Lukas Podolski Thread

He has a good record but Pod isn't suited to the left wing. When he gets into good positions he'll delivery a good ball or unleash a beast of a shot but we need more from our wingers and he's heavily dependent on someone creating an opportunity for him but proper wingers create opportunities for themselves. Pod rarely takes on his man or dribbles. I think he'd be best used as a number 10 or striker because his goal and assist record is good. He's deadly in an around the box but further back he's not very good and has anonymous streaks. I hope Wenger finds a use for him and doesn't pull an Arsahvin/Chamakh on him.

yep pretty much.

Once again it's down to wengers inability to play players in their best position.

...and remember he was bought to convince us we'd compensated for RVP. :crying:

And yet he seems to score all his goals from a central position.

Time for him to be a proper no 9
