Aw has lost the plot with his tactics as well.Teams read him and play us out of games.We only tend to play well when opponents give us room to play in the midfield — like Everton did.When opponents park the bus and cramp out Ozil and Sanchez, Wenger doesn't have a plan.All the possession and no goals wont win you games.

He certainly did a Giroud when coming on against Leciester on Friday and Ramsey has had his fair share of injuries which have often come about from a busy schedule of games, so perhaps he could be an impact player for Arsenal from midfield just as the big Frenchman is up top.

giroud plays well as a dm in his usual no9 position based on his «hold up play»... but don't mistake that gibberish with playing in midfield which requires more concentration and technique which the tall man does not possess at all... hed make a good defender though

Reading the thread on this article and I noticed a lot of people naming strikers we could have gotten in past transfer windows that have gone to other club and failed, Balotelli, Falcao, Martinez, Boney etc are recurring names in all the comments, and am sat here thinking because they failed in thee clubs does not necessarily mean they would have failed if we had pulled out our fingers and hot them back then, Balotelli aside I strongly believe all of these players could have made a difference playing infront of our midfield and given the kind of attention and care Wenger gives Giroud and Walcott, adapting our play to suit them and giving them chances after chances even when its blatantly obvious they are average players so please lets not keep using that as an excuse for Wenger's ultra careful attitude in the transfer market, they could have failed with us, or they could have been massive for us, all speculations.

Most misplaced passes in the Premier League this term: Y.Kaboul (35) A.Ramsey (26) D.Janmaat (25) G.Barry (24) C.Benteke (24) R.Brady (24)-- Squawka Football (@Squawka) August 19, 2015 Unless, as the former Cardiff man was during the 13/14 campaign, he's positioned alongside a holding midfielder who can also carry the burden as our deeper playmaker similar to what Arteta did, playing Ramsey alongside a destructive midfielder like Coquelin just doesn't work.

I only wish to focus on those who can play in the CF position (as that's what everyone's getting bent out of shape about) but it is clear we have wide players who can score and we have players who can do so from midfield, some of whom are still developing — like Wilshere, Ramsay, the Ox — and from whom most of expect to see more and more this season.

THose lack of midfield options Arsene Wenger was left with because of Xhaka, Cazorla, Ramsey and Elneny being unavailable really hurt, as did our failure to take at least one of the good chances.

Certainly defensive midfield is a crucial one, as it allows the team to breath and we could do with having proper competition for that place (I don't count Arteta or Flamini..).

If Sanchez doesn't perform as a central attacking midfielder / forward / playmaker in this game, Ozil can come back in the next game.

• Jack is off.No doubts now.Error ridden display.Get him off the wage bill and replace with someone who can make a difference • Ramsey is still an enigma for me.Much as I think we could do better I also feel with a better balanced midfield he is capable of producing for us.Would keep him over Jack all day long.

Nice line - up, I'd prefer that 3 back line all day, except it will be Gabriel for mustafi, that's grit, steel, aggression and intelligence at our back line, but imagine monreal as a CB when we have Gabriel, holding, I don't understand wenger Mustafi goes into tackles headlessly The front line and midfield is also super human, just dat Ozil is a pussy against aggressive and big teams, I'll prefer ox or Wilshere or mahrez....

Pogba is picked on because he's our best and most expensive outfield player, but Mourinho has primarily played him as a holding midfielder, which I think we can agree isn't what he was bought to do, and is not what he's good at.

You could even say that we don't really have a concrete centre - forward any more, as while Sanchez is moving back into midfield to get the ball, then other players like Walcott, Ozil and the Oz are moving into the centre to replace him, like a rotating diamond formation.

The only place I can see him playing is in VVs spot at the top of a midfield diamond, because as the article states, he doesn't seem too interested in defending.
