Chambers would have been
playing the holding midfield / 3rd Central Defender Role (Its still beats me how and why wenger didn't even try Vermaleen in that role — his cautious attitude is one of Arsenals biggest albatros) If Arsenal had started playing Joel Campbell on the flanks since the beginning of the season, when it was obvious Carzola was misfiring, Campbell will be getting used to the league by now and will have been chipping in with the odd goals time and again - but NO Arsene will stick with Carzola and even play him in the wings thereby putting pressure on gibbs because he lack the discipline to stay there and will rather keep roaming to the certain.

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.

lst season at stamford bridge, was the first time i saw that 4 -1-4-1 formation being used, and for some weird reason i feel a very strange negative vibe and well all know the outcome.the manager has come back with this formation and its not yielding result, but he still sticks with it.i do nt know much about formations dear friends, but if you are
playing a slow dm in arteta and a very very slow cb, then you are toast against quality teams with sound tactics.wen
playing wellbeck as a lone striker, i think 4 -2-3-1, will work better, but if we have a big player like oliver (boooos), thn we can try the 4 -1-4-1, thingy cos he can
hold the ball for our
midfielders to run in.but on the overall, shame on wenger for not giving our defence a good cover DM.NO BODY

Midfield is a very different matter.Arsenal still desperately need a proper defensive central player.Ozil in this current side can not be considered anything more than a luxury.All of Bournemouth's creativity will come down the flanks so it's necessary to put players on to the pitch who are prepared to fulfill their defensive duties.This also means that unless Ramsey can work out that he's
playing in

If Gabriel Paulista does leave Arsenal this summer due to his likely becoming surplus to requirements at Arsenal which himself might have sensed, apart of the 4 specialist defenders of: Koscielny, Monreal, Mustafi and
holding who have been regularly manning the Arsenal back three line of recent, other centre backs like Mertersacker & Chambers, and defensive wingbacks of Bellerin, Kolasinac, and the defensive
midfielders of Elneny & Niles, can all also
play as centrebacks in a back three or back four denfese - line whenever the need arised.
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.
He's a bit overrated I must say.I also don't get those who are asking him to tackle well.The fact is he's not a good tackler.I fear Wenger has made him untouchable in our team such that even if he
plays badly he still starts.I mean if people are saying he's not a DM in the first place then is he also a CM?If he's a CM does he have the quality to
play along side a DM?These are the questions we need to ask ourselves.If he's a CM then he's good at distributing from deep and also up top but he can't
hold thd ball in tight spaces or dribble which is very important.If he's a DM then he simply can't defend.That's why for us to be successful in the long term with him we need a hybrid
midfielder or what I call a defensive box to box
midfielder.

played in behind by our great
midfielders.

Despite man city spending over 200m pounds in d summer, just two injuries, they r
playing a
midfielder as a lwb and mangala is their defensive cover u guys should just stop moaning,, i think arsenal still have cover this season, a striking trio of welbeck, giroud and walcot can
hold their own, a
midfield duo of Wilshire and elneny can
hold their own, we might be light in defence buh not as terrible as u guys r exaggerating it, trsnsfer window is over let's support d guys

As I said after that game, the only reason City were toothless was that they
played 2
holding midfielders that are exactly the same, Fernandinho and Fernando are technically poor and can't create for toffee, but if City had Yaya Toure in that
midfield to absolutely bully the likes of Cazorla, Ramsey and The Coq it would have been a completely different game, City lost that Box to Box energy Yaya gives them and that
played right into our hand as they were static in
midfield..
we have enough
midfielders, OG should concentrate on his primary job (scoring goals) then the
hold up
play should just come as a bonus
