Welbz is playing like a man that won't be tossed aside. He's fighting for a starting spot.
Also, how incredible would it have been if Lacazette scored that goal??

I wanted him to score that so bad damn. But how about the Bosnian Tank Kolasinac.. What a player he is

Do they make anymore moves before the end of the transfer window? I love Ramsey but another box to box midfielder would be a great addition. Elneny doesn't have the quality to play there against the top teams.

Elneny played very well yesterday. His only problem seems to be that he doesn't have a final ball, but he does a great job of providing outlets for players under pressure. And his work-rate is just as good as Ramsey's. I honestly think we are covered there if Wilshere is indeed healthy. I imagine Maitland-Niles will get a chance if injuries decimate us.

Exactly. Ramsey already has a muscle issue. I believe he has enough quality to be the guy next to Xhaka. Ramsey's problem is his injury record. People want Lemar, as do I, but we really need another CM with quality.

I would love us to get Seri from Nice I think he is class.... Rafinha wouldn't be a bad addition either or maybe even Matuidi from PSG?

What do you guys think the plan is with the LWB and LCB? I was thinking about our best 11 today, and I wasn't quite sure what the preferences are there. Is Kolasinac better at wingback or center back? I know that when he came on in the Community Shield, OX stayed at LWB and Nacho moved to CB, but I don't know how much you can take from that with injuries. It's probably a good problem to have, but I wonder what Wenger's preference is. Would he rather a true CB on the left side such as Mustafi with either Sead or Nacho at wingback? Or would he rather start Sead and Nacho together and have the more offensive minded player on the wing?

The decision really has a major impact on the playing time of quite a few players. Those involved would probably be Sead, Nacho, Ox, Mustafi, Holding, and Gabriel.

I want him at CB with Kosc and Mustafi and let Ox take the LWB spot... But if Wenger insists on Monreal starting then I would prefer Sead at LWB rather than him.

Interesting. I feel like Monreal has become one of our best players. He is so extremely versatile. The decision on whether he plays will likely be moot since our injuries will likely occur and force him into action somewhere, but I don't see how he can be left out of the side.

Now, I do agree that there are certain games where we can start Ox and let him go at it on the left. This may be against lower competition when some of our other playmakers are getting a rest. Although, with the Europa league being used to blood young players, we may not have many EPL situations in which we are resting playmakers.

Easy. Nacho starts at LCB and Kolasinac starts at LWB. Nacho fits that role perfectly and Kolasinac is much better at wingback. Add Kos and Mustafi as our other CBs.

I just feel Sead is way faster and will shutdown wingers easier and is more versatile in attack

Once again Arsene and his aggravating mode of treating the first 3-4 PL games like friendlies.

It seems like we always have half our team out for the opening games, then we wonder why we are just a point or two away from where we need to be.
