I don't think Swansea's going to make it easy for Arsenal tonight.
Particularly for Van Persie. I think he's going to be tightly marked tonight.
With the lack of defence penetration, i'm worried that we can only surpass their defense by attacking set piece.
The best players on field that is capable of passing and dribbling penetration is Gervinho and Arshavin, but one of them is still suspended and another cannot work alone. Arteta, Mertesacker and Park's duty tonight are gonna be massive. They're responsible for what Arsenal has been lacking off since Henry's era.
Arteta/Park (Set Piece attacking), Mertesacker (Set Piece def/att).
The thing is that.... i don't think Wenger is willing drop his beloved Van Persie of his set piece duty, despite Arteta's talent.
anyway, what do you guys think about Van Persie anyway? I don't think he is perfectly suited as lone striker, in fact, i think he fits perfectly in Bergkamp's role
Arteta will take the free kicks on the left which requires a right footed player while Van Persie will take the free kicks on the right which requires a left footed player.
