He could be dynamic on the left, right, or at center forward if he stayed away from the build up and stopped chasing the ball. It's why Barcelona got rid of him, imo.

That goal is another example of that but Sanchez is compelled to always run to the ball instead of just staying on the shoulder of the last defender and waiting for the ball.

If you want to get on Wenger, get on him for not instructing that of him.


Wenger tried him at CF last season in 2 or 3 matches in the autumn and he couldn't stop dropping deep and messing up in the build up.
What you describe is how Podolski and Theo play on the wings. Hardly any touches on the ball and playing in the final third focusing on runs. It's not a good idea at all.
