Untold Arsenal: Arsenal News. Supporting the Lord Wenger in all he does » Arsenal to revert to 4-4-2?
by Tony Attwood
Just a little story that I noticed, in case it is of interest.
There’s an interesting piece in the Guardian today which suggests that the team will change from 4-3-3- over to 4-4-2 for the game against Fulham.
I have to admit when Eboue is in the team I do sometimes lose a sense of the formation, since he seems to turn up in all sorts of positions. Of course that is no bad thing – if Eboue is fooling me looking from the stands he’s going to be doing the same on the pitch to the opposition.
But still the line up for sunday that they give against Fulham is…
Fabianski
Sagna Campbell Silvestre Clichy
Walcott Eboue Nasri Diaby
Van Persie Arshavin
Their subs are Mannone, Traoré, Djourou, Gibbs, Henderson, Eastmond, Vela, Mérida
It certainly is a possibility with all these people missing from the line up (and again with dates taken from the same paper)
Song (knee, Jun), Rosicky (ankle, Jun), Denílson, Bendtner (both groin, Jun), Almunia (thumb, Jun), Vermaelen, Gallas (both calf, Jun), Fábregas (leg, Jun), Ramsey (leg, Oct)
Nine players out – which is just about the most I have ever seen.
