Would like to try this out:

Cech
Bellerin - Mustafi - Monreal - Kolasinac
Niles - Xhaka - Wilshere
Özil
Laca - Alexis


Niles is good on the ball, play him in the central midfield, drop the awful Iwobi. Play our best LB Kolasinac.
Give Koscielny a break, he has been poor lately.

Agree with this except I would play Elneny ahead of Xhaka. Probably won't make a difference to the end result of this game but going forward Xhaka really shouldn't be one of the first names on the teamsheet.

Re: Koscielny, I would probably rest him for the next game too so he's 100% for Chelsea

I have been giving up on Xhaka too lately. Still his performance in the second half (not because of the goal) was good and made me think, that he could be dropped another time. Maybe he will build on it (I doubt it).

I hope it's just a phase for Koscielny. He has been very poor this season.
I would want play Mustafi and Chambers as CBs at some time this season. Both are very comfortable on the ball, maybe pace isn't their strong suit, but it's the same with Monreal and at least both are younger and can still be good.
Our whole defence needs some rearranging (and tactical training)

I want to see this lineup at some time this season:

Anyone
Niles - Chambers - Mustafi - Kolasinac
Ramsey - Xhaka* - Wilshere
Özil
Alexis - Lacazette


* if he got his shit together. Potential is there but lack of concentration seems to be a big problem.
If nothing changed, then ElNeny.

Lol at those putting Monreal and Mustafi at the centre of a back four. Are you crazy? Mustafi is prone to mistakes and Monreal can't cut it an a back 2. Chambers really impressed me and it's time to actually give him a start next to Kos or Mustafi.

Xhaka is another issue. He can't be played as the holding midfielder and be given the sole responsibility of defending from the mid. I'd put coquelin or Maitland Niles next to him who will defend and allow Xhaka to move up a little more to spread play.

Drop Iwobi and play Wilshere on the RW. Play Debuchy at RB, Bellerin has dropped the ball lately and needs to be dropped. He cant be allowed to keep playing as his head will drop sooner than later. He needs a rest and a bit of time ro think about his role. All in all the team for me.

--------------------Cech---------------------
Deb-----Chambers--------Kos-----------Monreal/Kola
--------------Coq/AMN-------Xhaka---------------------
Wilsh------------Ozil-----------------------Sanchez
-----------------Laca/Welbz---------------------------

Chambers deserves his chance at CB as does AMN in midfield.

Someone up there took mercy on us and sabotaged Mustafi loan deal or else we would be rocking Per and Holding out there.

Our defense is shit. Could have been shittier.

We have allowed more goals this season than 7 other teams out there.

Embarrassing..

If Wenger goes with the same formation as at Pool, start Walcott over Iwobi.

Midfield should be Ramsey, Wilsh and Elneny.

Debuchy should start if Kolasinac isn't fit.

Don't get why we've gone to a back 3; I do agree Chambers deserves a chance though. When are we going to get to see AMN in place of Xhaka!
