Questions for Arsenal.

[FPT]

- Darren Bent has 8 goals in his last 10 games against Arsenal, including the game at Craven Cottage, as well as 2 in his last 2 starts. Should he start?

- Dimitar Berbatov has been linked with Arsenal, but with Bent's goal scoring form against Arsenal, would you bench him, or start him with Bent? Obviously if you wouldn't start Bent, you'd have Berbatov there.

- Adel Taarabt's role? Strangely, his best performances for Fulham have been as a false 9. Would you drop both Berbatov and Bent for him? Or play him left? Or play him behind the striker?

- Does Pajtim Kasami play? He played very well vs. Norwich, but would his inclusion lead to the disruption of the 433? I'm not convinced that Kasami can be a true central midfielder yet.

- Ashkan Dejagah starts. No questions.

- With Amorebieta out, do we go for the experience of Senderos or the impressive Burn?

- Also with Amore out, do we go Riise or Richardson?

So many headaches for Rene Meulensteen, and many would say positive headaches, but what Fulham need is consistency, and consistent performances are helped by consistent line ups.

I'd go for:

-------------------------------Stekelenburg----------------------------------
Riether--------------Hangeland---------------Burn------------------------Riise
---------------------------------Parker---------------------------------------
----------------------Sidwell---------------Kasami----------------------------
Dejagah----------------------------------------------------------------Taarabt
---------------------------------Bent-----------------------------------------

We need to play with a quick tempo counter attack, without losing the defensive solidity. Adel Taarabt is a hard worker, watch closely, you'll see his pressing, which is actually very intelligent at times. Also, Bent can press as well, frequently vs. Norwich, and his pace would be good for the gap in between Per Mertesacker and Bacary Sagna.

That leaves us with options on the bench of:

Stockdale
Zverotic/Richardson
Hughes/Senderos
Karagounis
Dempsey
Kacaniklic
Berbatov

The more offensive players (Karagounis, Dempsey, Kacaniklic and Berbatov can make an impact should we keep the score line respectable.
