Van Persie

Arsenal play with a formation that has one striker.
Shock horror it is the one striker who scores the majority of our goals!!

But as I said earlier, without Walcott, RvP wouldn't have got the opener.
Without Vermaelen we would have been under great pressure.
Without Song, Ramsey and Arteta we wouldn't have totally dominated possesion.

"Which is why I said that given his recent injury record you should pray he stays fit. It's a fair comment but you Gooners are so precious."

He has picked up just one injury in more than a year and all it did was rule him out for one game. I think his injury record is just fine at the moment.

Batman he's only once played more than 20 PL in one season since he's been at Arsenal. He has injury problems. He's looking brilliant in 2011 but you can't deny that he has a poor injury record. As I said, just pray he stays fit this season as Chamakh and Gervinho aren't good enough to lead the line.

Considering that you've come on here with comments clearly designed to wind people up, it's not surprising you got some replies slating your own team, especially considering how high and mighty Liverpool fans were 6 weeks ago.

Are you lot not able to have a conversation about football. This is nothing to do with Arsenal v Liverpool. As somebody who loves football in general I'm jut making a point that you're not as good a the others. Spurs have Adebayor, Defoe and Pav, City have Balotelli, Dzeko and Aguero, Utd have Rooney, Hernadez and Berbatov, and Chelsea have Anelka, Drogba, Anelka and Torres. You only have RVP which is why you should be praying he stays fit all season, as he hasn't managed that once since being at Arsenal. It's not a wind up, it's the truth

Chelsea have Anelka, Drogba, Anelka and Torres.

Rather have Chamakh, Park, Walcott, Gervinho and Arshavin tbh
On current form all 3 (or 4) Chelsea strikers are awful!

And Adebayor, Defoe and Pav?
Another bunch of blunt strikers.

Rather have Chamakh, Park, Walcott, Gervinho and Arshavin tbh

------------

Proof that supporting a team really does make you blind to everything else. Park unproven, Chamakh a terrible footballer, Arshavin is inconsistent and lazy, Gervinho too hit and miss.

Chelsea and Spurs strike force is much better than yours

But they have scored more than the Chelsea 3 put together, and the Spurs 3 put together!!

You only have RVP which is why you should be praying he stays fit all season, as he hasn't managed that once since being at Arsenal.

We have Walcott who can play down the middle, Park who you've yet to see and Chamakh but he'll be going on loan in January.
We also have Joel Campbell, who is an exceptional talent and if he did not require a work permit, he'd have gotten a few games under his belt. We also have the technically gifted Afobe who is also injured (Barcelona wanted him last Summer; we said no).

Anyway, why do you care? Wenger is smart enough to realise that van Persie can get injured relatively easily and I think we will at least try and go for a back up striker or a creative attacking player in January. We will have players going out of Arsenal too.

Anelka - past it and can't hit a barn door at the moment. He's like Gervinho in front of goal.

Drogba - when he's having a strop, like he currently is, Chelsea may as well be playing with 10 men.

Torres - too erratic.

Adebayor - fair enough

Defoe - like Torres, far too erratic. He'll either play really well or he'll be non-existent.

Pavluychenko - talented striker but doesn't have the work ethic or the attitude to go with his talent.

The only side who has a real set of quality strikers in terms of depth of the squad is Manchester United.
