When it comes to helping the team yes. But when it comes to scoring goals, no.

Yeah, but Hleb ended up with four goals in all competitions last year. Two in the prem, and two in Europe.

1 against Fulham on August 12
1 against Sparta Prague on August 15
1 against Slavia Prague on October 23
1 against Ready on November 12

And I don't think any of those were from outside of the box. In fact I know that for sure. He just was to gun shy for most of Arsenal's liking.

And that was it for his scoring last year. In his position in the team, he should have been scoring goals. Hell, even Gallas had more goals. And in nearly just half the same amount of appearances, Rosicky had 7.
