Wilshere for all his injuries is far better than both Ramsey and Xhaka.I just don't know the importance of Xhaka in the team if he can't defend.He's the real problem in the squad.Why do fans keep accepting mediocrity?Aren't we tired?It's painful seeing him play every match in our midfield then the same people who claim to love him would come and be making noise about how average he is after a bad match forgetting that he's actually average.I'd easily play Maitland - Niles or Coquelin over Xhaka.They would provide more steel in the midfield.Is it going to take us four seasons to realize how average Xhaka is?The painful things is that by that time many trophies would've have by passed us.

Even with all of our injury problems in every area of the pitch but especially in defence and central midfield, Arsenal are finding a way to dominate games and more importantly, to win them.

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.

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.

If he turns out good for us, I don't think we will have problems in our midfield in the next 3 years... Coq: 24 Xhaka: 23 Elneny: 23 Wilshere: 24 Ramsey: 25... And of course Cazorla who may leave in the next 2 years... and then we have Toral and Bielik to step up especially Toral..

If Sanchez is fit, its a no brainer for him to play however if he's not 100 %, I would rather he's rested against manure.he's a very important player in our tittle chase, so I prefer he's missed in one game rather than miss a couple of weeks, which could happen if he's unduly risked.for the midfield, le coq and boomer.yea carzola's absence has been felt however xhaka had his best game so far against spuds, only problem was the massive physical presence of dembele and wanyama, which fortunately manure can not boast off.so I expect we dominate them with combination of lecoq's tackling and xhaka's intricate passes and his extra physical presence.

You cant escape he fact that Podolski was played rarely and when he was he was played out of position much the same way that Wenger has assembled a squad of players most of which are a talented bunch, but, Wenger has failed to build a team who fit n with each other, we have a midfield that overtly populated with players who al excel in the same role BUT have no solid defensive midfield talent and no options in defence when players have crap periods or are long term injury problems.

the truth is that arsenal are not a coherent team anymore... not clear what their footballing strategy is... seem to have given up on passing game for counterattack which might work in odd games but wont win us anything unless we have a midfield that can hold on to ball because we will be under the kosh most of game and will eventually buckle... but the problem was clear at half time in this gane and wenger did nt do anything about it... and if he is paid for anything it is to make those kind of critical decisions....

The problem lies exactly in the sad fact, that Cazorla was needed in the deeper areas of our midfield, and he simply rejected his role by hanging around as a CAM.

Chelsea is champion but the will buy De Griezman from Atletico de Madrid they have the best defence in the league, the best Midfield in the league with De Griezman, hazard and Costa they will be came invecibles that what Mourinho want to take from Wenger and do not forget that Wenger will never beat Mourinho, we just need 3 world class players just like Henry said, But Wenger have no ambitions to win the league, next year will be the same excuses why we fail again, Mourinho sold Mata even so he was voted the best Chelsea player the previous two years, and Wenger want to keep ineffective players like Walcott, Wiltshere, Diaby, Flamini, Ryo.Sanogo.Welbeck, sad but that is our fate with Wenger only problem for us the risk of loosing player like Alexis will be great if we do not win next year, we must to buy like Henry said, like Carzola is saying, we lost so many good players because they want to win and they are winning with others clubs.why we do not give ouself a chance of winning the EPL?

Wengers should have just added a very good DM and another quicker defender to treat those kind of problems but eish he is too stubborn to drop his new captain or Flamini and he had to change the formation to make sure the midfield players defend and attack in numbers with one DM to always protect the defense but this is not happening and Wenger will not change that until maybe 2 or 3 years because he is not under any pressure to do well after all!

no one in the league has a better Midfield, Ramsey, Cazorla, Ozil (especially as he played yesterday), OX, even Wheelchair lots of potential, Walcott proved he can be our Striker, the rotation Wenger played yesterday with Walcott and GIROUD could be the solution to our problems, each one scored in each halve...... Welbeck well there might be where we need a third striker, Welbeck is not consistent...... so an backup for COQ and a third proven Striker should bring us the title next year

A midfield that suits Theo will / may not suit Giroud and that's where the problem lies... I'm sure Wenger has something up his sleeves to have offered Theo and Giroud high wage contracts... For tough away games, e.g chelsea, play a double DM and hit on counter, that makes Theo ideal... And at lower team that likes to depend deep in their half, he can play Giroud because of his physical presence and great hold up play, or even play both depending... All in all another DM is HIGHLY needed.

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.

If khedira has any sense he will run in the opposite direction why would he want to sign for a bunch of losers him alone would not solve our problems he is not a holding midfielder which we are crying out for and we need at least 2 more defenders to even get anywhere near having enough quality to challenge for anything!

If Cazorla does have to miss the game against Middlesborough then Arsenal have a small problem in central midfield, with Coquelin and Elneny the only proper central midfielders he can call on and both of those are more defensively minded.
