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

Last season the Rockets had one of the best offenses in the league and played at one of the fastest paces.

When Bellerin first came into the side he not only defended well but was always so dangerous going forward.His pace and ability to go outside his marker gave us an attacking outlet that allowed us to play without a recognised right sided attacker which coincided with Walcott getting less and less game time.We all thought this boy was going to turn into someone very special and so obviously did the management who apparently renewed his contract on a reputed # 100k per week.What have we seen since then?A player that seems as indecisive and under coached as the rest of the defenders at the club.A player that has rarely delivered a performance that reflected his initial early form.A player whose body language seems to display his displeasure at being at our club when Barcelona reputedly offered # 40m for him in the close season.

Laca has a beard - so does Giroud.Other than the fact they are both French there is no comparison.Give this kid (yeah I know he's 26 but that's still young at my age) the service and he will be a top top player.Look at his movement and see how frustrated he gets as the ball continually goes from side to side and backwards.I see a lot of Ian Wright in this boy but even Wrighty would struggle with the way we are set up and play.When Sánchez is gone he will become our main man and just watch the difference.Remember those days when the football was slick and fast?Remember when we had pace all through the team and had players who knew how to use it?When we change manager a bring in a coach who gets the best from players by playing to their strength you will see a totally different Lacazette and Arsenal

i think this could officially be the start of the end for wenger his blind arrogance has cause him to buy welbeck in the sheer belief that AGAINST THE ODDS HE CAN BEAT THE REST OF THE BIG 4 WITH ONE ARM BEHIND HIS BACK we should be buying top top top european c / l standard players not sunderland spuds everton standard players thats about welbecks standard of club in all truthful reality he is an honest hard working player but wenger thinks he can coach the mediocrity out of him he is truely insane its a guaranteed source of goals we need not more fancy hold up play and «pace» and missing chance after chance so the postman is to be joined by the manchester metro tram absolute disgrace he has kidded on ozil and sanchez they must be wondering what is going on atm they are seeing the true wenger now just panicking and not panicking very well to that effect and for some reason wenger has gone all kinky for english players for some strange reason at least chambers has great potential welbeck has past that stage and is a seasoned pro now and he is no where near what we need wenger is trying to show how great he is by whiping the back out of the same players week after week in the vain hope that he can win the league without rotating ever and they will get injured and he wont have learned his lesson and we will pay for it in the end best last day transfer would have been a 4 year contract for klopp

«[We need to] play our game at a good pace.

our problem is not the defense we cant just score goals with so many attempts we shoudl have scored 4 - 5 goals and win it by 5 - 2 without a creative midfielder like Cazorla or Ramsey (when he plays well) our attacking play is very predictable maybe playing Iwobi instead of Elneny or Coq is at least better But Wenger's biggest mistake was to play Chambers instead of Bellerin Bellerin with his pace opens up the opponents.

I would play chambers in dm position alongside ramsey 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 ball more and produce his magic passes he will be much more influential then stuck out 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!

Nacho is playing well at the moment because he has had a decent run of games and will only get better if he continues, gibbs may have better pace, but monreal wins in other departments, the only reason why GIBBS get more games than monreal is because wenger is intent on selecting his english core, to the detriment of the team at times.

if you watch arsenal place I see so much space and no runs no runs at all only when in the box if you watch Leicester they are always makeing runs all over the place that's how you score goals against a team like Southampton they controlled the game it was not unlucky just like chelsea can do control the game and won arsenal players don't believe they can win the title the players in that team play without heart you know why because Im sure wenger tells them becareful we don't need anymore Injurys what kind of mentality is that also I will pick out Ramsey he is playing like a player who is leaveing the club he and flamini just don't work Ramsey is not playing good at all wenger can blame make excuses but truth is he is the manager he make the tactics and he gets it wrong all the time giroud has no pace none bench him against some teams and play pure pace make runs ox Walcott but they don't Walcott has lost it his pace has gone its clear or he fears I jury how if a player is fit put your all in forget injury if you get Injured then so be it but if your fit and your Walcott run put yourself about wenger should leave because he.

Therefore Arsenal would be maximising his abilities at what Giroud is good at, rather than expecting him to beat defenders with pace and be the energetic striker that simply does not fit in with his style of play.

Ozil playing as the extra CM at times and moving up to play ACM at other times, moving between the lines and now he will have pace around him to make use of his passing range better.

I didn't watch the match last night as I was on the field playing I ran my heels off I was in their faces I was angry I got a well - deserved yellow and could have been sent off later on I intercepted a good few balls and assisted with 2 goals and won the match From the highlights and the analysis I understand the Arsenal were weak in midfield the Arsenal needs an enforcer someone just like me a motivator and in the face of the opponents a thorn in the side I also believe MR wenger was at fault we all knew we would be weak in defence the least MR wenger should have had is a strong fresh midfield after all we had a tough encounter with city + traveling why didn't he use Rosciky, Carzola and Campbell On a different note I like chamberland stature he is tall and has pace and energy why not adapt him to the defensive midfield position with clear emphasis to be in the opponents face The arsenal and Mr wenger need to wake up fast now we have this weekend to prepare for Chelsea if we believe we are title contenders

This team is at their best when they are pushing the pace and playing relentlessly aggressive team defense.

Ozil is a class player and it's not like we have them in abundance.Sign Mikki and Abua and play them up top with Laca.Skill pace and desire in all of them.Ozil is at his best when he has technically astute players in front of him which is why he was voted German National Team Player of The Year 5 times in 6 years.Giroud - No movement and pace and only dangerous when attacking balls in the box.Despite what is said his hold up play is awfull and goes to ground like he's been shot with a Buffalo Gun at the slightest contact.Walcott - Pace but no brain.The stats tell a better picture of a player who was NEVER good or consistent to ever be considered anything other than average at best.Wellbeck - Good pace and effort but little to offer as a goalscorer.Back - up at best.This is what Ozil has had to work with (I have photo shopped Sánchez from my life forevpace and desire in all of them.Ozil is at his best when he has technically astute players in front of him which is why he was voted German National Team Player of The Year 5 times in 6 years.Giroud - No movement and pace and only dangerous when attacking balls in the box.Despite what is said his hold up play is awfull and goes to ground like he's been shot with a Buffalo Gun at the slightest contact.Walcott - Pace but no brain.The stats tell a better picture of a player who was NEVER good or consistent to ever be considered anything other than average at best.Wellbeck - Good pace and effort but little to offer as a goalscorer.Back - up at best.This is what Ozil has had to work with (I have photo shopped Sánchez from my life forevpace and only dangerous when attacking balls in the box.Despite what is said his hold up play is awfull and goes to ground like he's been shot with a Buffalo Gun at the slightest contact.Walcott - Pace but no brain.The stats tell a better picture of a player who was NEVER good or consistent to ever be considered anything other than average at best.Wellbeck - Good pace and effort but little to offer as a goalscorer.Back - up at best.This is what Ozil has had to work with (I have photo shopped Sánchez from my life forevPace but no brain.The stats tell a better picture of a player who was NEVER good or consistent to ever be considered anything other than average at best.Wellbeck - Good pace and effort but little to offer as a goalscorer.Back - up at best.This is what Ozil has had to work with (I have photo shopped Sánchez from my life forevgood or consistent to ever be considered anything other than average at best.Wellbeck - Good pace and effort but little to offer as a goalscorer.Back - up at best.This is what Ozil has had to work with (I have photo shopped Sánchez from my life forevGood pace and effort but little to offer as a goalscorer.Back - up at best.This is what Ozil has had to work with (I have photo shopped Sánchez from my life forevpace and effort but little to offer as a goalscorer.Back - up at best.This is what Ozil has had to work with (I have photo shopped Sánchez from my life forever).

not forgetting his not signing a new contract, Walcott could be our Ole Gunnar Solsjaer, those of you who don't know who i'm talking about Ole use to play for Man - U he was very successful sub player he would come on in around the 70th mnt and almost always scored a goal, many clubs wanted him as their main striker but Ole was happy at his club, position and terms, i think with Walcott's pace and being fresh around the 70 mnt he could do well for his club, but we all know he wont except that role

Walcott is good at playing on the shoulder of the last man and moving along the line pulling players around, his pace would of forced Reading to play deeper with there defenders and Theo is a much better finnisher compared to Welbeck.

«You could see that he was happy but overall what we were looking for was to play at pace and to develop our collective game and for long periods in the game that was quite good for us.

As well, Mustafi and most probably Koscielny in defence will be fit and available to play which in turn should make mosre stable with more pace and experience at the back with either Monreal or Per completing the back 3.

its hard cos he defends set plays very well and mertesacker is a liability for sunday, so we could use him... but theo means we break at pace an he has been scoring

I thought it was a good game played at pace and we were a little fortunate they did not score but how sh1t is Morata?

and I still reiterate my sentiments, many players are better suited to playing for smaller clubs with very little expectations and less pressure and I can name loads of very very talented players who just don't have the big club mentality, players who bloom and shine when they are the main attraction, the big fish in a small pond but who will whither and fade once they make the step up to bigger teams... with Arsenal Afobe will just be another player, another upstart who will find the pressure of delivering week in week out or be out of the team hard to deal with... at Bournemouth he has time to settle into his pace, if he misses chances like he did on his debut for the club he will still be given chances after chances, just like it happened withn him

Monreal (who should be asked to be cautious as he ventures forward) and hopefully with his defensive bias, should be able to track back and help out in the defense when we are short at the back, and OX on the right side who, from evidence of his having played there and performed in the shortness of this season games, and with enough pace to track back when necessary — but with a bias for going forward — would be a good mix to start with.

He ai nt got pace and flair like bellerin, but remember his early performaces, he was good defensively and has good experience, he even played emergency CB at one stage like can bellerin do that no?
