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 have to play WHU 2 days after so resting Chambers to me would be ideal as we know WHU will pump balls into the box and we'll need arial dominance against WHU in our own box, also our fullbacks for that game will need to make sure they do nt get overloaded by their fullbacks... Just look at some of the crosses Jenkinson has been putting in (I know Jenkinson would be on our left, Gibbs side, WHU fullbacks have both been doing well though) I feel Chambers would get overloaded on there left (our right) but Debuchery has the experience to deal with it.

Dennis Cherysev is not needed but i do nt know why people call him average when some here accept Giroud is just below world class or to some he actually is.If Cherysev was a cf i would have taken him over Giroud anyday.Karim Benzema is not coming because Real Madrid will not sell for any reason.I would love to see how Cazorla at no. 10 and Ramsey playin next to Coquelin will look like.To me i believe the playing of Ramey out wide severally has affected his form.To me when on form he is better than Cazorla in that role.Cazorla should be playing no. 10 but its because je keeps the ball well thats why people want him playing behind.Cazorla expresses himself best at no. 10 and that is the only truth.There will surely be some matches where Cazorla in box to box will not be going very well.He needs to go back to his former position.

Stats don't give you all the details you need... For example: there was a time at that westham game that Ozil find himself in a better position to score right inside the box with no defender maulding him but he decided to pass the ball down to Ramsey who is outside the box... Sometimes Ozil find himself in a better position than the player he passes to... Stats will never bring that out... Ozil is just another Hleb with creating chances and no goals... I even prefer Hleb cuz he is a treat in every big games and a nightmare to defenders... Stop covering up Ozil and talk football the way it is.

Pausing only to wipe the blood from his hands, he clips the ball gently across the six - yard box, and Messi, almost certainly the best player in the world, probably the best player in history, and possibly the best player that there ever will be, brings the Camp Nou to its feet in adoration by tapping into an empty net from two yards.

I don't think his job is to initiate attack, he's main job is to win the ball back and play a simple pass to our more offensive players, and he is not bad in possession as d stat and u re suggest, and I don't see any tactical reason behind carzola being backward order than ramsey being injured, nobody initiate our attack better than ramsey and dats d work of a box to box midfielder and not the defensive midfielder.

The attack came thanks to a good overlap on the left by Danny Rose, and Lingard was on hand to steer the ball in when it fell loose on the edge of the box.

With the ball dropping for him well outside the box, Ibrahimovic lashed in the kind of volley that only he can — making a long - distance speculative effort look routine as he has done with so many of the best goals scored over the course of his career.

He took a touch to bring the ball to the proper height in front of him, before leathering a strike towards goal from well outside the box.

A good flowing movement on the edge of the box saw Fabregas psychically finding Denilson who cracked in a beauty from the edge of the box, the Gunners then netted two goals from their centre back duo getting one a piece both from truly wonderful balls from RVP and Cesc but one has to question the marking ability of the Toffees defence who vanished into thin air.

defensive area i think its important to not play the ball forward in midfield too early, we should be patient so to draw in those two players behind their striker, we need to detach the three forwards away from the four in midfield... if we can do that well and Sanchez can beat moreno heading toward goal one of the three defenders must come to Sanchez... also crucial to have three Arsenal players arriving in their box, Ramsey Giroud and another looking from a pass from Sanchez.

1) refs are shite as usual 2) Chambers» inexperience, Mertesacker's lack of match fitness and the lack of familiarity showed today for both goals 3) Sanchez makes good runs, but nobody plays him through 4) Play Ozil in the center 5) team showed they still have more fight in them than last season and actually closed down better 6) Why is Ramsey the only one to make a run into the box and attack the ball?

Yet another chance fell to the wrong man in Flamini, Koscielny was too honest bursting into the box, the Ox trod on the ball after beating his man and another good chance was gone.

Flamini was not in the Chelsea box when Willian won the ball but was around the centre circle; if you want to test the claim of who is second best in cases of one versus one try play football yourself rather than try to abuse Theo Walcot; there is a guy called Boateng playing for Baryen and another called Pique playing for Barcelona for comparisons with Per.

That has the potential to be killer — defences can't press high or Alexis will hit them with pace, sitting in their own box won't help either, Giroud is strong in the air and can hold the ball up well, plus both Alexis and Giroud are poachers in the box.

he was fairly good and I remember how he was a terror to defenders in the box on high balls and he's got good feet as well but I think he's past it or should be passed it.

Now, I don't watch Reading games but I believe that a player with better header play like Debuchy will get the nod against a pacy, low height Bellerin against a team raining balls in our box.

Walcott needs to learn how to bully defenders as well as use his pace and until then we have to play the CF for the opposition, if they put every man behind the ball and give us majority of the possession then we need Giroud as he can bully players in the box and make space for himself better than Theo.

He was physically imposing in the box, good positioning and hungry to get onto the Ramsey's ball for the second goal.

I personally, would have preferred Mr Wenger to sign Balotelli on a free transfer ahead of Perez, because Perez is not good in the air and can not hold the ball up and allow other attacking player to make runs in the box.

Thought Accam should have put the ball out to Sapong in the box instead of going for the shot himself, but there is a good chance that a defender would have gotten it, so i'm not too upset by it.

His decisions are sometimes based on a rush of blood... coming off his line to collect when he has no chance, coming out of the box when he's better staying put, ill considered release of the ball putting others in immediate trouble....

We need players able to do the best out of the ball in a circle around their box.
