If Nasri and Cesc Leave

[server too busy!]

What will our first 11 look like? Surely we can't rely and on Ramsey and Wilshire all season. Rosicky is a bit useless these days, but Arshavin may be able to drop from the wing but I'm not sure he has it in him anymore either.

At the end of the week i'll update to reflect the most likely make up of the squad. Atm, you can consider Vela and Eboue as virtually gone.

I can see us playing 4-4-2 more often without Cesc around, meaning Arshavin can get to be a no.10 and we can use all these wingers we've brought in instead of shunting AMs out wide.

We're not playing 4-4-2. No one really does anymore ffs.

[Darth Vela]

Yeah but no-one whacks 11 men behind the ball and refuses to attack against most other teams either so I can still see it happening in more than a few games.

[Marc Overmars]

If they both leave and we don't attempt to replace them, I'd say it would be relatively optimistic to then expect to finish 4th.

Anyone know why? Is it just a fashion thing or is there some substance behind ignoring a perfectly viable formation? Anyway, we should play 0-5-5, no point picking the defenders as they don't make any difference in the game anyway.

4-4-2 all the way, we've messed about with shte formations for years to no avail, let's go back to something that works.
