Arsenal need to get back to playing the Arsenal way. This formation doesn't suit us with the players we have and is creating conflict between fans who think they know best. The reason we switched formations is because for years Arsenal have not had a decent CDM. So we had to switch to 3 at the back due to a weak midfield.

If Arsenal do get a quality CDM then they can get back to free flowing football knowing they have cover in midfield. Imagine Bellerin as RB with the Ox on the wing. This would finally stop fans moaning about whos the better RWB (there both average) Personally I would drop Ozil and play Ramsey behind the striker. He always gives 100% and can score goals. Then Sanchez and Kolisniac on the left. A quality CDM with Xhaka would work well.

Let's stop arguing over who plays where and instead pick a formation that suits the players we have. But a CDM is essential regardless of what formation we play.

I think most people would agree we either need a quality DM or cmf player to play alongside Le Coq as Caz did.
I also agree Ramsey or Ozil not both, Aaron is attacking minded regardless of Wether he can or can't defend, his mind is 100% on scoring goals either himself or helping others to do so.
Totally forget Ramsey Xhaka combination it just doesn't work and niether does Le Coq with either Ramsey or Xhaka.
A new cmf player is our most pressing requirement in almost everyone's view but there is only one view that matters and I'm not sure he feels the same way as 99% of fans or pundits on the subject.

Mate, we don't pick the team, arsene does. You know he's stubborn so there's no point suggesting ideas.

I agree on all counts Ibraim, it does no good to say we need this that or the other because it's irrelevant if it's not what Arsene thinks.
The pundits ex Arsenal players and existing players can say and think what they like, Arsene will stick to what he thinks and the more people tell him the more resistant he seems to become.

The problem is that Wenger is clueless defensively. Against Stoke he played Bellerin a winger converted into a RWB that can't tackle at LWB. He played Ox an attacking player at RWB. He played two LB's at CB and no true DM player. We played too high a defensive line, there was no discipline. We lacked height at set pieces.
Against Liverpool we could bring back Debuchy at RB, play Kolasinac at LB and a back three of Mustafi, Mertesacker and Koscielny. In front of the back three play Coquelin and Xhaka.
I would try and sign N'zonzi and Van Dijk.
Then we may have some defensive stability.
The back line against Stoke and Leicester were a complete mess. Hence 4 goals conceded in two matches.

Personally I'd try a Le Coq Ox partnership v Liverpool with 3 recognised CBs and Belerin right and kol left then Ramsay or mesut behind a 2 man strike force of Giroud or Danny and Lacasette.
Liverpools defence can be got at nearly as much as ours but they are simply much more effective going forward than us.
