Pretty much. Will be waiting for the squad analysis thread to update before thinking about it too much. me sleepy now...

[Niall_Quinn]

What's on the bench though? That's what we'll be relying on when the injuries and suspensions hit.

This its an adequate starting XI for a club in our position (upper mid-table) but the squad is so weak once a CB gets injured we're fucked, once an attacking player gets injured we're fucked.

Basically we're fucked.

Arsenal :rose:

[Maestro]

Bench to choose from: Manuel,Fabianski, Gibbs, Jenkinson, Gay Lion, Squid, Miguel, Frimpong, Ramsey, Diaby, Rosicky, Arshavin, Yossi, Oxtail, Ryo, Young, Chamakh

Pretty shit tbf, cannot see one impact/game changing player there and Oxtail/Ryo/Frimpong/Ramsey/Miguel need time to grow.

Rosicky and Arshavin are at the very end of their productive careers, or maybe even past it.

Mnuel, Squid, Gay Lion, Kos & Chamakh must be investigated for masquerading as pro football players, conspiring to deliberately throwing games. Their transfers to the club must also be investigated.

Need to see this S.Korean captain play first. I doubt he's here to sit on the bench. He's probably shit though

Hell of a lot better than it was though. That line up on Sunday was pure desperation, surely the lowest point we'll ever sink to. Must be up from here???

Please...

He's here to cook for Arshavin.

After all the recent signings I think we have a proper strength in depth for the first time in years.

Schezz

Sagna Vermaelen Mertz Santos

Wilshere Song Arteta

Theo R.V.P Gervinho

Good team considering how bad it could have been after losing Nasri and Fabregas. And our strength in depth comes in the form of- Ramsey, Benayoun, Arshavin, Fimpong, Jenkinson, Chamakh (who is better than most give credit for), Daiby (same), Rosicky (one bad game against united, other than that good start to season and experienced), Koscielny (a definite prospect, gets way too much stick we cant expect a Vermaelen each time, but still needs to improve) Djourou (mmm), Fabianski, Gibbs, Chamberlin, Park...

Id say thats a pretty healthy squad.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

would like that back 4 and 2 up top

what to do about the midfield?
Areta in the centre with Sir Jack........Gerbil and either Yossi or Arshavin......however will play Song for defensive cover so can see the same formation, lone striker

woild like to Miya given a chance.....played plenty in Holland and cn hack I think

I actually forgot about Gervinho :lol:

Put him in my team ahead of Benayoun and swap positions with Arteta

With Frimpong, Coquelin and Song in the squad, we might see two 'holding' players in the middle more often this season (as against Udinese).

[server too busy!]

I didn't see Coq in the first team squad on the website, is he back with the reserves?

Im not keen on Song, seems errors follow him around. Roams up the pitch way too much, usually booked for something stupid within the first 15mins, from what i have seen, Frimmers is/will be better.

Yes he's been moved back to the reserves on that page so has ankifobe.

This would rather start frimpong or diaby or Ramsey ahead of song tbh. Song would be usefull in a 442 though.

Now we have Mikel, in the middle he should boss the likes of song to do what he needs to. which is the parker roll. Problem with song is that he gets caught out to easily then like you say does silly fouls and gets booked.

Change Squillaci to Miquel as he has gone above him now i reckon then we have decent back ups.

[GunnerFan4Life]

And maybe Coquelin for Eastmond if he's around.

Yep I'd go with this. I do however think Young may get quite a lot of game time on the flanks.

I wonder if Wenger will experiment with the formation this year? Was just watching La Liga and Pep is something else. He's not afraid to switch it up. Played a 3-4-3 for his opening game. Even if we don't change formations, we need to switch it up a bit so we're not predictable. Pep had a load of key players out injured and he switch for formation to make do of what he had for that one and it worked.

I hope we play in a different way this season. The quality of players is a problem at times, but so is the system. The movement of the front 3 will have to be more fluid and the middle 3 will have to be more compact and move up and down the field as one unit. No gaping gaps between them for teams to just storm through. But it's exciting times. With new players in, we get to see how the team sets up and what they can offer. First time I've been excited in a while.

I'm excited too - but I don't think our manager trusts himself enough tactically to mix it up.
