What I'd like instead (and I have been saying this for many years now) is for us to revert back to the 4-4-2 formation for some our homes games and against lower table sides. That'll give the likes of both Sanchez/Giroud, Giroud/Perez or Sanchez/Perez a chance to show what they are made of.

We have only one way of playing and if that is nullified we look like a deer caught in headlights. We absolutely need to change things up, go back to basics and utilize all our players effectively. Unfortunately, our manager is a raging moron who will do none of that.
Wenger wants every outfield player to be able to play in every position, and that's how he sets us up. Our striker drifting deep, our wide men (infuriatingly) drifting to the centre, our "holding" midfielders racing up the pitch to get on the end of crosses coming in from the central striker. Tell me I'm wrong.

So if you are so arrogant that you believe your players are masters of all trades and comfortable with "total football" then you'd best have masters on the pitch and not minors who talk a good game but then can't deliver.

So a new striker and Alexis on the same pitch is really no problem at all. You just hope the new guy can hold it up better, pass it more accurately, shoot more effectively than the guys we already have.
