I just think Wilshere is much better suited to our style of play. The way Wilshere plays is just Arsenal all over, and he’s a lot more similar to someone like Cazorla that had a huge role in the way we played before.
Ramsey was doing pretty well, true, and I’m sure there’d be a position for him in the team but Wilshere comes out ahead right now imo.
Wenger’s attempt to fit Auba, Laca, Ozil & Mkhi into the same XI should be exciting
It’s very unlikely he’ll find a way to balance a team with those 4 players in it and it just gets worse when you look at our midfield options, we’re going full glass cannon.
4-4-2 makes the most sense to me. But for that to work we’ll need to find a better, more mobile partner for Wilshere in the summer and Wenger needs to install in this team that we keep at least four players behind the ball when attacking and not that the centre backs plus defensive midfielder get into one-v-one or three against four/five man situations.
Funny how I didn’t really get fully into the mood during the first part with the attack but when I started imagining having a competent CDM as well things started happening for me.
I think I learned something about myself there, thanks.
Would like to play a variation of a 433. Miki and Özil freely rotating as well as Auba and Laca as a front two. The width can come from Bellerin and Nacho because they always bomb forward and then Elneny will almost form a back three with Kosh and Mustafi. I rate Mustafi but yeah a couple times this year it seems his head has been elsewhere. The Swansea match sounded like a nightmare, but earlier in the year i can’t forget the mistake he made (lolpool?) then feigned injury to get taken off. That’s kind of a Walcott “they wanted it more” moment for me. So if we can pull off another transfer miracle and get Manolas I’d be over the fuckin moon. Luiz I’ll take although I don’t rate him but he tries hard.
