Arsenal's brilliant era, there were a lot of tall and strong players in the team, which was the key to Arsenal's good results. Professor Wenger particularly likes to use players of particular height in the goalkeeper and centre-back positions. For example, the goalkeepers have Herman and Lehmann. Centre-backs have Adams, Bird and Campbell. In midfield, Professor Wenger also likes to use players who are particularly tall, such as Vieira, who was abandoned in the Asian team trial and Canu, who was abandoned by Inter because of a heart problem.
Arsenal are so tall and strong that it's easy to overlook that the likes of Henry, Pires, Petit and Gilberto are also tall players. Unfortunately, there are few tall players in the current Arsenal team, which is a great disadvantage in the Premier League, which is forced to physically fight.
