I believe Arsenal should have had Hleb and Baptista start in their places. Second, If Wenger won't go 4-4-2 then he should at least consider 4-4-1-1 with Baptista as a second striker behind Henry. This could make all the difference as we often have a bunch of players in the opponents half but only 1 in the box.
I thought Walcott might cause problems just because he is the opposite of Bolton players. But I felt Baptista should have started as well to balance it out a bit.
Oh well, I just feel the players played poorly, I usually can't bring myself to point the finger at Wenger. It's just so disappointing to see us play this poorly. The Untouchables, CL finalists... and now this.

why do u guys like arsenal?
I had no choice in the matter (my father raised me right ).
It's amazing how much the team has changed from even 10 years ago. Wenger has done an amazing job.
I wonder, if someone else needs to take it to the next level?
Would love to see Arsene win the CL, he'd deserve it.
