From what I saw in that Blackburn game, it looked like Randall was a striker and Barazite was a midfielder, but I haven't seen either of those guys play regularly to know for sure.
As for Barazite, I think he typically likes to play "in the hole" like Berkamp used to do...essentially a shadow striker.
They also have a couple of other prospects that didn't get a mention here. HÃ¥vard Nordtveit is a young Norwegian defender that they picked up in the summer. He was captain of Arsenal's reserve squad for part of this season...not sure if he still is or not . A couple of prospects are out on loan as well...Jay Simpson is at Millwall and Vincent van den Berg is on loan to Go Ahead Eagles of the Dutch Second Division.
In one sense it is quite sad the way some of these top teams hoard young talent. I don't think the reserve system is necessarily the best way for them to develop. I guess they look at it like stocks...even if they don't intend to keep the player, they hope they can turn a profit on reselling them later.
Diarra - Gilberto - Denilson - Diaby (even though, when he played, Diarra has done so mostly in the "enforcer" role in front of the back 4)
The lineup from one game to the next has, however, been very fluid (and many times unpredictable) There are so many possible winning combinations when you have an abundance of the right ingredients...
