In a 4-3-3 I'd have Chamakh and Walcott at the top with RvP in the middle sat slightly deeper to feed them. I agree that Chamakh is a leading striker/target man, but I think RvP can play the deep-lying supplier.
I know Wenger likes to play two nippies either side of a leading striker (Arshavin and Walcott or Nasri flanking Chamakh) but I think they could play together.
It'll be interesting anyway to see the teamsheet this weekend to see what he'll do!
So are you asking RVP to track back? Won't work!
That's a very FM formation with 3 central strikers.
ATM we have 1 striker with 2 outside wingers which drift in. They also track back.
If thats the case why did we buy Chamakh or why didnt we sell RVP? one as cover for the other? i cant see it!!! When they are both fully fit they will play in the same team
Hang on Flash! You were only quoting the other day about the quality through the squad.
For once we have options up front. Yes cover or rotation even different option.
The person who's really in trouble would be Bendtner.
If AW does pick them both (which is tactically stupid) I bet he'd stick RVP outwide!

Which was a 4-4-2 not 4-3-3 as we've just discussed.
Boomer when did i post about quality throughout the squad? I genuinely cant remember. Anyway i cant see Wenger buying Chamakh to have him and RVP in a rotational thing, i think RVP could and should play wide left (or right) of the forward 3 with Chamkh central and Bendtner sold

Just a comment in the Wenger "I have no room for new signings." thread. You mentioned 3 key area's which need strengthening.
What you said about RVP wide on either flank was what I mentioned. I don't think it would fully work for us. RVP is too slow and would also require him to track back.
whats the weather like in London? travelling down from Leeds so dont want to get there and have Arsenal call off the game for H&S reasons like they did last season in the CC.

This defies belief for me.........we have a natural No.10 striker (playing off the front man) in arshavin and have marooned him on the wing for 2 seasons but now we are going to change the system to accomodate rvp and chamakh ? Dont get me wrong cos personally I would be a lot happier reverting to 4-4-2 (or 3-5-2 even) but jeez play the best players in their best positions
Anyway onto the game itself and I am predicting a comfortable 3-1 if we score in the first 30mins or otherwise it could be a long afternoon ending up with a 1-1 or 2-1 late winner

I don't get this with arshavin, people seem to ignore his lack of effort and make excuses for him saying hes being played out of position. He might do well but he'd be much more of a hindrance imo with the effort hes been putting in. Also look at barca's front three, is villa a natural left winger?
