Insight Into The Mind Of Wenger?

TEAMtalk | Football | Premier League | Arsenal News - Denilson fit to face Rovers
Arsenal (from): Almunia, Clichy, Koscielny, Vermaelen, Sagna, Arshavin, Fabregas, Song, Walcott, Chamakh, van Persie, Fabianski, Diaby, Vela, Wilshere, Rosicky, Eboue, Gibbs, Djourou.
This from TEAMtalk.  For those who don't know, most Premier League teams list all of the players they are bringing in the squad for a given match by position (i.e., two goal keepers first, then defenders, you get the idea).  Arsenal typically list their starting XI first followed by their reserves.  The fidelity on this method of determining their line-up isn't 100% but it has generally served us well over the years.  For that reason, I give you this link and extract from the article.  If this is to be believed then Arshavin, Theo, RvP, Chamakh, and Cesc will all start in an extremely attacking-oriented line-up.  Is it enough to make your selections based on? I'm not sure but I figured it was worth getting the information to you so you could make your own decision.

    From Mr Wenger

    "I don't know what I will do yet," he said. "But one thing is for sure. You cannot play 4-4-2 with Arshavin, Walcott, Van Persie, Fabregas and Chamakh. That is not a system, that is suicide.


    Maybe he will play 4-3-3. I don't know.

  5. No start for Marouane Chamakh, so I guess we can discard this train of thought. Abou Diaby was the missing piece to the Arsene puzzler this week.
