obviously I would prefer to have a much more suitable alternative in the defensive midfielder positions but if they focused more on defensive end and the occasional long - ball, this would allow Bellerin and Sead ample opportunities to bomb forward on their respective wings while still having enough cover to maintain their defensive shape... it would likewise allow for overlapping runs on both wings, thereby letting both Sanchez and Perez to cut inside and get shots
away in and around the top
of the box with their most dominant feet... if
goals were needed I would sub Bellerin for OX and bring Ramsey in for Elneny then switch to a 3 -2-4-1 (more
of a 3 -1-5-1 with Ramsey playing higher up the pitch) and I would only use Giroud as a sub when the
game dictated it for tactical reasons... this would allow us to be a high energy team with incredible link - up play and a much more direct approach in the offensive end

away games played so far this year — where we see it is the number
of goals conceded
away from home that is the main problem.
If Arsenal win this FA Cup match against Lincoln today, the win will not ease any pain the Gooners were allegedly have went through when Arsenal lost to Bayern Munich last Tuesday night at the Ems because there wasn't any pain the Gooners have suffered in the first place when Arsenal lost the match by a 1 - 5
away win for Bayern Munich which in my own observation was a rigged result for Bayern Munich by the match referee, his linesman and the other referee official who was behind the
goal post, a match referee who earlier has denied Arsenal a penalty
of their own but later connived against them to award a penalty to Bayern Munich and in the process sent off Koscielny to deliberately weaken Arsenal team strength to frustrate them in the
game.
