Seriously this is the time to play him through the middle. Giroud and Podolski started on Saturday, so I can't see playing against Reading on Tuesday and Gervinho is injured. That leaves us with Chamakh as our CF. A man that last scored over a year ago. Reading's defence lacks pace and this is an away game, so they might not play a deep defence and just try and spoil the game. Walcott could get the space and I think he can skin the Reading defence. Play Walcott through the middle with Gnabry and AOC out wide. Surely this is his chance to finally play in his favourite position?
it can and it should! Chamakh's time is over imo. We lack depth and im therefore not in favour of putting giroud in considering gervinho's injury. We lack genuine width and this would be a great chance to ease gnabry into that position.
