What in God's name does he offer? Poor on the ball, legs gone and low energy levels.
We can now see through the sham of the constant barking, pointing and so -called cajoling of team mates without doing his basic job on the pitch.
Flamini was finished as a decent player when he left Milan and that Wenger thought it expedient to reward him with a three year deal when he just turned up the training ground to keep fit is a darn reflection of Arsene's poor judgement in squad building for a good few years now.
Going forward, we must bring Coquelin and even Hayden into that DM role now . They are technically better, offer more physical presence and running power than two Flaminis combined.

Flamini is far too slow, he just has to recieve and pass the ball but he can't keep up with the pace of the game

He's basically a less hyped version of Gerrard these days

Watched him carefully when he replaced Arteta . The Spurs player just strolled past him; Chadli, Lamela, even the one-paced Erickson.
Would be stuff of nightmares Flamini coming up against the Duracell charged energies of a Matic or Ramires.

He was brought in to do a job for a short while an it worked. The trouble is that short time has now become, a regular player the next season, which cannot be right.

Flamini's distribution is actually underrated. His passing percentage is always in the 90's and despite yesterday, he rarely gets caught on the ball. His main shortcoming is his poor positional awareness. He overcommits himself to hunting the ball and gets dragged out of position and he doesn't have the legs anymore to recover quickly when out of position.

Any championship player in that position can pass the ball sideways to the centre backs and full backs and pile up 99 percent completion.
The guy's been finished a long while now and should be shown the door as soon as we can find a mug to take him off our hands.

He should have been transfer listed last window, should have signed schneiderlin or carvalho, money is there and it strengthens the team

Flamini did alright last season during the first half of the season faded a bit towards the end. Not sure what's happened to him.

Why blame Flamini? Blame Wenger for not signing anyone. And if Szez did put us under pressure with a silly throw out it wouldn't have been a goal.

Eriksen shrugged him off the ball. Blame Wojiech all you want, but Flamini, as the defensive mid, should at least be able to hold off a player the size of Eriksen. Flamini is like playing with 10 men and an almost guaranteed yellow card.
