		<description><![CDATA[Good article. I agree with most of what you have said. I do however feel we are better covered out wide than you think. We have Hleb and Rosicky who were mostly in those positions last season. My one concern with them is that they are not natural wide players but a change in formation may address this ( more on that in a minute). Walcott will be more effective out wide this season but I feel we have a third option. We all know that Eboue may give us that option on the right and I for one think he will do very well there. He caused Spurs all sorts of problems when he came on there in the Carling cup with both our equalising goals coming from that flank. Sagna has given us this option on the right but I am also aware he can play left full back also. This means that if necessay we have Clichy, Traorae, Gallas and Sagna as left full backs. What this means to me is that we have the option of dropping either of the naturally left footed, pacy, attacking duo of Clichy or Traorae into the left midfield position with one of the other 3 behind them. Up front we don&#039;t have anyone as individually brilliant as Henry but I believe we have the best balanced strike force at Arsenal for the last few seasons. I believe the combination of these strikers will be prolific this season. I think Bendtner may see more action than you predict as I have a feeling that AW may opt to use a 4-3-3 system at times. This would suit Hleb and Rosicky if they were sitting behind a front 3 and were coming more infield. Anyway I feel that if you look at it this way we have a potent team that can adopt either a 4-4-2 or a 4-3-3 system.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wenger brought in Eduardo to finnish the countless chances that we missed last season, after last nights performance he looks no better than what we had already - gets in good positions and has good movement but still fails to score. I know this may be a bit harsh to some of you given that he has only been with us a few weeks, but as I have said before, we need to hit the new season running because if we dont we will get left behind and 9 months is a long time to be playing catch up.

We are going to be without Gilberto until September some time - even then he will have to get match fit again. As everyone knows we will not have Eboue, Toure and Adebayor during January, this is not counting injuries that we will almost certainly have. The team is short of at least 2 players and by 2 players I mean in their mid 20s with a bit of experiance not some 16 year old who may or may not be a world beater in 5 years time.

The games over the next 2 weeks should be interesting as we are up against very good teams in both tournaments, I just hope that we dont end up embarassed.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hleb looks better on the left than when he plays on the right. the combination of Walcott and him on the wings seem to be a good prospect. 
Robin maybe destined this season to be our Cristiano. If his works out, we could be champions in May.
Needs a fast start for the new season against the smaller teams, then, we will have a good chance of finishing with the TITLE.]]></description>
