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

I believe Arsene and his whole coaching management staff has had there time an should honourably leave.Please GOONERS sacrifice your support for the present teams chosen and if personally required make it known we are NOT happy / satisfied with of how the club is handled.There is NO growth and half the players are not premier league standard.looking at the top 6 clubs.Somebody got to take the fall and it is not Kroenkie as we seen the money was spent.We buying where we had a little strength and where we really required (defensive) for a long time faith is put in people like Calum, Mustafi, bellerin, Holding etc.. I feel for El Nenny who is hardworking with the wrong chemistry.The other 5 top clubs will never take these players in there premier side.

He does not have anything like the same attacking and creative ability as Bellerin though and is much more comfortable doing the defensive side of the role.

He failed to make an impression at Bournemouth and on the back of one full 90 minutes against a lower division side there is a clamour for him to replace the likes of Ramsay, Xhaka and Elneny who is in my opinion the best defensive midfielder at Arsenal.Wenger is absolutely correct on this occasion when he points that it is up to Wiltshire to stake a claim to a regular midfield berth by stringing together a number of consistently good performances.I sincerely hope he can but please, no more of this hype after a 90 minute shift.

Yeah I'm bang on with you Grandad.Chambers again looked fairly solid and certainly did not let the side down like Mustafi AGAIN.Holding came on and did what was required from him in the centre as Chambers moved to RB.COULD Chambers and Holding really perform together as CB's in a back four?NO and nor could anyone else without the TOP QUALITY CENTRAL DEFENSIVE MIDFIELDER we have been crying out for since the departure of Gilberto.

I didn't watch the match last night as I was on the field playing I ran my heels off I was in their faces I was angry I got a well - deserved yellow and could have been sent off later on I intercepted a good few balls and assisted with 2 goals and won the match From the highlights and the analysis I understand the Arsenal were weak in midfield the Arsenal needs an enforcer someone just like me a motivator and in the face of the opponents a thorn in the side I also believe MR wenger was at fault we all knew we would be weak in defence the least MR wenger should have had is a strong fresh midfield after all we had a tough encounter with city + traveling why didn't he use Rosciky, Carzola and Campbell On a different note I like chamberland stature he is tall and has pace and energy why not adapt him to the defensive midfield position with clear emphasis to be in the opponents face The arsenal and Mr wenger need to wake up fast now we have this weekend to prepare for Chelsea if we believe we are title contenders

Work on the defensive side of the game like tackling, positional awareness and duels to be the # 1 guy there, if jenko gets back bellerin needs a loan spell to pick up in game form.

I'm not certain how it would play out but it would have been interesting to see Perez playing in a front 3 with Sanchez and Lacazette, with Perez on the right, but in order to do that we would need a true defensive midfielder so that we could still have Ozil in the middle, playing behind the front 3, and Sead and Ox / Bellerin taking turns making wide side runs... unfortunately Wenger has made sure that could never happen because it would require buying the proper back 3 to handle this situation and he would have to bench his beloved Walcott and Ramsey on a regular basis... like I said before, I'm very concerned that Wenger will play Lacazette out wide on the left with Giroud in the middle, which means Sead will likely be in the back 3 and Ox will be played in the left wing - back position, which makes absolutely no sense whatsoever... God, I hope I'm wrong

Let's not get Carried away we were inches from being embarrassed and badly need to sort the defensive side of the game out coz if Liverpool press like they did in the first half we would be 5 - 1 down so until wenger buys a CB and DM we should expect more of the same fron the first half!

Off topic: everybody seems to think we don't need to sign any more attackers or forward, we jus need DM and CB, i don't agree tho, we urgently need to bolster our defensive side I agree, but I believe after that we shuld also sign a WC forward, all the top clubs ave WC forwards and attackers that support like City's Aguero and silva, chelseas Costa and hazard, VP and rooney... but at arsenal we only ave 1 half of d equation (sanchez), welbeck isn't Half WC, giroud is erratic and not WC, Pool with dere poor defence made sure dey outscored dere opposition with suarez, that is an angle we shuld look at, good defence and attack will make gr8t balance.

Lampard was talking about Ramsey and saying that although he is impressed with the talent and attacking intent that Rambo showed in his two starts back in the central position vacated by the injury hit Santi Cazorla, he feels that the Arsenal star needs to focus more on the defensive side of things, especially in games against bigger teams like Man City.

Further to my comments above I would like to know why Arsene has not bought class but strong CB's like Cahill & Jones from the North West??? Why because they are not cheap and not foreign......

Like his defensive partner Muniesa can leave Stamford Bridge with his head held high even though his side lost, after putting in a battling performance.

In addition, due to his positional flexibility, supreme athleticism, defensive prowess and long - passing, the Mainz man is an ideal fit for a side like Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United or Arsenal.

Most, if not all challenges were being won by Schalke, and Arsenal looked like a side in desperate need of some offensive creativity and defensive solidity.

As I mentionned above that ive just watched all the Arsenal game 2007 and 2008, Ive personnaly gave up with this idea of strngthenin our defence.Its obvious, we need CDM, and I strongly recommend Toure for that job, but finally, I found out our main PBM: AW is a man who beleives in: THE BEST DEFENCE IS ATTACKIN.He has built the team that way.When I watched our 2007 games, i could see that most of these teams who has defeated us this season played exactly the same style of game last season but they couldnt perform so much as our attackin side were so strong for them so that they were always held at their own defensive side.The game is completely Psycological.At the 1st 10mn of the game, they try to attack @their best, but just when we start attackin then all their mdlfldr start to pull back coz most of our attack are all dangerous.And this is what makes the diffrence between the so called BIG 4 and the rest of the league.The Pbm isnt really that our defence is so weak, It is our attack which is WEAK.Durin the first half of this season, Our guys couldnt perform any attackin strategy planned by AW, coz 1st: they were new to it, coz they have only practiced it durin trainin session.2 nd: Some of the key players are gone.3 rd: Even AW did nt know where exactly is the best position for those new players, the likes of Nasri, Vela, and some of them were all subsitute last year.Plus they are all young players who can improve and change their style game after game.
