midfield that memorable day against Chelsea was Xhaka and Ramsey, the same duo who are suddenly too light and not tough enough to play in the middle,

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

It's difficult to blame Ozil for the difficulties he's faced at Arsenal without looking at the big picture... like the fans, he too was lied to by Wenger... there is no doubt in my mind that he was told by Wenger that he was trying desperately to recreate our earlier success by acquiring players that fit the system he
ran when Henry was in his prime... as we know this hasn't happened... in order for Ozl to flourish he needs some speed up front, forwards that can make intelligent
runs, a boss in the
midfield to compensate for his obvious defensive liabilities and defenders who can transition from defence to offence quickly and efficiently... much like he had in Real and
with the German National squad... unfortunately he ended up on a squad that has a striker who plays
with his back to goal, very few intelligent
runs into the box, minus Sanchez, no one to take pressure off him in the
midfield, once Cazorla was injured, average defensive
midfielders around him, which simply highlighted his lacking defensive qualities and defenders who lack the necessary cutting edge when it comes to transitional passing... instead of blaming Ozil, which is simply too easy, especially considering his mopey disposition, we should be asking ownership and / or Wenger why they brought him in if they didn't intend on doing what was necessary to get the best from him... can you imagine Ozil playing
with the likes of Henry, Viera, Petit and Pires, it would be incredibly to watch and even more difficult to stop... so the only thing different between his experiences in Real and
with the German team versus his time at Arsenal are the players around him and we all know who is in charge of making those decisions, the Grinch who stole soccer
He will NEVER be a proficient B2B
midfielder because he lacks the necessary defensive discipline and honestly suffocates Ozils creative space
with his mindless bombing
runs forward.

Ramsey performance had improved this season, its high time we reap our patience from Rambo, he was under rated in the team but he is doing great job

with new and improve wages asap, I prefer him to overrated Paul pogba in our
midfield.

midfield to give stability but he can't hold the ball in his feet or give the right pass in the right time so we can't dominate teams anymore especially

running everywhere 4 - ozil could have easily 30 + assists by now 5 - Olivier Giroud the handsom french guy shouldn't ever be a big team first choice striker 6 - where are the 4 world class strikers that wenger said we had i didn't se anyone of the yet

bellerin mustafi chambers... We have a non existent

runs deep and can no longer be treated
with a polishing here and there... Your endless reference to FIFA 18 has lost even it's flippancy... The club has entered the second tier of the EPL and serious supporters need to get behind a campaign to remove wenger and kroenke before we go the way of leeds villa and forest... All clubs
with wonderful pasts just like us
Let's not get carried away and think Wenger has learned his lessons he has not overnight become a tactical genius he was forced to play that way when ozil was not fit to play had he been available he would definitely played and then would have same defensive problems as before

Every time I think we've fallen as low as we can down drops the lift» we even have to listen to rumours in the next window we are that desperate, I agree
with a lot of you it's BS if we don't get CL (which we won't without signings) why would he come, and by the way this other
midfielder for 6 m, can't be bothered to check his name is a AM because we dout have enough lol, I will always be an arsenal fan but I can not condone the way the club is
run and the lies we keep being fed
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 PLAYS A SLOW DM / CB AND EXPECT TO B REGARDED AS CHAMPIONSHIP MATERIAL.IT HURTS GUYS, REALLY HURTS.
Not
with our vulnerable holding
midfielders, we need to play Kant's type of
midfielder if we want take that risk, eleny and shaka don't retrieve ball from opponent, they
run around the field all the time, giroud has prove himself but is time we look beyond him and sign quality players next summer
So if Arsenal can win away to Everton next weekend

Nice to see someone
run with ball in the

After seeing a couple of games where he featured and also the one for england he's got it all for me... 1) He has the physical ability to offer the kind of game that our Giroud offers (back to the net: deflecting, relaying passes and 1 - 2 touches) but also 2) Pace, mobility and technical agility to offer so much more: dribbling past opponents (creating space),
running / turning over defences either to lay down the killing pass to a better placed player or finishing a through ball from our over talented
midfield and all that
with speed and 3) Tactical awareness, willingness to defend players if asked (like the game Man U-Real Madrid in the CL) and could provide support not only in the air on corners!!
I would love to see a big dm option come in, but again
with all our
midfield options due back by the time we face spurs (in 5 matches time) I can see wenger

The only thing which makes our team unbalanced is playing the luxury item we bought called ozil.I thought he would need time to adjust to physicality of premier league so i supported him, but the guy hasn't improved he tries to dribble past ppl but
runs into them somehow, tries to do showboating at unnecessary time which he fails to do miserably.And i see him giving too many back passes when he should drive forward.And the biggest reason i stopped liking him as a player is bcoz of his sulky attitude.No passion or drive for the club, as if he wanted to be at some other club and is just doing the job without his heart in it.He neeeds to be placed on the bench and make him work hard to retain his place.Ramsey and coq in middle
with ox and sanchez on both wing and cazorla as cam will make us a more balanced
midfield.

Possible rotations which wouldn't weaken the team significantly... Gab for Per Debuchy for Hector (if Debuchy is alright) Gibbs for Monreal Theo for Rambo (Theo can play as a true RW
with Debuchy being restraint in his forward
runs) Jack for Santi (Jack to do the Deep Lying role) Welbz for Sanchez (stick to the right... will support Gibbs on his forward
runs) Rosicky for Ozil (TR7 is still an effective creator and adds bite to the
midfield)
