shite, I ain't taking Holding right now. Gabriel was excellent too. I'm not changing that back three until they don't play well together.

Welbeck changed the game with his running. Getting down the channels really stretched City. He won the free kick for the goal, created a lot of chances.

Welbz is such an interesting player. When he plays on instinct he's brilliant, but give him time or a fairly clean chance and he'll find a way to fluff it as often as not.

Still, I love the guy, and we are so static when Giroud is on. Giroud has thrived as a super sub and spot starter. Put him back in that role.

Weird that Walcott isn't in the mix, either, as he's been very good this year. Don't really have a fit for him with the 3-4-2-1, unless he's with Alexis and Ozil up top, and I think Wenger would prefer Welbeck or Giroud.

Gabs was amazing yesterday.

I told y'all he'd end up being a Monreal, play him in his non natural position for a bit and he'll come back even better in his original spot.
Yeah the defense was vulnerable at times, but they're playing really well together. To me, Mustafi has to show he's worthy to get back in the side (at the moment). If I'm Wenger I'm not letting him walk right in over Gabriel or Rob.

Start playing Welbeck up front with Alexis. Giroud can be a super sub, and Theo can play there too.

We have a good selection headache on where to put some of these guys, but we most definitely need to bring in new talent. Wenger (or whoever) should be looking at the new recruits to play in the 3-4-3 or 3-5-2; not a back 4.

I think this lineup is the way to go tomorrow & the rest of the season

Obviously Perez won't be playing, due to "injury" but I think he'd do well there.
I also think moving Ox back centrally, where he excelled earlier this year, is the right move. I know he's done great as a RWB but I don't think we can keep Hector out of the team any longer.
Bring on Giroud, Ramsey/Elneny & maybe Theo as subs.
