Although it seems like a succession of massive blows, when you really examine the situation it is not as bad as it first appears. The Gunnars have been functioning without Gallas for seven weeks and in those weeks they were able to get back into the title race. While Sol is a defensive liability and it sucks having to push Song back, losing Gallas might not be as massive as it looks. In regards to Arshavin, he's a bit like Zizou where we might miss him for 89 minutes but in that one minute we see him he wins the match. Unfortunately, he's been missing for 90 minutes plus lately while Nasri and Walcott have been heating up. In short, we've already been missing him so we might only see his absence when it comes to depth. Now, Fabs on the other hand... We're going to miss him, a lot!
Especially after seeing them come back last night, I can't write off the Arsenal yet.
