what I more meant is have another out and out striker. RVP and Baptista play a more withdrawn role and Wolcott isn't ready just yet for a full time role

Something I don't understand is how en vogue it is now to have one striker up front with another attacker playing behind him. Seems like last WC every European team had this setup.

I think with a guy like Henry, who isn't a great finisher but is deadly with space, he should have another guy up there so that the defense can't just pack it in on him. He was bad today, and I think a big problem was that he always had a couple guys there when he got the ball. I think another striker in there would free him up more.

Obviously the result is known here but watching on ESPN that was a pretty nice finish from Raul. It wasn't extremely difficult, but you see a lot of guys miss that or take too long.

I have been reading a few things which mention Wenger doing just that, with someone like Ade, RVP, or Baptista up front.

Did anyone see the ultra ridiculous dive in the Celtic game?

It was by an AC Milan player, truly comical. Also funny is how AC Milan's manager was told to put his cigarette out by stewards as Park Head is a non smoking ground. He must have been hanging for the half time whistle to go have a furtive puff on a f a g in the shower.

Henry looks like absolute trash

I thought Ade had a much worse game. This team really needs Van Persie back.
