I agree and even though the Community Shield against Chelsea next weekend is not that important in the grans scheme of things I think we need to show that last weekend was a blip and just as a fast start in the Premier League is important I think a strong start to our Emirates Cup would be handy so let's not have some inexperienced young midfielder playing on the right of defence.

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

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.

we don't need any more midfielders we have enough what with Santi Cazorla, Jack Wilshere coming back and what with Alex Iwobi playing the way he is and its time Theo Walcott started playing on the right wing like he use to, so it remains us to concentrate on a WC striker and may be an understudy to Laurent Koscielny / Per Mertesacker

But he is one of the best off the ball runner that we have — opponents does not want to play high defensive line or press our midfielder higher on the pitch due to the threat he pose — you may argue that the long distance scorcher by Sanchez in the FA final is due to their CBs slow in closing him down, wearying of the Walcott threat.

The Spaniard's versatility can see him play in various positions, including left - back, central defence and in midfield, but given his natural position is on the left, Conte could yet decide to continue his search for a centre - half too.

Now we are back on this DM issue again, of a truth we need a strong athletic midfielder buh i believe it has to do with the way the team has been established to play ie the attacking way.Arsenal under wenger is set up to be attack minded so getting a DM will always be a priority Buh imho, i think even Matic, Matinez, kondogbia just to name a few will still struggle in our team.

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!

Ramsey — 4 Played like a 16 year old on his PL debut for the majority of the time until we conceded and then he started to play like a midfielder.

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has slammed the FA officials who refused to allow Nemanja Matic to play in the Capital One Cup final against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, following the midfielder's red card for his clash with Burnley's Ashley Barnes.

As reported by The Mirror the midfield maestro has declared himself fit to play after coming through an hour or so with the under 21 side on Tuesday.

Throughout his career so far, Goretzka has proved to fans that he is able to play in a variety of positions, with the player having been deployed all through the centre of the pitch, and even as a right and left midfielder on occasions.

He can also play as a CDM or on the left side of the midfield and is a player who can play genuinely in more than one position.

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.

It's the main reason Ozil has flourished, Cazorla can play deeper because of LeCoq and Ozil can do what he does best thanks to both midfielders, meanwhile Sanchez is there to give us the edge Ozil can't provide while Walcott / Giroud focus on finishing the chances and nothing else.
