As Arsenal went a goal down again and somehow managed to salvage a draw, there were many things that demanded attention. I really hope the club does not get distracted by the sending off and the subsequent penalty. The team can easily shift the blame on to the referee that the foul took place outside the box and so on. But it would just cast a veil on our own poor performance. And I really hope we do not go down the road talking about a tough fixture list or a huge injury one. If as a club we dream of winning doubles and trebles, we would have a congested fixture list. We would have injuries over the season. We need to get on with it. But the recent matches have shown us that we are short of wingers. And when we are short of width we should not enforcibly try to play two wingers with a 4-4-2 or a 4-5-1 formation. I honestly believe Arsenal should try and play a 4-3-3 or a 4-3-1-2 formation. Why? For one, I think we have never had more central midfielders in a squad who can command a starting place with ease. I guess the line up in mid should be Gilberto, Fabregas, Diaby/Denilson and Rosicky playing just off the strikers. If need be this team can fall back temporarily to 4-42 with Denilson on the right wing. Also our central small pass play would improve with such a formation. Before you all pan me about who would be the third striker, I am willing to stick my neck out. I think Theo will find has form when he plays as a centre forward. His game is about running at defenders and not into spaces. Hence he would do well as a striker and put his bad form behind him.
I think theo should not play everymatch cos it will cause burn out for such a young player and it can affect some players when they play too much at a young age
