squad rotation this year is IMPERATIVE to a successful season and for once its looking like we got some real depth

 

when you think about the amount of options we have and competition for places its a joke

 

this is a starting 11 i've seen ppl running with

 

 

scez

 

debuchy merts kos gibbs

 

khedira ramsey

 

walcott ozil sanchez

 

giroud

 

 

probably our paciest side with sanchez n wally on the wings but putting sanchez out wide IMO is to waste the other midfielders we have in order to compensate giroud, who will see a lot more opportunities for headers and that if we line up as so

 

bench: cazorla, wilshere, chamberlain, rosicky, flamini, jenkinson, arteta (lol dpmo)

 

as much as wenger loves playing people out of position im not sure how long giroud can last at arsenal when alexis eventually gets a game upfront and showers things down so 2 months into the season (inshallah) we might be starting like

 

 

sanchez

 

cazorla ozil walcott

 

ramsey khedira

 

 

having said all this ozils favoured position is the right (iirc) and a front 3 of ozil cazorla sanchez would be super interchangeable, but someone would have to get the shaft and atm i dont think you can justify keeping ramsey out of the team or not utilizing walcotts pace

 

basically this is one of those good problems, so assuming we do land khedira and campbell how do you man think we will line up, best 11? and who is gonna be seeing fewer games, atm im thinking wilshere unfortunately but in a perfect world we would shot giroud and keep arteta around only for squad depth

 

 

still im tempted to see how giroud does with ozil ramsey n walcott sanchez feeding him

ssn reported we were "edging closer" at the start of the evening but assuming we don't get khedira flamini first choice dm for me with arteta back up but really it should be new signing @ dm with flamini back up and arteta just chilling.

We will probably be 15 games deep until we see a useful Walcott in the team so I wouldnt factor him in for now

 

Expecting Wenger to experiment with formations for the first few months as he has so many options and imo it would be hard to predict the optimum until hes played around a bit

 

Fully expect this formation to start with tho

 

Szcz 

 

Debuchy - Kos - Mert - Gibbs

 

Arteta - Ramsey

 

Rosicky - Ozil - Cazorla 

 

Giroud

 

Sub - Varmaelen, Alexis, Monreal, Martinez, Flamini, Wilshere, Campbell
