The arrivals of new experienced players is a sound demarcation of the end of Wenger's youth policy. After all Fergi is right when he says he won't let a world class club deprived of silver ware for 6 years. There was time when players wanted to join Arsenal. Now players want to leave it. The only reason is lack of silver ware.
Crosses have never been in Wenger's tactics. He is always been trying to emulate Barcelona. Indeed we emulated them at occasions, but can we cope upto that level? With quality players leaving the club. Will Arteta who himself is injury prone and out of form for quiet a time now, be able to fill the gap left by Fabregas? Benyoun, the player who hasn't even played for quiet a lot of time now be able to fill in the gap left by Wilshere? and with Vermaelen out a lot of pressure is on Per mertesacker as he will probably be accompanied by novices who have failed the defence a numerous times now.
A lot contributes to this state of affairs. The current tactical positioning of only RVP in front line with little assistance from Walcott and Arshavin from side lines. These tactics have no sense. As game after game we see Arshavin losing ball and Walcott running into the defence just to shot wide from post. If ever the goal does come, it comes from a through ball from a mid fielder and not from cross.

We have to accept that we are in mayhem at present stage. Everything is falling apart. The most suitable step for now is to change the formation to 4:4:1:1 now. Y? because we have got a new sneaky attacker now, Park Chu Young. I saw him playing in world cup and his latest hat-trick in internationals show that the players looks promising. If we play him behind RVP, he can actually sneak by many defenders and with Gervinho and Walcott on the flanks, the attack could really be well ignited.
The best first team for now will be
Striker: Robin van Persie and Young, with young playing just behind RVP
Midfield: Arteta and Benyoun in center. Gervinho and Walcott as wingers.
Defence: Central would be Mertesacker and Kocielny (lack of choice) Flanks can be covered by Santos and Sagna.
It is time we change the over all tactics. More over playing behind the line would much suit for Arsenal. The midfield should act defensively as defence is our major weakness.
