I know it was a weak opponent, but some of those finishes were top class. Could use that in bigger games / games that count. Of course easier said than done.

Keown saying jack for Xhaka.

He's not considering balance though is he.

Surely if Jack who is an attacking midfielder is going to play central you need an out and out CDM beside him.

Ramsey and Wilshere was tried before and it was abandoned after about 3 games for good reason, neither are good defensively, Ramsey was in his all star season but has since gone back to Hollywood.

So again, if Wilshere plays what happens to Ramsey?

Our midfield would be like swiss cheese with those two at CM.

I think Keown said if this was the Wenger of the invincible era where he wasn't anybodys bitch, he would've gone with Jack and Ramsey. Now hes too scared.

Well ......... he actually did try the double pivot about 2 years ago and it was a failure?

[Sims]

looooooool the state of when we last tried that

4-1-4-1 with coquelin DM, Özil LM, not even LW and alexis up front by himself. was the worst ive ever seen us play

could work with a 433 if we give ozil the freedom he has now at RW though. him, xhaka and ramsey might be feasible as long as wilsh keeps his discipline ala when he played next to song all them years ago
