Alexis Sanchez is so important to Arsenal

Hardly a huge statement but, with each passing fixture, Arsenal's reliance on the Chilean grows and grows! Even after the former Barcelona ace missed the penatly, you just knew he'd dust himself off and be the man to deliver for Arsene Wenger's side.

Giroud cannot be relied on

The Frenchman has his critics, however, the striker's record certainly means he deserves more credit than he gets. But, the fact Giroud could so easily get himself sent-off, an instant three-game ban, shows he isn't the man to spearhead Arsenal back to the earlier glory days of Wenger's tenure.

Tomas Rosicky still has a lot to offer

The former Borussia Dortmund midfielder has struggled to even make Arsene Wenger's matchday 18 at times this season. However, the midfielder was handed a rare start today and grabbed his chance with an impressive performance and a well-taken goal.
