Focus: Arsenal's perceived inconsistency

Fatigue and injuries are playing a large part in Arsenal's consistency.

The last two times they had at least 6 days rest:

Dec 16 - 23 - 6.5 days rest - next game at home to Blackburn. Result Arsenal win 6-2
Key Players MissingTH, Gallas, Eboue

Jan 14-21 - 7.5 days rest - next game at home to ManU. Result Arsenal win 2-1
Key Players MissingGilberto, Gallas

Seems to me that Hleb and RVP play an integral part in Arsenal Winning games. Also important is player freshness.
