Remember the days when he used to play Denilson, Diaby, Flamini and Eboue on the wings? He's even played Cesc there. When you look at that, you know there is a problem with Wenger's thinking. A change in formation won't help if he thinks he can pull off such moves.
Exactly, Wenger thinks his players are completely adaptable, and are able to recreate a Netherlands style "total football" with players interchanging positions at will. The reality is that our players are not good enough to switch positions at ease and perform at the same level. This is not necessarily a slight on the players, because finding players who are equally good in different positions is very rare anyway.
