What do you think is the best formation for the current Arsenal team??
I believe they should play a 4-3-2-1, which can be converted to either a 4-5-1 (against the less physical teams) or 4-3-3 (against physical teams).
This is my best team formation for Arsenal:
Lehmann
Lauren/Eboue Toure Senderos Clichy
Hleb Gilberto Flamini
Fabregas Rosicky/V.Persie
Henry
And on the bench Among others:
Walcott
Baptista
Adebayor
When the Gunners want to convert to a 4-3-3 from a 4-5-1 from the above formation, Rosicky or Fabregas can be substituted by the three named (by me) on the bench.
I believe such a formation would give us versatility!!
Anyways, what do you guyz think.
Give your opinions here!!

Well, yours is a good suggestion, especially keeping Arsenal's style of play.
But I always prefer the traditional 4-4-2. But given the talent in the attacking midfielder positions along with the lack of established forwards except Henry make a clear 4-4-2 an unsuitable formation for Arsenal!!

Well, did you see the performance of the Arsenal strikers RV Persie and Adebayor in the 6-2 victory over Blackburn Rovers. I think if our strikers can be in such good form, thenmaybe we can keep playing a clear 4-4-2, rather than a 4-5-1.
A 4-5-1 formation can be implemented later in the match if we do get a lead in the scoreline.
Also, when we start with a 4-5-1, then even with the changes to make it 4-3-3 or a 4-4-2, the players might not be get that impetus and motivation in such a short time (substitutions usually happen in the last half an hour).
I just hope that RV Persie, Adebayor, Walcott and even Henry (when he returns) remain in the best of their forms till the end of the season!!
