I don't get why Arsene plays him out wide and RVP in the middle, they're both better in the other position; RVP is well good for Holland on the right wing, and Bendtner's a good target man, especially with how much we cross the ball.
You're not the only one puzzled by that decision but it's because RVP will not track back well enough when we're defending.
He doesn't have the stamina to be constantly running back and forth where Nik does. RVP can't be benched because he's one of the highest paid players in the squad now.
rvp playing at wings means he gotta help defending and that'll make us conceed uncountable free-kicks in our half and get him constantly booked
Oh yeah I forgot that bit! He can't tackle for sh*t and always gives away free kicks in dangerous area's!
The only time Nik will be played in the centre is if RVP doesn't play. In matches he's gone to the centre for about 3 minutes in each game but RVP goes straight back in the middle.
RVP is the only striker in the squad who can't play on the wings for us. He can for his country as he doesn't need to track back for sh*t, but we can't afford that as it'd keep our full backs from marauding forwards...
but having said that about RVP needs to track back, I don't recall Messi doing much tracking back.
