Happy with Özil starting as a number 10, but to me the guy hasn't looked match fit in recent weeks at all. Think he could use a breather. Instead go with Alexis as a false nine which he has pretty much been his role in the last couple of months.Cech

Alternatively we could go with Monreal as LCB with Gabriel moving RCB and Koscielny playing in the middle as a modern sweeper, similar to Bonucci at Juventus and Luiz at Chelsea.

This is the kind of line-up I would expect against City, not West Brom. I also don't believe Ozil is tired, just poor. Sanchez is the player who could do with a rest.
I definitely agree with Gabriel playing as a RCB as I don't trust Bellerin and Holding. Would also drop Walcott maybe and play with Perez/Giroud as a striker with Alexis and Iwobi/Ozil playing behind him (3-4-2-1). Having Alexis as the only one capable of running with the ball or even create chances will limit us going forward.

If this is how our season unravels ....... what a fkin waste, just one more month of hope to our usual Nov dismantling.
Can't wait for Wenger to leave.
