Why can't we play 3 at the back - surely 3 CDs mean we always have cover!
Then 5 in midfield - Kola and Bellerin on the flanks. 2 CDMs and Ozil in front in the hole.
2 upfront - the deadly Laca and PEA
Let's not remove creativity but set ourselves up to not get exposed and use the talent we have at our club
Don't drop the creative talent as it's boring while we still concede.
Is dropping a player like Rambo or Ozil really the answer?
Is playing a back 4 plus 3 central midfielders really the answer
Is leaving 1 at the back to get exposed sensible or beaten by a simple ball over the top. Why not address the number of players that hold a position at the back without removing creativity. How do we still get exposed at the back so easily
How should we be playing? Not sure Emery knows best especially as he's played so many different set ups.

We needed a George but appointed another Arsene
We've put the cart before the horse, under George we lacked almost any creativity but were rock solid at the back and Wrighty used to get one chance a game and it was invariably 1 0 to the Arsenal.
Arsene came in and brought excellent creative players to compliment the solid foundation that was already there and the rest is fantastic history.
Dick looks every bit as lost as Arsene at organising a defence that isn't already self organising, when the last of the George generation left (Keowen and Parlour) is when the non competitiveness problems started.
Have we made a mistake in appointing Emery? If he can't organise any better than Arsene then the answer has to be yes we have made a mistake and if he really can organise better than Arsene what's he waiting for? Why haven't we seen it by now?

Safe to say outside of the relief that we have a change in management - nothing else to get excited about but rather more to get concerned about it.
Hope is what we are pinning our future with Emery on as nothing to suggest anything other than hope to explain any optimism. While we have hope, what more could you ask for. Here’s to blind hope and where it can get us.
Question - If you had your life riding on our success - would you be happy with Emery being in charge?
Answers on a postcard.

SY mate we always knew in the search for our next manager who could make us competitive again we might not get it right first time round, but it will happen mate, highs and lows all clubs have them.
Who'd have thought the Liverpool who dominated the 80s would go 20 odd years in the premier league years and still not have a title? But it will happen, even if not this season it will come for them at some point and Who'd have thought our invincibles of 2004 would be Arsenal's last champions for 15 years and counting, but it will happen again mate.
