Monreal started having
problems with a wide player, the on field players must recognise this and make adjustments, either iwobi drop off a little or one of the CM acts as cover.
When Fraser came in, however, he utilised a very Dutch 4 -3-3 setup in which Baker was the «number eight», the midfielder charged with playing a box - to - box role and
linking with the wide players in an effort to impact the game more in the final third.
When in possession of the ball, however, the side will often look to stretch the pitch,
with wide players hugging the touchline before assuming their natural role (Coutinho drifting inside, or Ibe looking to beat a man — for example).
With wide players like that then I think Theo could easily get over 30 EPL goals, we all know he can score from out wide and he has been proving that he can score through the middle recently, he is a goal scorer... he isn't the best dribbler... he is a scorer.
wenger sell chamberlain and walcott leaving
us with no wide players, and never bring a replacement.
So to get the best out of Giroud we need someone who will run past him and be the goalscoring threat... Our wide players are not going to do that often enough as Giroud is too static and doesn't go out wide enough or move from side to side to link up
with the wide players and create that kinda game play.
You do realize we play with a focal point that can link up
with the wide players and bring our midfielders into the game?
With our wide players — the way we're playing at the moment we like to get the players between the lines slightly differently.
