Olympique Marseille vs Arsenal, at The Gunning Hawk

The type of player that would suit us is a poacher

up front

I want RVP in the centre behind the striker

@sriram: maybe park could do so

we havent seen much from him yet to rate

Park could be

i dont think we have good enough midfielders to supply service to a poacher

poacher doesn't need too much service

they have poacher's luck

The system is what defines our midfielders are good enough for

right place at right time

Pires

like

We need a player who would get on to rebounds

rebounds? we dont shoot

half the time, you feel there arent enough players in the box

agreed sriram

actually out of so many forwards in EPL now, hernandez is the best poacher so far

midfield runs are what are lacking

if we can get a balance  between going into the box and defending the counter

if only vela fufilled his football manager 2008/9 potential

I think we can be deadly

vela was once good in finishing

until the Arsenal DNA got into him

too fancy in front of goal

Vela is a player who has looked out of sorts isn't he? I wish he could perform well, he has all the tricks in his cabinet, just has to work harder to get up there

he still is imo just needs a run of games, theo got a run of games for years, as did bendtner

He never really played much in Arsenal colors to have arsenal dna

Yes, he is a confidence player

DNA u got it from practices, training

if vela played as much as bendtner and theo then he would of been world class by now i reckon

Bendtner in the centre wasnt so appealing because the movement of the false no.9 is what is important in this system

vela could have been our very own Hernandez

but......

sigh

the point of this system is for RVP (who plays that position) to draw the defenders forwards to allow space for our wingers and midfielders

This system has really killed our other forwards, you have to agree

however it has been just the type of formation that suits Van

made us one dimensional, and it isn't really bringing people in anymore, we rely on him way too much for my liking

One dimensional

anywho good discussing arsenal with you fellow gooners, im out, take care. victoria concordia crescit

but still we have got results from this formation

Yes great to discuss

tata

Good night and Gunner for life

Smile on our faces after a happy victory

What about ramsey playing on the wing?

no...
