Eduardo- wasted on the wings

With the 4-5-1 for a lot of the game last night he was wasted on the wings, and he was banging in goals up front. What is the point of playing him out on the wing?

Same could be said for Theo

Well maybe Theo has more of an impact on the wing, he is quicker then Dudu.

I can never understand the Eduardo on the left business. He is a goalscorer, a poacher, if he is to be played then has to be played as a striker or you take away the most important part of his game ie finishing. He is not a winger but a goalscorer

That was what i wrote last night on the milan match thread... totally agree Justin

Eduardo is a fox in the box, who scores goals. his goal scoring record speaks for itself. he should be playing up top with adebayor. i have also noticed eduardo has started taking corners now, wonder who's idea that was?

I agree with everyone on here. Eduardo is wasted on the left flank. He is supposed to be a "fox in the box" not a left-wing wizard. Imagine van Nisterlooy playing on the wing for Real Madrid or Holland

About Theo, he's playing on the wing right now because it'd be tougher playing through the middle for him. Arsene Wenger has said that in future Walcott'll be a central striker:

â€œIn the future he will certainly be a central player. But at the moment with his back to goal, he does not look completely comfortable yet."
