Xhaka and ?

[RUS arsenal]

This season Xhaka - coq for away games Xhaka-Ramsey in home games

Oohhh, I like this suggestion as well.

 

[STYLEZ]

I'd continue with Coquelin.. He's having a great season and I'd like to see how that partnership looks over a decent sample size..

To be fair his a good season for the last 3 seasons his proved his consistency quite conclusively. He should be one of the first names on the team sheet.

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

Xhaka/Coq for me. We rotate this combo to maintain fitness or for tactics. The other combos have too many failings.

 

[Trilly]

Ideally...Naby Keita, his old mate Dahoud, a fit Wilshere or a 13/14 Ramsey.

Basically no player that we currently have.

 

[say yes]

Coquelin really impressed me today tbh.

By far the worst technically of our midfield options but he's aware of that - keeps it simple and much quicker in possession than Elneny/Ramsey. Really helps the intensity of our game.

 

[Coolin]

Coquelin's name goes on the teamsheet before Xhaka's.

 

[say yes]

Coquelin's name goes on the teamsheet before Xhaka's.

Goalkeepers aside, the teamsheet follows shirt numbers so he definitely doesn't.

Not if we want to win a game of football.

I think we've won more with Coq on the pitch than we have with Xhaka tbf

 

[Coolin]

So Wenger picks Özil last does he?

 

[say yes]

So Wenger picks Özil last does he?

I was joking but no, Özil is one of the first names on the teamsheet due to his low shirt number

 

[Polar Bear]

Coquelin for me..

 

[krackpot]

On form, and on experience, Coquelin has become so important that we should think to shift Özil wide.

Xhaka-Coq-Ramsey is the best of all worlds.

 

[silent_shadow]

Nothing is ideal, but I'd lean towards Xhaka-Coquelin for most games. It requires Xhaka to be more incisive, cause Coq is no help going forward, which he's not doing badly with.
Xhaka-Elneny has worked at times, but I'd go with it when we focus on dominating possession. I think Xhaka-Coq is faster paced and more incisive.

Don't want to see Xhaka-Ramsey although I know a lot do. It'll be Xhaka on his own facing counters. Might be a good option when we're playing a team that's sitting back with 10 behind the ball. I'd still worry about counters... would only try it with Bellerin back.

 

[celestis]

Thinking about it Xhaka/ Coq with , Özil , Sanchez and Iwobi dropping back to help and or Ramsey on the right .

 

[Iddi]

Why don't we try 4 - 3 - 3.. We are so weak with only 2 players in central midfield. West Ham had us on the ropes for 15 minutes in the second half just like most half decent teams have done against us, Sanchez individual brilliance saved us yesterday..

I still see glaring weakness in our Central midfield with only 2 players in there..

 

[Mitch]

It has to be Swiss Pirlo & French Gattuso.

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

We will always be a attacking team under Wenger. 4-3-3, 4-4-2, 4-2-3-1. What ever. We will always sacrifice something in the defence to be a attack team.

We are doing well at the moment. You don't have the away record like ours unless tactics are solid.

 

[skip spence]

I'd generally go with Xhaka-Coq in tough games where we have to defend and Xhaka-Ramsey in home games when we are clear favourites. Ideally it's Xhaka-Ramsey always, if the latter can get his **** together. (yeah, I know )

 

[Tir Na Nog]

I'd prefer Elneny in all honesty but understand why Coquelin might be preferred.
