Arsene is going to have to sit down either Hoyte or Clichy. Neither can join the attack effectively like Lauren, Eboue, or Gallas from the wing spots.

Hoyte still seems happy just to make the first 11 and Clichy just seems to be a carbon copy of Cole, all speed no touch.

Except for that hiccup in CSKA Moscow's home, Djorou was holding down the middle of the park allowing Gallas to run free. I am not sure why Arsene decided to change what was working. Surely he must see that you have to have a decent attacking back on one side in our attacking formation.

That push forward by Gallas brings in another goal scoring threat that the opponents defenders have to honor because they know that if they let him set up to take a shot he is going to put it on goal. Clichy and Hoyte will not do this. They will run forward looking for someone to pass to. If I see this I am sure EPL coaches know this as well.

If we get back Senderos and Eboue and they both start on the wings. We will be a tough act in the back.
