Can only see Ozil playing on the left again given that line up. Total waste. What he's basically done is slotted Welbeck into the same shit formation and then added a sprinkle of negativity. Alexis will have to do it all on his own today if we are to get a result.
Arteta is so slow at distributing the ball once we win possession back in our own half, it breaks down any possibility of a counter attack. But so does having Ramsey and Wilshere in midfield...Ramsey can't play behind the striker neither can Wilshere, so MC Hammer will be feeding on scraps.
