With the Arsenal news thin on the ground yesterday, I made a decision to run through my thoughts on how a season has gone so far. I started with our goalkeepers and defenders, and today I'll try to give my opinions on the midfielders and attackers.
To start, there's the only holding/defensive midfielder that Arsenal have in Alex Song. Last season Song stuck primarily to his defensive duties, and Arsenal fans very rarely seen him venture forward unless it was at a set piece. That usually have changed this season, as Song can be found in just about every attacking position over the pitch, and also his allotted one. Before this season Song had an average of one goal or assist every 10 games, but this season he's averaging a goal or assist every two games. It tells you just just how much he is getting involved in the attacking aspects of the game, and it's something a lot of fans are a bit anxious about.
The other absolute mainstay of Arsenal's midfield, when all the players are fit is of course, is Cesc Fabregas. After his exploits on the World Cup with Spain he has found it hard to obtain back into the bread-and-butter of club football. He hasn't been helped by the spate of injuries he has had, and it's unusual to see other Arsenal midfielders with more fantasy points than him.
