With the likes of Coquelin, Xhaka, Elneny and hopefully Cazorla competing for those midfield spots you could say that the always attack minded Welshman is a bit of a luxury player whose impact off the bench could be more than from the start, don't you think?

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.

Bottom line, if he is angered bench the players who were not good enough and play those who deserve some game time based on the Southampton game or on games where they had a positive impact: - Take Özil out and play Ox in the hole (he has to understand your the highest paid player of the club, your given freedom like nobody else and your even seeking even more money with a new contract you can't play like that ever and go AWOL)- Put Sanchez on the wing or up top but put Welbeck in (Walcott didn't track back near enough for the Alsonso goal)- Iwobi has been bright from the wing let him play there - Xhaka has to go back in the holding midfield role and I would take out Coquelin because he could've taken a foul on the hazard's goal.

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.

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.

Also we had no midfield runners as they are all on the ball players, we could've done with better running from midfield.

Ramsey is the only player who makes runs into the box for us... lf not for him we would pass sideways for hours outside the box as none others make the runs he does Hes our best midfielder overall can do everything good and sometimes worldclass but just does nt do enough but who has @Arsenal.

Coutinho is the real problem for me in that Liverpool team.He can destroy midfield strategies.That's why I worry when I see us with no DMF.Years back (14/15) I remember Coquelin back pocketing Coutinho yet it's likely Wenger will bench him for no reason.That guy has so much potential if only he's used wisely.He has the abilityto mark players out of a game and intercept many passes.I know many of you will call me stupid and say he's average but imagine if Coquelin was used in a very defensive sense.Being brilliant tactically is all about producing the best system with the players you have and clearly that's not what's happening.I already lose hope when I see Kolasinac and Bellerin at WB whsn clearly it doesn't suit them.WB's are so important in a 3 back but clearly we've ignored that.

haven't you seen Giroud drifting to the wings because our players who were supposed to be playing there were too busy at the center of midfield doing God knows what?

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.

Why is Xhaka still in your lineup?He's massively overrated and I'm not even basing it on this one game.I also predicted he'll be overrun in midfield if played today.People should stop criticizing him.It's Wenger's fault he was played when clearly knowing his weaknesses.I warned against this yesterday.I knew he was going to be overrun.It is highly debatable if he was the kind of player we needed in the first place.It's funny how people think Wilshere is done yet apart from passing I can't see which area of football he beats Wilshere.Even Wilshere has a higher IQ.

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.

But buddy, wen get picks the players, weber buts the players (or not as has been seen recently) weber sticks with those players when like Ozil last night, they don't perform, so yea the players didn't do what they should have BUT it's wen gers fault that we didn't have a mire clinical finisher up front who would have put away the chances that group missed, it's wengers fault that Arteta and canola were Un able to play the defensive midfield role; it's wengers fault that he didn't buy backup for coquellin.

One of the other reasons we lost I believe was because we didn't play our best players of those who were available and played a midfielder in defence who hasn't played there before against the best team in England, yeah of course that doesn't mean we would have won.

Even if they don't put in a lot of crosses, the players draw defenders wide to stretch the defense and look for passes back to the midfield behind the striker where space may open up for a key pass or a shot from distance.

Im all for backing our players but Giroud better than Higuain is buffoonery don't be fooled because he plays for Napoli he's maintained a goal every 2 games ratio his whole career and he's a special finisher with our midfield he would be unstoppable Aguero didn't used to get benched for the national team for him for no reason
