Those problems seem to be easing at last and that might actually help our midfield situation as well.

At times this season, and pretty crucial times as well, Arsene Wenger has been left with almost no options for the centre of the Arsenal midfield, Cazorla is out for the season after playing a big role in our good early form and there have also been injury problems for Coquelin, Ramsey and Elneny, while the summer signing Granit Xhaka has missed a fair few games himself for disciplinary reasons.

Wenger has no problem with playing midfielders in defence, as we have seen with Elneny and Gabriel (before he was sold) earlier this season, but it is hardly an ideal situation in a big game like this.

Flamini has joined Crystal Palace after his contract with Arsenal ran down in the summer and because of the injury problems that Sam Allardyce is having to cope with it is very likely that the former Gunner will start against us in a central midfield pairing with Yohan Cabaye, who just happens to be another player whose game is very familiar to the boss as we nearly signed him a few years ago.

And to be fair to the midfielder, I would be over the moon to have the Ramsey of a few years ago back, but the problem is that we have seen that effective and dynamic input from Ramsey all too rarely, especially in an Arsenal shirt as he does seem to play better for Wales than he does for us.

But however, I do nt think Ramsey is the main culprit, because that problem stated at the begining of 2015 when Coquelin replace Arteta as defensive midfielder Arsenal overall football change from posssession dominance to a sporadic countering style game.

But if you look past the negatives you will find a talented and dynamic midfielder who has been very unlucky with injury problems but who is desperate to prove his critics wrong, just as he was doing before McNair smashed up his ankle in November.

I am yet to see the self proclaimed problem here with Ozil playing wide.Any modern day midfielder can play wide unless you are incredibly one dimensional in which case you shouldn't cost 42 M pounds.David Silva and many others out there are midfielders who begin wide.they are not wingers and Wenger isnt playing Ozil as a winger.He is given the liberty of cutting infield.AFC midfield is not static.players move in and out of midfield.

Well im not in a wonderland he has his failings as we all do and great teams find a way to win good teams sit where we are 6 -5-4 but thats besides the point and it would be nice if your aunty had bolocks cause then we d be second but ive watched the games were an offensive team most the time although were terrible in the pissing rain but for the most part the game plans have worked weve created chances quality scoring chances one after the other problem is for me the finishing unless we sit back with 9 man behind the ball or ten when you push forward you will give up a goal if you lousy forwards fail to finish the set ups have been there this year but our strikers have failed to kill the games if we create quality chances and grab leads in the first 60 minutes like we have for the most part and in those games those games should of been killed even if we give a goal or two alongside the strategy but we failed to hit multiple should be goals we tried laca we'll see abou auba although hes a bit lazy so far but we'll see but we've lacked that quality in front goal a player the chances have been there im looking at the failure of the strikers and maybe that is his fault but monreal has scored as many goals recently as our strikers and thats sad our defenders or a midfielder will score and our stikers cant tally one in th first 60 mins of a game alongside them then were tired for last 40 give them hope there still only down one and we rue our missed chances while they push thats where iv been frustrated with this season not the tactics but the finishing
