    Their CB's lack pace, maybe Wenger has learnt the art of tactics? RvP isn't the quickest player in the world.

    Also, bad news, looks like Chamberlain's out injured, dodgy knee. has he been hanging out with Abou Diaby?

    Will it? He is not exactly the most confident finisher in the world is he?

    At this moment just trying something new might work for Theo. Would be a confidence boost for him to play in a position he thinks is his best. His pace will worry their CB's. Last season I thought Walcott was deadly in front of goal. Problem with him is clearly confidence and I think starting through the middle gives him the chance to prove something and might give him a much needed confidence boost.

    I think we should give him 45 minutes in the middle at least. if he keeps ****ing up, take him off, put Henry there instead.

    wenger will never try theo in the middle until his finishing improves. even when it did seem to be better, he stayed on the wings. wenger is too stubborn to go to a 442, and i agree, because it is much harder to have a passing game with that formation. it is too flat and uncreative. it suits wing play and counter attacks, but not much else.

    I suspect Robin may start this game on the bench. We would at least have some firepower if we had both RVP and Henry to bring on later in the game.

    I hope Theo is up front, I think he would be a totally different player there and his finishing becomes natural. Theo is a natural striker <ok>

    Why is it a 13:00 kick-off. The game doesn't seem to be on TV or Sky or ESPN? Just asking. 1-0 up already <ok> Keep Blackburn down the bottom for us.

    We definitely look good for another goal at least.

    How do these average players constantly score wonder free-kicks against us?

    That goal was the most typical thing ever. It doesn't even make me angry anymore.

    What the f*ck are you talking about? That wasn't a silly goal, that was just a good free kick.
