Arsenal Tactics

Ramsey's Best form came while Özil was in the team(13-14 first half of the season)

also Alexis is as bad defensively as mesut but the former tricks ppl to think he is hard worker(he just runs around and press individually but still keeps disrupting teams' defensive shape most of time)

I really hope Wilshere is coming back for real. He looks more agile than he used to be and seems like his touch has returned. Good signs. Just need to see how he does in the PL now.

Maybe we can build something like this


---------------------Cech---------------------
Bellerin--------Koscielny---Monreal-----KOLASINACCCCCC
--------------Xhaka-------Wilshere
------Ramsey------------------------Ozil------
---------------Sanchez-----Lacazette---------

That new dome do' is doing wonders for his aerodynamics

It's the spirit of ljungberg

Yeah man it would be soooo wonderful to see him just staying fit for a change, and I'm sure he would be a really good weapon in the squad if he does so.

Very good article by Tim Stillman on how Arsene may not like using Ozil and Sanchez together

Would you drop Xhaka for Wilshere if he stays fit and continues to perform? Or too risky since Wilshere isn't a defensive minded player?

I'd only play Wilshere as part of a midfield three or as an attacker. Playing him deep takes away his dribbling and associative play with our attackers.

Xhaka-Ramsey
----Wilshere--

May have some potential then.

And play him next to Ramsey?

Might be too risky, especially in bigger games

SUbs: GK, Ramsey Holding, Elneny, Giroud, Welbeck, Walcott, Iwobi

looks good on paper (as it accommodates majority of our best players) but might leak goals left right and center due to non existent midfield unless specific instructions are provided (which never happens)
