Is Anelka past his best?

[ZanSnake 1,211]

Anelka is a top class player, and like what has been said, he is just tired. And, that's is where Kakuta/Sturridge should be used in order to give the guy a break.

You have to remember, that when he joined Arsenal he started as a winger and then Wenger started to use him as a forward. Maybe that could be the reason why he hasn't been defending the right side as it should, nor why he was deep. He is simply the best finisher we have, Borini and Sturridge i think are the only ones with the potential to have the same skill at finishing like him. I hope he is given a rest soon so he can start a goalscoring streak and show the doubters here is still a big part to a small depth team.
