When Arshavin came to Arsenal 2 years ago he was an instant success and all Arsenal fans loved him immediately especially after his display at Anfield where he scored 4 goals, the last player to score 4 goals against Liverpool in Anfield in the Premier League was probably some 60 or 70 years ago.
This season many of the Arsenal fans seem to hate and blame Arshavin for some poor results. He is having a poor season by his standards but he has done very well so far statistically.
Goals
He has scored 4 goals this season in 22 games in the Premier League. He has featured in all Arsenal’s games in the Premier League, except the game against Chelsea. 3 out of the 4 goals were all valuable away goals, Against Blackburn Rover winning 2-1, against Aston Villa winning 4-2 and the 2-2 draw against Wigan. His home goal was against Blackpool when Arsenal won 6-0.
Only the following midfield players scored more goals than him.
10 Goals-Nolan
9 Goals-Cahill, Van der Vaart, Nasri
8 Goals-Malouda
7 Goals-Bale
6 Goals-Walcott, Dempsey, Nani
5 Goals- Downing
Assists
Arshavin so far has contributed 9 assists in the Premier League. Only Nani and Brunt have more assists than Arshavin, both with 10 assists, only 1 more than Arshavin.and this number so far is impressive.
His assists were against
Arsenal vs Blackpool 6-0 (1 assist)
Arsenal vs Bolton 4-1 (1 assist)
Arsenal vs West Brom 2-3 ( 1 Assist)
Man City vs Arsenal 0-3 (1 Assist)
Everton vs Arsenal 1-2 (1 Assist)
Arsenal vs Tottenham 2-3 (1 Assist)
Aston Villa vs Arsenal 2-4 (1 Assist)
Arsenal vs Fulham 2-1 (1 Assist)
Wigan vs Arsenal 2-2 (1 Assist)
These are his stats and you be the judge.
Some might say he is lazy, others might say he is out of shape, and some have said its time for him to leave. I say support him and lets try to left his spirit up and we will see Arshavin back to his best again.
I hope this video will refresh your memory of the little Tzar.
