As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.
dunno9 about ur guys, but I would be concerned about playing anyone less than 6' 2" in central defense ... just watch any premiership game, and you would see that there are loads of high balls lobbed into the eighteen as a standard means of attack. So, no matter how good they are, sagna and diarra could struggle to play there.
Also, after watching yesterday's game, I am of the opinion that playing diaby in a defnsive position would be a waste .. the guy should be played in an attacking role. I now understand AW even suggesting he could play centre forward.
Get in there jens..one against the Spuds in 2 weeks time please!
He was actually playing for Dortmund against Schalke.
Did you see the way he ghosted into space at the far post (something our forwards could learn from!)? And as for the finish - now that's real quality from Jens. Maybe the suggestion from Rebel to play him up front has more merit to it than I initially thought!
Now your gonna have to trust e on this one fellas but I think it could work!
.................. Lewin
Rice . Bould . Lehmann . Fiszman
Steward . Akers . Brady . Almunia
.... Grimandi . Sammy Nelson
They can all do a job in those positions so we will be fine!
YOU DONT WIN LEAGUES BY HAVING TO PLAY PEOPLE OUT OF POSITION! ALL OF THIS "WE CAN SLOT WHATISNAME IN ALONGSIDE NEVERPLAYEDTHERE" IS NONSENSE! YOU KEEP PLAYING THAT GAME AND YOU SOON GET FOUND OUT! YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH IT IN THE CARLING CUP BUT NOT IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE! SHIT WE AINT DERBY COUNTY PLAYING ANDY TODD IN CENTRE MIDFIELD ARE WE?
