Blackburn Vs Arsenal | Premiership 03/05/10

[Massa]

We have never played a 4-3-3 since RVP got injured.

We have never played a 4-3-3 since RVP got injured.

Yes, we have, this team has no defensive dicipline however and therefore lose our shape when we are under pressure.

[Massa]

In attack aswell, with RVP out the team Cesc is moved further forward to fill the creative void, evolving into:

DM CM
RM Cesc LM
ST

When is should be:

DM
Cesc CM
RF ST LF

Also the reason why Wenger is opting for RM's such as Eboue & Rosicky over RF's such as Walcott or Vela.

Looks like its gonna be this folks:

Fabianski
Sagna Campbell Silvestre Clichy
Diaby Song
Walcott Nasri Rosicky
RvP

How did you come up with that?

We play a 4-3-3.

This will be the lineup.

Flappy

Sagna - Campbell - Silvestre - Clichy

Song
Nasri - Diaby

Walcott - RvP - Rosicky

that's a bit pedantic given that except for song all of our front players float about and end up all over the pitch.
we play one man as the main striker with 4 others who float around him and he drops deep/wide.

it could easily be listed as 4-5-1, 4-1-2-3, 4-3-3, 4-2-3-1

there's no rigid formation so whats on the team sheet is pretty irrelevent.

[Plymouth Gooner]

I still really want to see Bendtner in the middle and RVP on the rhs of a front three.

[GunnGunn]

AW says we play a 4-3-3 and have done throughout the entire season, i don't care if our players all have no spine and can't hold their shape, its still a 4-3-3...

[Massa]

Wenger actually calls it a 4-1-4-1. I wouldn't put it down to the players being unable to hold their shape, as Arsene has been the one to push Cesc forward.

Does he really? Did he tell you that personally?

Because all i have ever heard him say both live and on the website is 4-3-3.

[Fabrestuta]

ESPN always show the Monday game, Arsenal play on Monday and what are the showing? f**k all that's what.

[Massa]

I'll try and find the quote.

[FrustratedGooner]

we dont play a 4-3-3 for example when we attack all 3 of out "strikers" are never forward together....if you look at barca when they attack all 3 of there strikers in a line.
we play 4-1-4-1 and even 4-5-1

Here's what formations we have played this season. Its been the 4-3-3 every game, except for hull when a 4-1-4-1 was used, and Tottenham and Man City where the 4-2-3-1 was used.

[Massa]

I trust what I see with my eyes not what some site tells me.
