im
with you
on that... even if we do nt wanted, wenger likes to play a cam in one of the
wing to get more possesion... im
on th more dinamic play
with to fast wingers who have goals and can get the line to take the pass to our target man (giroud or other)... because of that also is that wenger need a player
on the cf who can play holdup playing... but, if wenger continiue to play that way and demands a player
with good technique and short pass, i thing he also need to go for a player
with goals and more
pace than ramsey... he play ramsey there because he shows that he knows where is the f * net and have the technique and pass... but he needs more
pace and even better dribbling skills... in that case i would go for isco or gotze

pace uptop but wenger does a complete u-turn and puts ozil

Ramsey other than
pace issue (which anyways is ok

wing.

I hope Wenger plays Ozil in his fav role today and Sanchez and Cazorla stay
on the
wing and make runs behind the defenders, the
pace we have in Welbeck

with Ramsey will make us less predictable in attack!
It should've been Walcott or Welbeck instead of Ramsey

wing to provide the threat of

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 formation won't work this season
with Giroud out till after Xmas and
with Wenger spending so much
on pace for the
wings, our style of play will have to change or we won't be scoring any goals.
NACHO MONREAL 5.5 The Spaniard look good

Given Reading's penchant for a cross from the
wings, Arsene Wenger could be tempted to start

With three at the back the full backs press higher but we need to get
pace and presence

The main problem for me is our tactics; central midfielders occupying
wing positions
with wingers
on the bench, no runners ever in behind the opposition defence, passing football

pace with the ball, instead opting for a sideways or backwards pass and an overall lack of counter attacking, penetrating play.

with ozil having free role behind sanchez and ox
on right that gives us plenty of
pace and will allow ozil to get

on the
wing espec as he is poor at tracking back so lets play to his strengths that will get the best out of him and in turn create more chances for forwards!

on the

pace, ability to beat a player and to put crosses in as you'd expect from a «real» winger.
It's about time

wings and the additions up front, we'll be able to score plenty that way.
well ppl were saying arsenal badly needed a striker
with pace and better finishing, now those fans have been proved right which cud have been the difference last season.unfortunately wenger thought otherwise.dont understand why is ozil played
on the
wing when hes PROVEN to be efficient in middle (and wenger cites example of brazilian team winning world cup
with no10's, oh dear!.
wenger is a very stuborn manager and his actions as always caused us games, i will continue to say this when arsenal plays
with pace they do well i remember when playing ramsey
on the
wing he was awful same as diaby also when we had denilson and fabregas in midfield van persie would come into the middle to assist play but since we have good midfieders now i expect wenger to use proper wingers such as ox, campbell, sanchez, serge, theo e.t.c. putting midfieders
on the
wing loses pact and we» r easily caged.

with AMs
on the
wing is that they are reluctant to get in the penalty box, that's what makes Ramsey so effective, he is one of the only ones in midfield these days who has no
pace but knows when to run in the box as support (resulting in goals, freeing up the striker, or just getting an awkward defensive position to take advantage of.
We'll need
pace at the back to deal
with Hazard's

pace and DIRECTNESS (as it was
with Alexis)
on the right
wing.
