I think we have a need at CF, non-Alexis wing, and CB. I don't think Giroud, Walcott/Ox/Jack/Ramsey, and Per/Gab is good enough to win the title.

I wonder if we'll experiment with some sort of two forward system now that Xhaka can seemingly play the Cazorla-Coq role by himself.

Something like


------------Cech-------------
Bellerin-Kosc-Per/Gab-Monreal
-----------Xhaka-------------
----Ramsey-------Santi/Jack--
-----------Ozil--------------
-----Giroud-----Alexis-------

In attack, and

------------Cech-------------
Bellerin-Kosc-Per/Gab-Monreal
Ramsey----Xhaka--Santi---Alexis
---------Ozil-----------------
-------------Giroud-----------

In defense. Basically Ramsey on the right from last year, but a little more dynamic because we're letting Xkaha do the work of Coqzorla

That's potentially a really good 11 that seems to fit really well together, but we still have massive depth issues and Giroud is still Giroud, good but not great.

We basically need another 15 goals from somewhere. Targeting 80 goals a season is a decent enough metric to determine championship quality, this past season not withstanding.

I'm hoping xhaka can play the role by himself. As much as I love ozil, hes not a goal scorer. I feel like Ramsey would be better playing off giroud, ozil needs people to feed. In the double pivot with giroud up top we need runners around him.

If you watched him in the euros, had excellent tourney imo, he's always occupying both CBS, giving freedom for the other guys. France fricked up by not pushing their full backs up the pitch. Doing so either creates a more equal number in attack or it gets giroud room in the box for crosses if the CB have to pick up payet or greizmann.
