But if the Boss rested Alexis,
Oxlade will start
at left wing while the youth teammer Alex Iwobi or Joel Campbell starts
at right
wing.
Our 3 back is just so wrong.We don't have natural wingbacks even in this formation.It also seems to me that lots of people here believe if you're good
at right or
left fullback then automatically you're good
at RWB / LWB which quite frankly is untrue.That's why
Oxlade Chamberlain can be considered
at RWB but not right back.
At RWB or LWB you're asking too much in terms of attack from Bellerin and Kolasinac.A proper
wing back can be viewed as a more defensive winger which quite frankly none of them are and they don't possess the flexibility too to play that way.Our midfielders are also not disciplined enough because in 3 back there's a huge gap in the centre of the field that must be covered by our CM's so indiscipline only means disaster.We also have Ozil who looks like he's playing
at RW in 3 back.In that we're limiting his impact because Ozil takes on his man because he wants to not because he likes to.You can't play such players
at the
wing.He's a proper No. 10 who likes to be given freedom.That's why Ozil plays likes he's lazy on the ball and stuff.It's because he wants to be free and for that you need to put him
at No. 10.
Should Bellerin opt to
leave however, we would be more than happy to have Alex
Oxlade - Chamberlain continue his impressing spell
at right
wing - back, where I would argue that his best football has been played since joining from Southampton.
Oxlade - Chamberlain believes the Blues planned to use him
at wing - back, and his primary reason for wanting to
leave Arsenal is to play in central midfield.
Oxlade will do well if the Boss continues to play him
at left wing.
But to that end, playing
Oxlade - Chamberlain
at wing - back has resulted in Wenger playing players out of position: Héctor Bellerin has gone to
left wing - back because he's better than
Oxlade - Chamberlain there, Sead Kolasinac is playing
at left centre - back, which he can play but probably not in conjunction with Nacho Monreal as the central defensive player.
Arsenal would be a better balanced side with either Bellerin or
Oxlade - Chamberlain
at right
wing back, and Kolasinac or Monreal
at left wing back, and to that end, Wenger should probably play the superior player, Bellerin, who became the preferred starter
at right
wing back
at the end of last season.
All of Arsene Wenger's big selection decisions paid off with Danny Welbeck up front and Alex
Oxlade - Chamberlain filling
at left -
wing back.
Arsene Wenger did opt for a change to the 3 -4-2-1 formation later on in the season, but this still didn't help Gibbs as his continuous injury problems led to Alex
Oxlade - Chamberlain filling up
at left wing - back in the FA Cup final against Chelsea.
As against that,
at least Hodgson had the wit and wisdom to reshuffle his team to make room for
Oxlade - Chamberlain and not on the
left wing either where he had been deployed before but more adventurously in the very centre of midfield.
