Get real. The bloke is one of the most talented players in the country, but is barely worth a place on our bench at the moment. He needs to sort himself out, then we can discuss how he's been let down by Wenger and the board.
physical decline + bad form = bad performances. his days as a starter are done - if he regains his form, he can be a useful option off the bench.
he IS being played out of position, though. i don't know why wenger would (rightly) get credit for moving henry off the wing to up front, but arshavin gets no understanding from the supporters that he is simply not a midfielder.
and it is also true that he's been the only one to show up on numerous occasions. yea, he's playing crap, but lets cut him some slack.
