Also moving to 3 at the back had some advantages. Gab and Kos picked some good between he lines passes, and it allowed Ramsey and Ozil to receive some balls in dangerous positions. But it also revealed our spacing problems and the fact we need a player who is defensively minded but also an utterly superb passer. Alex Song in his last year was that sort of player and would have slotted in nicely and we've struggled to fill his gap for a while. Cazorla plays D by having superb control and positioning but having a player with the defensive prowess and the ability to move the ball upfield quickly is a thing we need badly.
