no, we're had too many central midfielders that have been stuck out on the wing only to neuter their game and lose a lot of what makes them tick. we just have to look at the difference in performance from rosicky last season for that.

If we have all our midfielders fit (), it wouldn't be a bad option, especially against 10-man defences where some guile would come in useful. Cazorla has played for Malaga/Villareal there and for Spain too, so it's not alien to him and would certainly not be a case of Wenger playing a player in a 'wrong' position. He's playing more in a wrong position now. In the big games, having players like Wilshere, Diaby, Cazorla and Rosicky in the same team allows us to dominate the midfield too (like Ramsey allowed us to against Man City).
Arteta/Wilshere/Cazorla is obviously the most gifted and trusted midfield. But Diaby, Rosicky (when fit), Oxlade-Chamberlain, Coquelin and even Ramsey on a good day are players who should theoretically give us options. Wenger's inflexibility is one of the things he's criticised most for, so if he did decide to rotate some players on the basis of what challenge the opposition is posing, it wouldn't be a bad thing.

When you spell names correctly, you're attempting to make a sensible point in a worthy discussion.
All other times, Wolfjeer, Carbzorler and Gnrarby will suffice.
Cool.
how about instead of putting a central midfielder on the wing we actually go out and fucking buy one
bloody basics but that ponce in charge cant see it.
The reason the 4-5-1/4-3-3 has failed us so badly is cos we put players in unnatural positions.
As WW says, if we actually bought players who suit the system then it will be a success.
The whole reason we moved to the formation in the first place was to bring out the best in Cesc to the detriment of the team. He has long since died yet we kept it and it brought out the best in RVC but again it wasnt the best for the team.
Both have died now
Time to go back to 4-4-2, the formation we had our greatest success with
that would be too simple.
being a poor man's barca iz not that zimple, you know -- itz not ze zolution.
@ ach
you're right
this formation will be the death of that c*nt
when was the last time we altered our tactics based on opposition? he plays 4-3-3 no matter who we play, kettering town or barcelona. you dont win football matches like that.
in boxing we say 'styles make fights'. its applicable to football and many other sports. if you play 4-3-3 every week you'll eventually meet your match. in our case it seems to be every other week.
Yup
His greatest weakness that. Not having the tactical know how to change things up when needed. Its something that has lasted his whole time here. First half of his time here, we got away with it cos we had quality players and they could get us out of tricky games with a draw or a tight win cos we were that damn good tbh
Players now are a bit shit so the manager comes in to play a bit more and hes been found wanting.
