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.

obviously I would prefer to have a much more suitable alternative in the defensive midfielder positions but if they focused more on defensive end and the occasional long - ball, this would allow Bellerin and Sead ample opportunities to bomb forward on their respective wings while still having enough cover to maintain their defensive shape... it would likewise allow for overlapping runs on both wings, thereby letting both Sanchez and Perez to cut inside and get shots away in and around the top of the box with their most dominant feet... if goals were needed I would sub Bellerin for OX and bring Ramsey in for Elneny then switch to a 3 -2-4-1 (more of a 3 -1-5-1 with Ramsey playing higher up the pitch) and I would only use Giroud as a sub when the game dictated it for tactical reasons... this would allow us to be a high energy team with incredible link - up play and a much more direct approach in the offensive end

The duo will boost their midfield defensively, allowing their more creative teammates to play with freedom.

I get your point mate.But in truth Ramsey is the CM and Xhaka is the DM according to our formation anf tactic.It's even debatable if Xhaka is capable of playing DM.I think Ramsey's tactical awareness is poor but he has every right to take risks and move into the opposition box.He's a box to box player.The only problem is Ramsey overdoes it.If we had a proper CDM the team would be more balanced.Now it's like we have two CM's playing in midfield and due to their poor tactical awareness we're always left exposed.I conclude by reminding people that Wilshere is better footballer and is more intelligent than Xhaka.It'll be better playing Wilshere and pairing him with a CDM than having Xhaka play there.He just gets to play over him becausr we signed him for # 35.

And on top of it he has great technical skill to fit in the mould & not be a simple destroyer just like Kante & maybe more... 5) Now getting both would be too much to ask... specially with our already stacked midfield & with Elneny bright outings since trusted into a bigger role spell good things ahead of next season & with full preseason... even Coquelin is playing less!

It's difficult to blame Ozil for the difficulties he's faced at Arsenal without looking at the big picture... like the fans, he too was lied to by Wenger... there is no doubt in my mind that he was told by Wenger that he was trying desperately to recreate our earlier success by acquiring players that fit the system he ran when Henry was in his prime... as we know this hasn't happened... in order for Ozl to flourish he needs some speed up front, forwards that can make intelligent runs, a boss in the midfield to compensate for his obvious defensive liabilities and defenders who can transition from defence to offence quickly and efficiently... much like he had in Real and with the German National squad... unfortunately he ended up on a squad that has a striker who plays with his back to goal, very few intelligent runs into the box, minus Sanchez, no one to take pressure off him in the midfield, once Cazorla was injured, average defensive midfielders around him, which simply highlighted his lacking defensive qualities and defenders who lack the necessary cutting edge when it comes to transitional passing... instead of blaming Ozil, which is simply too easy, especially considering his mopey disposition, we should be asking ownership and / or Wenger why they brought him in if they didn't intend on doing what was necessary to get the best from him... can you imagine Ozil playing with the likes of Henry, Viera, Petit and Pires, it would be incredibly to watch and even more difficult to stop... so the only thing different between his experiences in Real and with the German team versus his time at Arsenal are the players around him and we all know who is in charge of making those decisions, the Grinch who stole soccer

@muffdiver Yes he was a huge asset but RVP was not guaranteed — how many full seasons has he played with us... with our style since he left — we got more goals from our midfielders, even JW started scoring... Ryt now we get goals from Sanchez, OG, Santi, Wellbeck, Ramsey, TR7, etc..

Although Wilshere has not nailed down a regular position in his career so far, playing both as an attacking midfielder, either centrally or on either flank, as well as a more defensive - minded player, it appears that he wants to work on becoming more of a deep - lying ball player in the Alonso or Pirlo mould.

Our manager is thought to be a long term admirer of the 22 - year old and according to The Mirror he might be about to make a club record offer of around # 55 million for Draxler, with the idea that he might be able to play as a centre forward for us as well as his more usual roles of wide forward or attacking midfielder.

He's vulnerability a lack of Height during set pieces (I.e Giroud being the only realistic target because of his height and the fact he is a striker) has meant our CB «s are playing a bit more up top than they should be and because our midfield is mostly attacking defusing the situation / stopping opposition attacks in the first half of the season wasn't happening, the second half we had coquelin but if he gets injured, without any cover at CDM we end up in the same situation.

Seriously, our team is playing well, our midfielders are creating more chances than any other teams, our forwards have started to look sharp.

if the energy on the field doesn't translate back into some meaningful movement and attacking, then what's the use of playing more midfield engines anyway!?
