That said, I think he can do a job right side in a 4-3-3.<br /><br />But the point of my post is that Theo offers something different.

It's because they have an incredible attacking threat at the full back positions and most importantly in Maicon. Wenger likes preach "defend from the front." <br /><br />With Drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025322046446330547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328101106494598665.post-63275285279973560672010-02-23T14:37:41.619+00:002010-02-23T14:37:41.619+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025322046446330547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328101106494598665.post-26109142257559961822010-02-22T21:15:30.300+00:002010-02-22T21:15:30.300+00:00Thanks for the comments.

For me, the best we have looked all season þis Eboue right wing, possibly with Sagna behind.But my gamble is on the ultra attacking Eboue/Walcott partnership. Its got bags of potential.<br /><br />Sagna has done ok,but I think Wenger knows that Eboue is better Tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11195190597835036529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328101106494598665.post-91255323807506913022010-02-22T20:45:40.436+00:002010-02-22T20:45:40.436+00:00Well said.

Add to that his seeming inability to look up before firing a ball in, gives him the air of one for whom the the match is a kind of distraction and not the point.
