I would like to see OX and Alexis
on the wings and Welbeck in the middle, maybe Campbell substitution for OX after 60 min.
I honestly wouldn't mind a 442 with Giroud Sanchez up top...... we've got more than enough space
on both wings for our proper winners to battle out for, Ramsey wouldn't have to be kept on the wings.......
But Wenger always finds a way by putting a cam
on the wings.
@ymoola: we've had pace
on the wings this season but for some reason wenger chose not to put our speediest players there (ozil was there, & cazorla).
Start of last season with ramsey and occationally walcott woth ozil in tht 10 role worked great once both ramsey and walcott got injured ozil season was pretty much over, we were calling for wenger to provide ozil with pace uptop finally this season we have so mich pace uptop but wenger does a complete u-turn and puts ozil
on wings
Watched a few games with him for club and country and I saw a better option than most of what we have
on the wings right now.
I did find it interesting that while everyone was loading up
on wings and smallish forwards, the Spurs went out and got bigger.
When Jack was pushed out
on the wings last season he was still working hard, whats Ozil's excuse?
I'd imagine Arsene being Arsene, he'll end up sticking one, or even two
on the wings.
We need both Lacazette and Mahrez Alexis and Mahrez
on the wings Ozil @ CAM Lacazette up front That would be a world class attack
Dyabala or Reus to help out
on the wings and relieve Sanchez.
Diego Costa (top quality striker) with guys like Hazard, Willian, Schurrle
on the wings who can also score a good amount of goals and assist.
The problem for Jack is that for him to play in his favourite cam position, Arsenal has to shift better cam than
him on the wings and he does not work out.He tries do tdo well but the entire system is doom to fail.
If Wenger alternates using them in the middle and puts some real pace
on the wings (Campbell, Walcott, Ox) Arsenal should do fine.
I can have full trust on Kos and Mertz provided they operate their forward passes from the backline only, our attack is good, Sanchez and Ox
on wings will track back and attack, while Ozil have to be little more aggressive than his usual days to overcome the likes of Matic, Terry, and Cahill.
I do think with his skill he will figure out how to play well with him, but I don't think we will ever get his best with the way the team is currently set up unless we have a central striker who is more comfortable
on the wings and willing to step out wide while Alexis roams around.
Look at our best games this season (Chelsea, Basil etc) and you will notice they were based on pace with Sanchez as striker supported by two speedsters
on the wings.
No, Id rather just go with Danny, and then Iwobi and Alexis
on the wings.
We can't keep on playing Ramsey and cazorla
on the wings.
You can say that Wenger was playing smart guy by playing him out of poz
on the wings so he could learn one trick or two, but this failed badly.
the only good out and out striker we have is Giroud, the rest are either not good enough (eg Sanogo), or better of
on the wings (eg Welb, Podol,)....
Messi at false 9 with Dembele and Coutinho
on the wings and Eriksen behind would be a really good lineup.
Ozil has played
on the wings before.
Enough of using Ramsey and cazorla
on the wings.
If he wants to rescue this season shake things up, play sanchez in his natural position (CF), TAKE ramsay out of the line up and have campbell / walcott
on the wings.
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
We're then left with Sanchez, Walcott, Chamberlain and Gnabry, with Welbeck usable
on the wings as well.
If Wenger would only see reason and play 2 wingers like Ox / Poldi
on the wings or Campbell / Theo
on the wings or Sanchez / Theo
on the wings.
He is no doubt world class but we have Sanchez and Wlacott
on the wings who are as good as Rues (Sanchez is better).
On wings we have: Alexis, Wallcott, Ox, Gnabry.
The main difference in the game was having pacey players
on the wings and at CF with Ozil and Cazorla playing centrally where they excel.
Giroud has had many terrible performances as CF, no one says he should be playing
on the wings.
He can play
on both wings, trace back to defend and also scores goals and makes assists.
Giroud should lead the front line, with Sanchez
on the wings.
Personally I think we are ok
on the wings if Theo stays.
Ramsey
on the wings is a terrible idea.
Get real in his almost 5 years at Arsenal his scored less than 15 goals in all his games played.He is great
on the wings and should stay there, this converting a winger in2 a striker talk is ridiculous, the striker we are looking for belongs to another team, so let's just go out and buy him, SIMPLE!!!!!! But yes the goal Ox scored against Chivas was pure class.
Personally, in addition to a WC striker, I would get Reus who can play
on both wings AND attacking Midfielder (We always have injuries so he will always play unless injured)
We have Alexis, Giroud, Welbeck, Lucas, Akpom, Sanogo for CF
On wings we have Alexis, Walcott, Ox, Lucas, Welbeck, Campbell, Iwobi and Ramsey (Wenger uses him on right sometimes)
Same with OX, he can compete for the box to box and
on the wings.
I heard Roben saying «I had enough of playing against Arsenal, I am tired of scoring against them, and I am not ready to be the cause for the sucking of Arsene, I hope the gaffer will start Ribbery and Costa
on the wings.
But against top sides like Chelsea there was no space so our fast wingers would have been no use so we needed fighters and more technical players
on the wings.
Wenger playing Ozil and Carzola
on the wings, Ramsey too far forward in his «I love Jack» 4 -1-4-1 formation.
Plus if we added a top quality striker, Sanchez and Theo could situate comfortably
on the wings with Mesut Ozil taking his natural cam position with the pace of the top quality striker, sanchez and Theo an asset for his game.
we lose too much pace
on the wings
Attacking wise I think we can match them, Giroud is nowhere near an Aguero, but with Alexis and Walcott
on the wings I think we are about level.
I mean wat's with playing carzoLa
on the wings and starting OX again?
He has one of the highest dribble success rate this season, his skill set is better served
on the wings or behind the striker.
Ozil is very familiar with Di Maria and imagine Ozil as CAM with Di Maria and Sanchez
on the wings...
Fans turn on him, thinking you are a 42m buy so you have to perform
on the wings aswell, we do nt give a damn.
