They also swapped sides with each other occasionally, and Sterling sometimes took up
a central position if Suarez and Coutinho were dropping deep to receive the ball.
Which I doubt will happen, we'll get Benzema, which I think if it happens no one will be thinking about Afobe, if they don't I think dzeko would be a bargain but I Defo think, theo should get
central position if we don't sign anyone, on a funny note has anyone seen the rumour that Rooney is being signed by juventus?

When without the ball,
if the opponents are going down our wing well then yes I'd like him to take up a wing
position,
if we are outnumbered centrally well then I'd like him to take up a
central position.
Arsenal can beat them
if they use Sanchez in the
central position, also
if they don't use Ozil, Ramsey and Giroud as starters.
I will be happy
if Arsenal will get Lemar to use him in a
central position, but I also wish Arsenal would try to bring Thiago, Rafinha or Sergi Roberto in.
So the second would probably need to be a
central midfielder (or another wing back
if Ox stays and is used as a utility player where he plays across the wing back
positions both sides or
central midfield
if needed)
If we had focused Ainsley Maitland - Niles as a
Central midfielder, Xhaka and Ramsey would have been scared for his
position right now and that would have brought out the best in him and we won't be looking for one Seri all over the place.
If he plays would much prefer him in his more natural
central position, preferably taking Xhaka's place.
Liverpool — Henderson — Gerrard Real — Modric — Kroos Don't get me wrong, we absolutely need a pure DM for tough matches — but spending 25M + + for extra depth in that

central midfielder —
If we play 4 -2-3-1, let him pair with either Ramsey / Carzola and we have a very strong midfield base in both attack and defense.

Wilshire struggles to play 2 games a week, coquelin and cazorla won't play every match either, to be fair
if coquelin, cazorla wilshire Ramsey ozil and rosicky were rotated around the 3
central positions and welbeck chamberlain Walcott alexis around the two wide berths I would be more than happy with that.
Selection was the same you have mentioned but
if you look at the movement of players then Sanchez was time and time getting deeper and deeper to receive the ball and then Walcott was moving into
central position which was horrible....
If the OX insist on playing
central midfield, he won't make it to the World Cup with England, because he is thrash in the
position.
I reckon
if we'd got a world - class
central midfielder during the transfer window, and a manager that played everybody in the right
positions, with the right tactics for each game, kept them motivated, cut all dead - wood, and managed injuries well, then we'd be challengers.
And imagine what
if Wenger assigns Sanchez as
central attacking midfielder / playmaker, instead of using Ozil in that
position.
@TH14atl the list of the players you gave me were players who were naturally
central midfielders but could play in cmf
position and you also gave me no 10's who could also play cmf so i do not get your take.However did you see that they were being played in their best positions.I am also against Ramsey on the wing but i will not be blinded by the fact that
if he should be put in box to box role he will be better than santi in that role.But from what you said i think we might just sell cant we.Have you forgotten the man utd match last season where peeps were like O!
If Wenger trusted him as a
central attacking midfielder / playmaker, like his
position in his national football team, Arshavin would have been our second Bergkamp.
This is an incredibly difficult question to answer for a variety of reasons, most importantly because over the years our once vaunted «beautiful» style of play has become a shadow of it's former self, only to be replaced by a less than stellar «plug and play» mentality where players play out of
position and adjustments / substitutions are rarely forthcoming before the 75th minute...
if you look at our current players, very few would make sense in the traditional Wengerian system... at present, we don't have the personnel to move the ball quickly from deep - lying
position, efficient one touch midfielders that can make the necessary through balls or the disciplined and pacey forwards to stretch defences into wide
positions, without the aid of the backs coming up into the final 3rd, so that we can attack the defensive lanes in the same clinical fashion we did years ago... on this current squad, we have only 1
central defender on staf, Mustafi, who seems to have any prowess in the offensive zone or who can even pass two zones through so that we can advance play quickly out of our own end (I have seen some inklings that suggest Holding might have some offensive qualities but too early to tell)... unfortunately Mustafi has a tendency to get himself in trouble when he gets overly aggressive on the ball... from our backs out wide, we've seen pace from the likes of Bellerin and Gibbs and the spirited albeit offensively stunted play of Monreal, but none of these players possess the skill - set required in the offensive zone for the new Wenger scheme which requires deft touches, timely runs to the baseline and consistent crossing, especially when Giroud was playing and his ratio of scored goals per clear chances was relatively low (better last year though)... obviously I like Bellerin's future prospects, as you can't teach pace, but I do worry that he regressed last season, which was obvious to Wenger because there was no way he would have used Ox as the right side wing - back so often knowing that Barcelona could come calling in the off - season,
if he thought otherwise... as for our midfielders, not a single one, minus the more confident Xhaka I watched played for the Swiss national team a couple years ago, who truly makes sense under the traditional Wenger model... Ramsey holds onto the ball too long, gives the ball away cheaply far too often and abandons his defensive responsibilities on a regular basis (doesn't score enough recently to justify): that being said, I've always thought he does possess a little something special, unfortunately he thinks so too... Xhaka is a little too slow to ever boss the midfield and he tends to telegraph his one true strength, his long ball play: although I must admit he did get a bit better during some points in the latter part of last season... it always made me wonder why whenever he played with Coq Wenger always seemed to play Francis in a more advanced role on the pitch... as for Coq, he is way too reckless at the wrong times and has exhibited little offensive prowess yet finds himself in and around the box far too often... let's face it Wenger was ready to throw him in the trash heap when injuries forced him to use Francis and then he had the nerve to act like this was all part of a bigger Wenger constructed plan... he like Ramsey, Xhaka and Elneny don't offer the skills necessary to satisfy the quick transitory nature of our old offensive scheme or the stout defensive mindset needed to protect the defensive zone so that our offensive players can remain aggressive in the final third... on the front end, we have Ozil, a player of immense skill but stunted by his physical demeanor that tends to offend, the fact that he's been played out of
position far too many times since arriving and that the players in front of him, minus Sanchez, make little to no sense considering what he has to offer (especially Giroud); just think about the quick counter-attack offence in Real or the space and protection he receives in the German National team's midfield, where teams couldn't afford to focus too heavily on one individual... this player was a passing «specialist» long before he arrived in North London, so only an arrogant or ignorant individual would try to reinvent the wheel and / or not surround such a talent with the necessary components... in regards to Ox, Walcott and Welbeck, although they all possess serious talents I see them in large part as headless chickens who are on the injury table too much, lack the necessary first - touch and / or lack the finishing flair to warrant their inclusion in a regular starting eleven; I would say that, of the 3, Ox showed the most upside once we went to a back 3, but even he became a bit too consumed by his pending contract talks before the season ended and that concerned me a bit...
if I had to choose one of those 3 players to stay on it would be Ox due to his potential as a plausible alternative to Bellerin in that wing - back
position should we continue to use that formation... in Sanchez, we get one of the most committed skill players we've seen on this squad for some years but that could all change soon,
if it hasn't already of course... strangely enough, even he doesn't make sense given the constructs of the original Wenger offensive model because he holds onto the ball too long and he will give the ball up a little too often in the offensive zone... a fact that is largely forgotten due to his infectious energy and the fact that the numbers he has achieved seem to justify the means... finally, and in many ways most crucially, Giroud, there is nothing about this team or the offensive system that Wenger has traditionally employed that would even suggest such a player would make sense as a starter... too slow, too inefficient and way too easily dispossessed... once again, I think he has some special skills and, at times, has showed some world - class qualities but he's lack of mobility is an albatross around the necks of our offence... so when you ask who would be our best starting 11, I don't have a clue because of the 5 or 6 players that truly deserve a place in this side, 1 just arrived, 3 aren't under contract beyond 2018 and the other was just sold to Juve... man, this is theraputic because following this team is like an addiction to heroin without the benefits
we were deficient last year, and we did not address our weak
positions, our 13 gps
central striker will win nothing, mert is another yr older and slower and even
if healthy, gabriel is a walking red card.
Arsenal please
if Wenger can not deliver a striker of great quality a
central midfield play and play them in the correct
positions get rid him.
He said in the Standard: «At the moment, the general dynamic at Arsenal is that we have got a lot of
central midfielders who are more specialists in that
position and out of that group of players,

Can he even operate successfully in that
position of
central attacking midfielder remarkably today
if the Boss gives a chance, and breaks into the limelight?
I, although I can't possibly know what will be in the future, have a gut feeling that like other long summer transfer windows we will keep striking off big names in the key
positions that many concur we should be looking to boost (DM & ST / or RW
if Walcott is to be
central and no striker signed).
If Sanchez plays, I would put Ozil on the other wing across from Walcott, with Sanchez and Walcott fighting over the
central position.
Bring in Ospina for Cech; Gabriel for Koscielny (Kos is 31 and its time we start testing Gabriel and Holding beside Mustafi to see what our long term first choice defensive partnership will look like); Gibbs for Monreal (Wenger needs to start rotating these 2 more frequently as we need to ascertain
if Gibbs can adequately produce the quality to hold that
position from next season for a few years as I'm thinking this might be Nacho's last or penultimate season with Arsenal, it will also give a hint as to the type of Left - back to target in the summer — first teamer or backup and age as well); I'll like to see an Elneny — Xhaka partnership in this fixture as we might just never know, this might be our replica of the Kos Mustafa partnership in the centre of the park, Two disciplined (positionally, i mean)
central midfielders who can play box to box; Chamberlain for Iwobi, and Perez for Alexis should do the work.
Let me quickly remind you before you forget again and again that this very problem was outlined before the close of transfer window, instead of making reinforcements, he sold our true back up
central defender, didn't buy replacement after he «promised», and played an already poor left back out of
position for cover, we have not had a defensive midfielder after Gilberto left, so tell me again how these problems are fresh from this season... Its time arsenal fans stop glory hunting and realise that even
if Wenger hand us the EPL (a chance fatter gunnersaurus)... HE NEEDS TO GO!!!
If like the last two seasons we are going to go for a single world class player then we could possible go for Pogba, but that would still leave potential problems in
central defense and striker
positions and possibly Goalkeeper as well.
Before writing this article, I was counting the number of
central defenders we have and I suddenly realized that
if and when Wenger does bring in Mustafi or whoever his real defensive target is, we will have six
central defenders for two
positions.
These two players operate in the same sort of
position on the football pitch, so with Arsenal transfer rumours hitting the football media about our Egyptian international
central midfielder Mohamed Elneny and the Sporting Lisbon star William Carvalhe I wonder
if it could mean that the Gunners are planning to replace one with the other.
There is no point in Welbeck drifting wide
if he starts in a
central position because he has no one to aim for.
If we signed Kante we would have 7
central midfielders competing for 2
positions.
If Sanchez scoring more goals and being three times the player Giroud is as
central striker can not hold the
position in Wenger's eyes why would this dutch player or last year Mbappe get a fair chance?
This could be walcott season
if he stays injury free, where ever he plays, he can now drift into
central position any time in the game and Ozil and Cazirla will find him.
he is a latebloomer iin my eyes... give him bis money... and play him right and
central during the game... our midfield can play any
position on the flanks
if the goes
central.
I think Sanchez has better vision and is a good playmaker
if he plays in the
central attacking midfielder / forward
position.
If we want to use him as a
central midfielder, well, we have got Cazorla and Ramsey in that
position and they are both better than him.
If your players are really hanging on, one of your
central midfielders could even drop into a
position in front of the back three.
Song isn't a
central defender, and
if Song plays in defence that means he isn't playing in his regular
position, Denilson is and that means we have two players playing in
positions they can't play in.
If the ball was passed back to Marc - Andre ter Stegen, Dzeko would then close him down, his
central position allowing him to get on top of him quickly.
A
central position gives him five clear passing options: the two midfielders, the winger, Sigurdsson on the left and the striker, whereas
if he were to take up a
position out wide, that leaves with with just three: the attacking midfielder inside, the striker and a midfielder.
If the ball is with the opposition in
Central positions Liverpool will pressure the opposition in a box formation with the Center Forward, Attacking Midfielder (Wide Attacker) and 2
Central Midfielder closing the spaces.
When won in
central positions, the team will attack with 4 players with 2 runners joining them
if the break is on.
If Can was able to move in to a more advanced
position as highlighted in the image then Henderson would have an option to play through the midfield line for Hull City and provide an advanced
central platform from which Liverpool could build their attack.
As Ramon has said above —
if you have good positional sense you don't need a lot of pace in that
central defensive
position.
If their
central midfield team - mates kept a high
position and dragged their markers with them, the full - backs would be tasked with receiving a sideways ball and driving forward themselves.
