Up until last year, [my wife] and I have been huge fans of Sagna and Clichy, but last season we got really frustrated with both of them. Defensively they are great, but too often they make the pass (cross) that makes us lose the ball. Especially Sagna C-A-N-N-O-T cross the ball. Always too low, or to an opponents feet, and then we are caught in a counter attack. Against Liverpool Sagna made 6 attempts to cross the ball into the box- all unsuccessful! Which must be considered a crime now when we have Chamakh who is a beast in front of the goal and famous for his headers. Check out the attached chalkboard.
It's interesting to see that only Clichy had a worse completion percentage than Sagna. Perhaps my theory of missing RvP and Fabregas is only part of the story. If my friend is correct, it won't matter who Arsenal stick in the middle up front if they can't get them the ball due to poor passing.
