intriguing prospect of rvp playing in the hole.
I think the bolded part is an important point. Everything he does is at such an incredible speed, any player would struggle to make good decisions moving at thinking as such speed."He is more electric than he has been to date because he is sharp. I like today the fact he mixed well the final ball and the finishing. That is always a sign that the player is always more mature. Let's not forget that what he does is at a very high pace so it's not always easy to make the right decision but today I think he got many decisions in the final third right."
Some people here predicted Barca to win 9-0 at Camp Nou against Rubin Kazan last year...M+D said:I'm sure we beat Slavia Prague 7-0 at the Emirates ^^

If you get really tight to Cesc, Jack or Rosicky/Nasri will make you suffer. One things for sure, our forwards, whichever 3 we choose, would see much more of the ball in much more threatening positions - and that service, or lack of, has too often been the problem, especially in the big games.

He was very quiet against Liverpool, and he had his moments today, but still didn't really express himself. I suspect that once Cesc and RvP are fit, we're going to see three in the middle with Cesc, Diaby and Song, and then some combo of Arshavin, Walcott, RvP and Chamakh up front. I know that whoever doesn't start will give us an excellent option coming off the bench.

I don't think we'll play with 3 creative midfielders, though. We'll most likely field Song, Diaby and Cesc as first choice. I think Wenger pretty much considers Diaby as a staple of this team, and deploys him whenever possible.
