I was thinking more of his game V Bolton a few weeks ago

But tonight, while all of the other Arsenal players were producing superb passes, Hleb was caught in possession quite a number of times, and his passing was not at the standard of the rest of the team. I think Pires is a better player.

And ?10 million for Hleb, who is probably technically better than anyone at our club to be fair, just isn't good enough to warrant such a fee and while the likes of Frabergas were outstanding, I felt like Hleb was not at the same level, and at times Eboue (who was outstanding as well) had to play right back and right mid.
