Opinions Opinions Opinions… Heres mine, as an Arsenal fan the one thing that pains me is the tactics playing this 4-5-1 clearly dosent work,
It seems the only one that believes in it is AW the fans want a change in tactics we dont have the quality of players that we use to have anymore, the sad thing is Arsenal have gone from this free flowing, xciting attacking football to slow boring nagative football over the last couple of seasons, and it seems that things arnt gonna change . OMG what a long miserable season we have ahead (

I think I have to disagree with you Chris. Van Persie is a great player and excellent striker, but I can see that it may benefit the team more by having him in a more creative role.

He would still get goals, we can see that, but he would give us more penetration with his skills a bit further down the park where it matters and where we have struggled to get through certain teams. I think Bergkamp is spot on.

Sometimes in football you need a younger, fresher point of view. Bring in Bergkamp as assistant or attacking coach I say. Still need a defensive one though.

Gooner4life&beyond says:

You are right about not replacing Cesc though, Arteta is very good, but we needed him and someone else to play together. Ramsey is not the answer.

Berkamp is suggesting this so taht arsene will buy a real striker..
we need a top class striker bsides Van Persie.

I agree with bergkamp. It’s just that it’ll harden wenger’s heart even if he was thinking of doing it. He just like to prove everybody wrong. The fact that none of former players(except rice) is working with arsenal’s 1st team shows that wenger is d obstacle 2 it. Bergkamp said in that interview dt he has not sold his house in london & he would still like to work with a team in london. We know d team he’s talking about. I know if he was contacted, he wouldn’t hesitate a bit neither do I think we offered vieira a job b4 he went 2 city.

Wenger has become so stupid to understand the basics, Bergkamp poited it out correctly, he knows perfectly well the scoring form of Van Persie he he said clearly that he would be better of in his(Bergkamps) role which was also central, Mr Wenger, so he can help other players to also score.

How will 26 goals in 32 games by one man help any team if no one else is scoring damn it?!

Bergkamp was suggesting a change in formation and Wenger knows it but he won’t do it because he is the one who thinks stubbornness is the way out.

Wenger is so good that he is capable of changing our season and making us Premier League winners by a huge margin, but he won’t do it because it will mean reversing his plans and tactics meaning he will have rlistened to a voice of reason and that hurts him.

We all get furious with Bendtner, but when did he ever play with Van Persie upfront in a 4-4-2 position and we failed to score?, why the hell was he being played on the wing?. Theo Walcott tends to gravitate towars the centre to combine with Van Persie with devastating effect showing clearly that he should be partnering him up front instead of being burdened with wing play, after all he is not such a good wing player, he has poor crossing ability and not very useful defensively, so why insist playing him on the wing?

Why does Wenger play players out of position all the time and he repeats it over and over agains despite it having disastrous effect?, Yes he turned Thierry Henry but everyone is not Thierry Henry, and after all, Henry still maintained playing his was from the left.
