Because to me, with the perpetual movement, vision, intelligent play and sheer graft that Sanchez and lacca both offer complimented by Ollie's ability to hold the ball and bring others into play as well as his own scoring prowess and skill set and all 3 being fed by ozil, it's a no brainer. Whilst most see how the triumvirate of AOL works well together, have we forgotten that ozil, Sanchez and Giroud also have a good and PROVEN natural connection together. Add to that that the Frenchmen play together nationally and I can find no obvious reason why we are ignoring this combination for the sake of having an extra defender in the team and playing a formation that doesn't compliment our style of play compared to the 4;2;3;1 we would play with this set up. We still concede stupid goals with three at the back so why sacrifice Giroud for an extra ineffective defender? Lets defend from the front and at least have a chance of scoring more than the opposition. Everyone is giving plaudits to man City for their set up so again I ask why the hell can't we do similar and after all we were the original Barcelona lite weren't we?
worthwhile experiment, imo
