Marouane is likely to look back at the 2011\/12 campaign with some disappointment, having not been able to make the impact he would have hoped for.

With Robin van Persie in such imperious form, first-team opportunities were at a premium but the Moroccan international could not quite find the momentum needed to force his way into the reckoning on a regular basis.

The season started brightly for the 28-year-old as he stepped off the bench to score with a firm header in September's defeat at Blackburn, but that proved to be the only goal he managed last term. It may have been a campaign of regret for Marouane, but he will undoubtedly come back stronger and keen to make up for lost time this season.

The striker joined the Club on a free transfer in May 2010 after a highly-productive spell at Bordeaux, and made an eye-catching start to his Arsenal career. With Van Persie out injured, the Moroccan striker scored 10 times for the Gunners before Christmas and impressed with his work-rate and link-up play.

His challenge now is to reproduce that level of performance and show exactly why Arsène Wenger has put his faith in him.<\/P>","0FCC2F07B9D0EBFD":"Crystal Palace","C6E00DEB351621C4":"13266","4678B5349347B7EB":"70kg","18E9F76C307DDD99":"112","A7F9B63E25A659E5":"Maromane Chamakh","82CBDCB828DBDF896209A361CA981BCF":"","DA5E7C1A0F1CB829A66A16651D2472FD":"Morocco","30A86FC0880FF75E":"185cm","FA149E2002A43ED77C24C62CDFF094A5":"0","8DC362CCE065919BCF40467C0DE6A7E8":"","e_index":1};
