I'd make 3 changes, keep the rest of the team the same.
Leno
Bellerin - Mustafi - Sokratis - Lichtsteiner
Guendouzi - Torreira
Ozil
Mkhitaryan - Lacazette - Aubameyang


1) If Ramsey's going to keep playing like he's a striker might as well drop him for Lacazette as he's better at it.
2) Cech defended well but if we're going to play from the back his feet just aren't good enough.
3) I hope i don't need to explain why I'd drop Xhaka.

Agree. This should be our starting lineup next week. There's an argument for Ramsey over one of Ozil/Micky but i think this is the one

Cech
Lichsteiner - Mustafi - Papa - Monreal
Torreira - Guendouzi - Ramsey
Özil
Lacazette - Aubameyang

Özil should be played as a Nr. 10.
Cech was surprisingly good and deserves to start next game. Hopefully Monreal will be fit for this game.
Lichsteiner ahead of Bellerin makes sense imo.
Only problem with this line up is the lack of width in it, but our squad is unbalanced and I don't see much better options.
Ramsey, Torreira and Guendouzi have strong engines and could cover the distances needed .

Ramsey and Ozil get in each others way when they both play centrally.

Would put Ramsey in place of Ozil, his pressing today was one of our best traits in the first half and he kept leading the charge, in that respect he is a good and useful player, on the ball less so (you know what I think already).

I just feel he is a bit better defensively out wide, not by a big margin. In an ideal world we would have Dembele

As i said in the other thread Özil will not struggle out wide against lesser teams. Teams like City put intense pressure on the flanks. Same applies to Mkhi. Unai Emery prefers a 4-3-3 going by majority of preseason.

Yeah but he also has a history of 4231 and we have 2 players who thrive in a 4231 and struggle in a 433. If he chooses 433 then fair play but then we need to sell one of our 10s and buy a winger.

Until then 4231 fits our attackers best

What if after the Chelsea game we start making 4-3-3 work even without out and out wide players? Let us see how it goes after Chelsea game. We all including myself are jumping the gun before seeing how it works in normal games.
