bad game and his vision creates chances. He is important to a strong Arsenal midfield, and can link up well with strikers

Bacary Sagna

Right Back: Bacary Sagna
               7/10

Sagna is not that bad a player. He is not the best crosser of the ball but does like to go forward and is not as shaky as some of the other players are in defence.

Laurent Koscielny

Centre Back: Laurent Koscielny
                  7/10

I don't really know much about him, I guess we will find out as the season goes on. He got sent off, scored a goal and made a few terrible mistakes but he needs to ease into the game. He looks good in the air and didn't do too badly against Chelsea. Let's see what happens.

Thomas Vermaelen

Centre back: Thomas Vermaelen  
                         9/10                                                                                                                 
Vermaelen was key to the Arsenal defence last year. He has settled in very quickly and is a very reliable defender. He is strong, tall and scores goals, one of arsenal's key players.

Gael Clichy

Left back: Gael Clichy



                                                                                           
 7/10      Since recovering from a large injury, Gael has never bombed                 forward as he used to and has always been a bit uncomfortable facing big names in defence. However, he is still very quick and this does come in handy

Manuel Almunia

Goalkeeper: Manuel Almunia
                    
                    


 5/10       Cannot believe Arsene did not sign a new goalkeeper during the transfer window. Almunia just makes too many mistakes to be in a title challenging team. He is not even in the top three for Spain, which says a lot about how good he is.
