Padolski, Walcott, and Cazorla

When they're all fit, how will Arsenal line up? What is Arsenal's XI?

I called it a year or two ago on the Lithium forums. Arsenal to take the league this year.

I simply can't even name an XI. I am too fondly attached to this team.

We'll likely line-up like this:

Szczesny

Sagna - Mertesacker - Koscielny - Gibbs

Ramsey - Wilshere

Walcott - Özil - Cazorla

Giroud

In practice, we pretty much play a variation of 4-4-2 or 4-2-2-2, where Walcott becomes a forward and Cazorla plays as an extra midfielder. It's likely, then, that Podolski will play a bench role where he'll fill in for either Cazorla or Giroud and be an impact player.

Sounds all well and good but we're lacking depth and perhaps quality in forward areas. We won't win the league without that.

Ramsey---Wilshere is too attacking. Need an Arteta-type in there to keep things organized

Don't forget Diaby, who should be fit in time for the World Cup In Qatar

Diaby, fit?

TBH, I see Wilshere getting dropped in favour of Arteta-Ramsey.

Ramsey- Wilshere will never happen

We only need a WC striker now. Shame RVp is gone.

A WC striker + Giroud and we would be ok for the next 3-5 years.

Podolski is a good impact player .
