Plenty of games to go but we'll see what the team looks like in the coming games.Originally Posted by Dein-machine
What about last season? Wilshere and Ramsey have no partnership. It just doesn't work.
Plenty of games to go and this is by far the best we've played in years. I'd keep the same line up for the next game and see what happens.
Great win last night, missed both goals sadly as I didn't get in until about 25 minutes of the match had gone but saw the reply, Ozil's was excellent and so was Girouds.
Must say Ozil is having a big impact already and I think he's helping some of the others raise their game, like Ramsey and Giroud. If we can win out two remaining home games then we should be through meaning we can relax for the tough away games at Dortmund and Napoli (they'll be more of a threat at home of course and with Higuain back).
I love Jack, but he wouldn't feature in my Strongest XI. Right now I like the Ramsey & Flamini partnership with Ozil playing behind Giroud. I would pick Theo & Cazorla for the flanks. Arteta & Rosicky would miss out too, as would Podolski. When everybody is fit we have great depth & quality in Central Midfield and on the Flanks.
Jack's having a season where he's finding his feet. A kind of adjustment period. One player usually goes through this every season and this year it's Jack.
We can rest him in the league and play Arteta, Flamini, Ramsey and Ozil to make sure Jack doesn't exhaust himself the way he has done in the past. That doesn't mean he'll never play, it just means he wouldn't be in my starting XI right now. He can come off the bench in the latter parts of the game like he did last night when we want to control the game, and there will be inevitable injuries between now and the end of the season where he can claim a starting spot again. We can also play him in the cup games where he can be the heart and soul of us reaching a final this year, meaning we can rest the big guns for the league.
In other words, we have some depth and options. It feels fucking good for once.
I usually support Theo but he'd be on the bench for me. Impact sub to stretch the game if needed. Hanging on the back of a defender and looking for service all game won't cut it. In the long term, he's going to have a short career when his pace has gone.
I'd play Cazorla and Ozil out wide. Flam, Arteta and Ramsey in the middle.
not unless he divided himself into a dozen masked chaps wearing napoli stuff and swinging belts at people
I repeat, you play your best player(s) down the middle. As good as Ramsey has been I see nothing that makes him worthy of effectively superseeding Ozil and shunting him out wide.
Ozil drifts and doesn't stay in the middle of the field and it's the same for Cazorla. They're intelligent enough to interchange.
Maori wouldn't have left any evidence, or pies.
Giroud mos def has a spring in his step mate.
