The fox in the box

Hey... this Brazilian is potent stuff. He is the current stand-in skipper for Arsenal. Quiet, under-rated, a tough tackler, the brickwall before the Arsenal defence. The holding midfielder. He is Gilberto Silva.

He should earn the title as the "fox in the box". He is the one that Francis Jeffers fails to live up to.

His striking rate this season is awesome. His goals either got the Gunners out of jail, force a hard-fought draw, a comeback or launch a hail of goals. I guess the captaincy has something to do with it. He even takes cool penalties.

C'mon, Baptista, snap out of your "not enough matches to be sharp" talk and start scoring too!
