If Wellbeck plays on the left and doesn't get injured, we have a new striker like Lacacette in the middle and Mahrez on the right with Ox in right wing back and
kolasinac at left wing back we could potentially be more dangerous in attack than we were last season.
Not exact matches
0/10 for not taking off Ozil and putting Ox centrally, not taking off Welbeck and subbing Giroud
at 60 mins or earlier (or starting him), taking off
Kolasinac instead of moving him to
left wing where he would have offered a threat.
Monreal
at left wing back instead of
Kolasinac.
You played Bellerin
at left wing back when you have
Kolasinac.
playing a back 3
at liverpool when you know they like to exploit the
wings, playing bellerin
at left,
leaving kolasinac out, playing holding instead of mustafi, playing welbeck instead of lacazette.
So it seems like Wenger is thinking of playing the defensively solid
Kolasinac in the
left wing back role,
at least some of the time and that suggests to me that the boss wants Arsenal to be harder to beat.
Why was Hector Bellerin deployed
at left wing - back when Sead
Kolasinac, a naturally
left - sided player, was available?
At wing - back, however, they could encounter problems, with Hector Bellerin likely to be forced to fill in for
Kolasinac on the
left.
For starters it would appear that he is sticking with Maitland - Niles
at left -
wing back instead of
Kolasinac after
leaving the youngster out of our Caraboa Cup game in midweek, and with Mustafi back we should have our strongest back three out.
But if the academy graduate really is out of the first team frame you would think we would make a deal to free up the wages and the place in the squad, so I wonder if Wenger may just be thinking about Gibbs as the
left sided
wing back in the new back three formation, or
at least as his second option after the summer signing
Kolasinac.
How come Wenger is saying
Kolasinac is more suited to a
wing back role for a more offensive role when clearly he's not.
Kolasinac is more of a
left back to me than LWB just like how Debuchy is.LWB is more demanding and I feel the way he plays is not suited to LWB
at all.Even Bellerin who I thought RWB would've suited him hasn't lived up to expectation though in his case I feel it's due to poor form.Bellerin's qualities suit either RB or RWB but not for
Kolasinac or even Niles who to me will always be a CM who's just being used as right or
left fullback.
But to that end, playing Oxlade - Chamberlain
at wing - back has resulted in Wenger playing players out of position: Héctor Bellerin has gone to
left wing - back because he's better than Oxlade - Chamberlain there, Sead
Kolasinac is playing
at left centre - back, which he can play but probably not in conjunction with Nacho Monreal as the central defensive player.
Arsenal would be a better balanced side with either Bellerin or Oxlade - Chamberlain
at right
wing back, and
Kolasinac or Monreal
at left wing back, and to that end, Wenger should probably play the superior player, Bellerin, who became the preferred starter
at right
wing back
at the end of last season.
