Not sure. It was unclear before he got hurt whether he would be playing a more advanced role this year. Also depends on who we sign in January I'd imagine. Jackie boy likely won't be back until February though.

Can someone explain to me Arteta's role out there? Is he just there to recycle possession? I really am not a fan of his positioning, he is often found even with Song or just narrowly ahead/behind him on the pitch.
I wholeheartedly agree that Arsenal since Cesc left has no one on the squad who can get people open with passes, or attack a conservative defense and create opportunities. Today was just another clear indication, forcing balls out wide hoping we could whip them in and somehow get a coal.
With Wilshere healthy I really don't know where to put him or whom to bench. I would be fine with him coming in the center of the park for Arteta, but if that were the case I'd like to push Ramsey even higher up, like a true attacking mid. I don't know how Wilshere would fare playing in Ramsey's current spot. I don't know well Wilshere would play being up so high, since we know how good he is in the center.

Damn. Wish we could have gotten the 3 against Fulham.

There aren't many players who favor one foot as much as Vela does.

so if wenger is worried about the wear and tear on RVP, then he needs to buy fricking players worth a damn. That can play against the weeker sides and still score goals from time to time.

We named a pretty strong squad for MCFC. Young Guns says Gervinho, Arshavin, Kos, and TV5 all in line to start.

Not a bad game. someon explain what formation we went to after park went out. what exactly was benayouns role?
I wouldnt mind seeing us play a 4-1-2-1-2.
kos mert verm santos
song
aoc gerv
ramsey
rvp theo
the back 4 can change up when sagna and gibbs are healthy. vermaelen can play lb also, pretty sure thats his spot for belgium. I like miquel, needs more pt. prob would help if he played with 3 other guys that were better than what we had out tonight.
midfield we would have arteta, arshavin, benayoun, rosicky, diaby, the young gunners, and hopefully wilshere at some point.
up top you got park and chamakh.
I think this could help spread the experience around so we dont have to come out with a squad full of kids.

or leave theo on the wing and put park or chamakh up top with rvp. We need to switch it up. the young guys got some fire too them, but not experienced enough.

I know mid-week can be a grind, but no way a club like Arsenal should win a Champions' League match and then come home to Emirates and not grab 3 against Fulham.
If this gets to be habitual then depth--or stamina--is a problem.

Eh, when you play the same starting 11, then it should be hard. We have to get rid of some of the dead weight. The Young Guns needs more game time.

I'm not mad about it because our form has been so great lately that we can afford a couple of dropped points without it killing us. I think the defense has been under-appreciated during this stretch; we have given up 14 goals in the last 15 games with despite Sagna missing most of them.

thats why i wouldnt mind switching it up. mix youth and experience, that way when players need a rest we dont have a starting 11 with about 30 starts betwern them.

Lots of Twitter rumors floating around that we're going to sign this guy in January. Marco Fabian

He looks to old and female for Arsene.

Yeah, I know some guys have long hair, but that could really be a hindrance to him out on the pitch.
Posted on 12/1/11 at 6:51 pm to glassman
Took me a second to get that... 
Don't really know who he is, but I do remember this goal.
edit: His first was sick too.
