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.

Coutinho scored 14 goals and provided nine assists in 36 appearances in all competitions for Liverpool this past season, but if he were to move to Barcelona, then as detailed by Tite, he would have to move back into a midfield role given the current attacking trident at the Nou Camp with Neymar, Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi.

If you're trying to tell me Vidal is more comfortable in a more advanced role in midfield you should just stop.

442 diamond - like formation might work if we had the base of the diamond as a dedicated defensive midfielder role with Coquelin (or new addition, or even perhaps Elneny), playmaker at the top of the diamond, the side operating like wingers (or falling back for more defensive cover as required) and two strikers.

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

the only two or three veiera type midfielders there are around at the moment are pogba, kondogbia, (could have got him if wenger wernt so tight with the money) maybe carvalho the last two might need to be molded more into that role than pogba mind you, but they have the right game for it.

If that is the role he is set to play for England, I would not be surprised if Arsene Wenger tries him out there for Arsenal as well, especially as the Frenchman seems to have something against a traditional defensive midfieldeIf that is the role he is set to play for England, I would not be surprised if Arsene Wenger tries him out there for Arsenal as well, especially as the Frenchman seems to have something against a traditional defensive midfieldeif Arsene Wenger tries him out there for Arsenal as well, especially as the Frenchman seems to have something against a traditional defensive midfielder.

Auba and Mik are gud signings if we get them but we still need a top class D / M and push Xhaka further up in no. 8 role where he is best gud then get rid of Wilshire and Ramsay as they are average, Arsenal is too big for them then have them replaced by one gud central attacking midfielder.

He can be a disciplined enough player to play the holding role if thats whats required of him and he'll generally bring a lot of physicality to our midfield which we've lacked for a bit.

If we make the mistake of not finding a quality DM to make the holding midfield role competitive for Coq and to ensure we always have a fresh pair of legs to do the dirty job for us in the midfield is equivalent to shooting ourselves in the foot.

That would allow Milner to return to a midfield role, although he can obviously offer that versatility to cover at full - back if necessary, with Liverpool needing quality and depth across the pitch as they look to complete on various fronts next season including in the Champions League if they can make it through the qualifying round.

Ramsey is a pretty good marauding midfielder and the only other person in our team capable of playing this role is Wilshere if only he can stay fit (My heart breaks for him just like it did for Rosicky and Diaby).

If you observe closely, you'll see that Wenger's 3 -4-2-1 is much more fluid than Chelsea's primarily because of the role of Ramsey who has the energy to play as an attacking midfielder and a false 9.

If you've watched the last few games Santi has been playing in a more deeper role of midfield alongside Coq.

If Iwobi can work on his defensive game, putting tackles in and having the right stamina, He should be ahead of Ramsey in that central midfield role.

The veteran midfielder has enjoyed a fine, if diminished role with the Blues this season, and upon the release of the Premier League's free agent list Lampard has yet to be offered an extension at Stamford Bridge, and as it stands he is up for grabs.

Kinda makes sense though, the only reason people are asking for another CDM is because we all fear the possibility of injury to coquelin and know flamini is usless, beilick is inexperienced so it begs the question what happens if an injury where to occur, but wîth how many midfielders we have in the squad i think it could allow us to change a tactical approach and potentially experiment with people like Ramsey and Wishere potentially playing a deeper role??? But the striker is a must as i mentioned earlier Giroud went 8 games without scoring a goal and none of the other strikers stepped up to the plate, we cant have a drought of goals when your the quest for titles...

And Yaya is a b2b which happens to be a completely different role from being a playmaker, and even then Ozil is the better midfielder in every single department excluding physical strength, if Yaya was as good as you claim then he wouldn't have been used as a CB when he was at Barca.

Retaining Coquelin in the holding role will be key to our early season form, and if Arsene brings in a striker, another strong midfielder and maybe a CB and a GK then we have a good chance of being the champions of England come May next year.

If Ramsey keeps with this mind set then we desperately need another central midfielder who knows what his role.

Ox - 5 horrible on the left, took too many shots from outside his range (I so wish we had a couple attacking midfielders that could shoot from outside the box with any consistency)... showed some composure when he moved back to the right side, especially when he took on the RB role once Giroud came in for Holding... his versatility is great but only if Wenger uses him on the right side

Ozil needs to be played more centrally if we hope to benefit from his creativity with the ball and Welbeck's first touch is far too sloppy to be played along side Lacazette... we need to find a formation which allows more service to those making runs from the middle of the pitch... Lacazette can not play so much with his back to goal or we're simply playing the same unsuccessful offensive scheme we played with Giroud, who is much better in that type of role... I can only hope we keep Sanchez and purchase a true defensive midfielder then switch to a 4 -4-1-1, which allows us to have Ozil play more centrally with Sead and Sanchez on the left side and Ox and Bellerin on the right, which would stretch defences so much that we could overwhelm most opponents with both runs in behind and overlapping runs out wide

And I also think the midfield would be as strong as that of Man City and Chelsea especially if we play Rosicky or Ramsey in the Number 10 role.

In Wenger's traditional 4 -2-3-1 formation, Lemar could either take over Cazorla's role as the deeper - lying playmaker with a licence to roam forward or play on the left wing, but if Wenger decides to stick with the formation he finished last season with, three at the back, Lemar might struggle to displace Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez as one of the two attacking midfielders, however, that might change if one or both players leave the club.

Especially if we get Lemar our attack will be absolutely stacked with talent and depth so the last remaining position would be a roaming center midfielder that could also potentially play a CDM role.

I think Tiote would be a great addition for the Gunners, but I would be surprised if Wenger thought the same, because his game is all about breaking up play and making tackles, not the all - round sort of midfielder that Wenger seems to like in the central role.

He's a very similar player to the squad members already fighting for a place in midfield and if Arsenal have plans of using Wilshere next season, then Barkley's role in the team becomes redundant.

Even if the 3 old timers move on a fit midfield could boast, coquelin elneny ramsey wilshire cazorla hayden zelalem toral ozil iwobi chamberlain alexis Campbell gnabry with Welbeck giroud and Welbeck again fighting for the lone strikers role.

Now I am going to suggest that if we can't attract a world - class holding midfielder (not talking blood - n - guts destroyer here but more a cultured interceptor, reads the play well, tackles effectively, good passing range, breaks up attacks and recycles the ball quickly into attacking moves — so not Wanyama) to provide cover for the ever - improving Coquelin, we probably shouldn't worry too much because we have Rambo who can step into that role when Coquelin or Santi aren't available (injured / suspended).

It goes Giroud > Perez > Sanchez > Walcott for ST. Elneny, Ramsey, Coquelin are plenty backup for the three midfield positions and we also have wingers that can play the role if need be.

Wilshere has been injury prone but has been injury free for a good while now... Missing a friendly against holland is hardly a sign of medical catastrophe so this is a massive overreaction... Wilshere is by a very long way the best of the British stable at arsenal and on his day he is a top flight creative midfield play maker... Don't take my word for it ask xavi arguably the best ever in that role... Since his return he has shown signs of his best but not over 90 mins... But wenger has played him all over the place does not no how to combine him with ozil and miki and surrounded him with utterly hapless players like Ramsey and xhaka... He needs a new manager to bring best out of him I hope at arsenal but if the fossil stays he should go...

i hope your right there there is talk that we might be extending arteta's contract by a year, i am of the mind that we should say thanks for all your effort here is a little gold cannon enjoy your retirement and come back if you want to do some coaching in a year or 2, as well as replacing diaby and flamini thats gonna cost hopefully hayden will step in to d / m and grow in to that role for us and we could get someone else in the jan window, i think wenger will do the midfield replacements in jan in advance of summer so he doesn't have to next summer.

If you took the high energy game of the box to box midfielder and mixed it with a more creative role like a deep lying midfielder or advanced playmaker, then what you get is a roaming playmaker.

His role will be the most key for the home side, if they were to take the game to the opposition in terms of not just stopping the likes of De Bruyne and Silva dictating the tempo from midfield, but also initiating attacking moves himself from deep with his rather underrated passing range.
