If this is a deliberate attempt by Wenger to add this aspect to our game, then Pennant will certainly play games as he is obviously more of a conventional winger-crosser than Ljungberg, who is more like yer traditional inside right. I really hope this new ploy is maintained because we need it the CL, where we so often have no plan B.
I see what you mean. I don't feel we did it enough in the first half. A lot of crosses went in to the box but no one was there to attack them, but in the second half RvP got into the box really well and had a good chance with a header, which is something we rarely see from us. It's good that Wenger has understood this weakness and is doing something about it.
