That's Wenger's cheap and ridiculous impersonation of Cryuff, or Pep at Barca. Just let them do their own thing and see what happens. The freedom but without the painstaking training that retains the integrity of the team and keeps it operating as a single unit with interchangeable parts. I'd much rather see Monreal nowhere near the opposition goal and solid in defence for a while, along with his colleagues at the back. Instead we have Mustafi and Koscielny doing the Xhaka. It's an utter shambles. The opposition must laugh when they see what's going on.Spot on.
