No..Shamless Smith is a gifted individual. He is a global success that withholds a superior knowledge to football which cannot be surpassed. |
Mr. LVG, this is Ed. Ed's the winner for our Key103 'Meet Van Gaal' competition. | |

A couple of things: 1) Wow that movement from Arsenal up front is just delightful, and also the sheer numbers being poured forwards, often on the counter, undefendable. 2) Patrick Viera, his drive from midfield, exemplified there, is absolutely amazing, incredible raw athleticism exploiting space. However, these two points I think are indicative of a more fundamental notion here; that the game has changed significantly. The game is far less open these days, there simply would not be the space for Viera to drive into in this day and age. Managers pack the midfield and the emphasis is on solidity, relying on a couple of creative players to produce a spark up front. Whether you think that's a good thing or not, I think this change can be traced back to Mourinho's radical mastering of the PL with his machine-like Chelsea side. If you look at the team who succeeded their dominance, it was a United side with incredible flair players, and while it could be argued they clicked in 06/07, for the next two years it can quite credibly be argued that they never quite reached the attacking heights they might have done and instead it was the frugal defence who were to thank for their success. It's for this reason perhaps that Barca's CL win in 08/09 was so delighted in by many; it could be seen as the re-emergence of attacking football, albeit in a revised form. Was it a false dawn though? Another of Mourinho's teams, Inter, steamrollered their way to a historic treble with machine-like efficiency. Arsenal have not won the title since Viera left, but therein does not necessarily lie the answer. Legendary personnel such as him, Henry, Bergkamp and Pires, may not be around anymore, but is it as simple as saying 'they have not been replaced adequately'? Perhaps instead we should be talking about an evolved game with a stubborn Wenger disinclined to adapt his philosophy, as a reason for the relative lack of success of Arsenal since 03/04. |

Walcott is very close to the striker role according to Wenger. I was just saying to erm today he and Bale shouldn't be compared becuase Walcott's best attributes clearly are that of a striker I really hope he does get a chance.

There's no way he can play as the front man in a 433 or 451, maybe Wenger will stick him on the left so he can come inside easier, almost doing what Henry used to do, but starting from the left rather than drifting out there, but I can't see that either or he would have played him there a fair bit already. |

Against certain teams I think he wouldn't do too bad playing the lone striker role. His hold up play is good, always does it well when from the right when there is no pass on. Of course it would be totally different up against the CB's lol. I still think he would do a good job though. |

He is more or less playing as a striker now. He wouldn't succeed as the point man, triggle is correct, and we aren't moving to a 442. Walcott is fine where he is, he's got 6 goals in 3 starts this season, absolutely no reason to change. He can do everything he'd do as a central striker in a 442 from his position now. |
