It's interesting. I remember Bergkamp suggesting that RvP should play in the hole. I think at times, Arsenal could have really benefited from that but...it's a little hard to say. Speaking of Bergkamp, with Liam Brady leaving Arsenal, people are saying/hoping that Bergkamp replaces him. It's a little hard seeing him leaving Ajax...but we'll see
He played as a 'false 9' for a large portion of 09/10 so he was essentially a hole player, just with the dual responsibility of the '9' and '10.' When he started playing as more of a CF it seemed to me that Wenger believed there was plenty of creativity in the side with Cesc in the middle, and wanted to optimize the use of RvP's finishing ability. IIRC, Cesc led Europe in created chances for a long time while at Arsenal.
Crazy loss for Dortmund. They don't defend nearly as well without Subotic. Oh well, this Bayern side can't be caught anyway.
Hoping City don't drop anymore points. There's still Juve/Napoli in Serie A, but the more down-to-the wire title races, the better.
