if i am correct @ SD... your analysis shows you see the forest for the trees, most comments just give their opinion like they are playing Championship manager - as JT said coquelin has helped slightly fix the problem of the overexposure of our defence to counter attacks and the full backs don't both bomb forward as much, the reason monreal starts ahead of Gibbs - walcott always looks lost and confused now when he makes appearances, and never wants to create or get too involved in build up play just wants to run into the middle and get on the end of balls.

I can't stand welbeck for one reason he's not better than what we have but if you played a front two of welbeck and Sanchez then Cambpell left and Walcott or chaimbo right that would give us a huge counter attacking style with lots of skill and pace, but here is the problem to do this you need big strong DM to win the ball back when we defend and we do t have them, flaming is reckless and getting old, Arteta is good on the Bala but not quick or strong enough, please don't say Diaby as we all know he will be inj soon again, then also what to do with Ozil and Corzola?

I understand what you're saying bounty hunter, but I feel like the week prior to big games should be enough time to at least tweak our formation slightly or employ a certain tactic, whether it's counter attack with less possession or playing with two strikers up top instead of the lone striker, I would hope that players at the level required for arsenal would be able to adjust to this as it seems I tend to hear other teams coming away from big wins uttering phrases like «we worked on the manager's ideas this week and executed them well», I cant remember our players saying this for a while.

As it stands, this squad is fairly well positioned to compete for the Wenger Cup and make a deep run in the Europa, if and only if we play first stringers in Europe and use the bench for the League and FA Cups... that being said, and based on the fragility of the manager and the team in recent campaigns, it's more likely that Wenger will focus on a top 4 finish and the FA Cup... while the reasons for such an approach may appear logical, it would confirm a rather disturbing trend and appear counter intuitive for any team which claims to have higher aspirations... I feel that Wenger simply can't afford to put all his eggs in the Europa basket because if he fails the potential backlash could cripple any top 4 chances due to the aforementioned fragile psyche that tends to rear it's ugly head like our own personal groundhog day each and every February... furthermore, can you even imagine Wenger bringing in the necessary recruits to adequately supply top quality lineups in a Thursday / Sunday dominated schedule; based on everything I've seen in recent years, I can't see that happening... in fact, mark my words, it's more likely that we see Lacazette playing out wide in Alexis's position with Giroud at striker, than we see Wenger make the necessary moves to right this ship... god, I hope I'm wrong but is it really that far - fetched considering what we've witnessed for past several years
