Yesterday probably should've looked like this


------Giroud-----
Jack--Ozil---Gnabry
--Arteta*--Ramsey--

*OR flamini, we don't need both against non-CL quality teams.

Totally agree. Ramsey and Wilshere shouldn't be playing wide.

one point not bad yesterday. Credit should be given to the West Brom defense too. They broke our passing game often.

Gibbs gets a fully deserved call-up to the England squad. Just hope he doesn't get hurt.

I agree. The personnel situation was definitely weird this weekend, but the long-term solution should be one of those two paired w/ Jack.

The truly long term solution is Jack and Ramsey behind Ozil. But the long term solution in regards to this season is one of them paired with Ramsey with Wilshere being our first choice sub, change of pace, rotational starter

The double pivot with Jack and Rambo will work if they work out who goes forward and when. They seemed to have it figured out by the first Fenerbache game. Also they are both really good athletes and they can cover more ground together than most other CM pairings. Jack just needs to develop a defensive game that doesn't involve getting needless yellow cards.

Both Jack and Ramsey are typical box to box midfielders. I can totally imagine Ramsey and Jack combo in the near future. But for now, we need some one like Flamini or Arteta who we can trust on protecting the back line.

The future of the game means a purely defensive minded midfielder is obsolete for teams that dominate possession. Arteta is superb on the ball, and Flamini is pretty good, which is why they are even playing. But having Jack and Rambo working together as a double pivot has to be Wenger's dream.

Yall should handle up on BVB considering that Reus, Sahin, Gundogan, Kehl, Bender and Hofmann are all hurt right now.

Reus might make it back. All the others are basically long term injuries/still recovering so idk. Ilkay has only played once for them this year in the league. Can't imagine he'll be back.

Speaking of kits I'd like to see them try out a classic look like Liverpool did with their home kit



Just please no crazy road or alternate kits.

apparently our scouts have been focusing on Spain and Italy. take whatever you want from that.

we've also been keeping close tabs on Winston Reid.
