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>","05B90AE4F21571952008D48326AE77E3":"29","229187823D238BA5":"112","D91AFD3F8E13D94664CE2C04A1143112":"Arsenal,Bordeaux","80071F80C4550E7F":"185cm","43E2EE6075CF14CE3F1421B506383C07":"Morocco","AA81248D0821D00F0BA9BCB533E2881F":"Arsenal","37FE64B882E92ECB":"Maromane Chamakh","519F480A5D95AABEE231AFCBBAB20A94":"","e_index":3};
