    Arteta, Wilshire, Rosicky

    Caz can play in his natural position on the left and then drift in. Pod is useless at that role anyway.

    except for his 13 goals and almost as many assists.

    podolski is a must starter every game.

    Agreed.

    Time to go 4-4-2 with Giroud and Podolski through the middle.

    Ramraid our way to 5th place!

    it is a prime example of wenger's madness that podol gets no look in upfront, despite giroud and feo doing fuck all for over a month.

    sure he plays wide for germany but he has even more experience and ability through the middle. fucking nuts.

    lukas is a mean german bastard that will just tank his way through and bomb the goal whenever he gets the chance.

    even merts was pushed up through the middle late on against spurs ffs!

    Yup.

    I think we need to reshape. Get our fullbacks to sit in and play a line with the CB's to plug some gaps.

    Jack/Rosicky and/or Arteta/Rosicky in the middle, Cazorla and Walcott on the flanks.

    Good numbers but he’s not the sort of winger that’s going to cause a rightback to rethink his game. I think he’d get a load more goals and assists playing up front. He can be anonymous in many games despite popping up with the odd goal or assist and I think we need wingers that will really act as a thorn in our opponents side and is a constant threat and nuisance.

    Giroud shouldn’t be starting for us in my opinion. His touch and shooting is way below par.

    Yep, agree with that.

    Walcott won't pick Pods because he prefers to play both wide and in the middle himself. It's a useful role, plenty of places to hide and wait until the next contract negotiation.

    Waloctt needs to learn to play between the lines more and not just depend on hanging off the shoulder of defenders. But after watching more highlights again from Neville and MOTD, there were plenty of runs made by him that the midfield were too slow to react to. But other than that, I don't know why Wenger has given him that free role to play more up front with Giroud as some sort of compromise. Like Pod, he's neither here or there and it's not working.

    I said the other day Wenget has lost a grip on the situation, he doesn't know what to do with Walcott now. I don't think he has much of a clue really at what his best midfield and attack is and how to utilise everyone to the best of their abilities. You'd think after consistent under performance he would have made a few changes. He's deluded if he thinks this is working.
