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


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.

Sagna got plenty far up the field. Evra did too but wasn't as effective.

France fricked up because they couldn't fit Payet, AG7, Pogba, Kante and Matuidi on the field. Kante and Matuidi would have freed Pogba, but Greizmann didn't seem comfortable out wide.

Regardless, we need Giroud to continue his stellar play from the Euros. When he doesn't fall to the floor really easily and actually plays, I really don't think there is a better striker with their back toward goal.
