We need serious midfield help. Mkhi and Özil aren't battlers, Jack isn't good enough to make things happen on his own, and Xhaka is a disaster.
Lol, Iwobi. Iwobi has done nothing since becoming a first team player. At the age Iwobi is Wilshere was getting MOTM performances in the CL, Premier league, England etc.. what about Iwobi? Can’t even compare him to The Ox, Walcott, Welbeck.. that says it all..If Iwobi had the same game that Wilshere had people would have put him on blast and blame him for us losing the match...... and Iwobi is younger than Wilshere.
Why did Wilshere play the ten today with Zil shifted out wide? Apart from his off side beating pass to Aubameyang, zero creativity in midfield.
I think Jack had a good match, but Wenger got his tactics and lineup completely wrong. And Ramsey's absence hurt us a lot.
I know Özil can play on the wing, but if the choice is between playing Jack or Özil centrally I'd have to pick Özil every time.
Also, Mkhi played well at RW against Everton and today he was playing LW.
Offensively, it looks like Wenger moved Özil and Mkhi to positions where they are not as effective in order to play Jack at CM. Despite Jack playing well, I think this was a big mistake. It made it really hard for Özil and Mkhi to link up, and not surprisingly our attack was almost non-existent.
Jack should have played LW, Özil AM, and Mkhi RW in my opinion.
Jack played well, but it kind of doesn't matter when Wenger has horrible tactics.
Oz il, Mikhi were playing as inside forwards, not wingers.
Left side has always been Mikhi favoured side.
Xhaka and elneny are just not dynamic enough in attack or defence, they just got bossed.
Jack was our best player when he got the ball, always beating a man.
They just controlled the game as we sat too deep.
Jack plays nothing like Ramsey though. You can't compare the two like that. Ramsey is constantly makes runs forward. Jack probes and prods around the box when he's prominent. He doesn't even get many opportunities to score, and that's something he could go about changing. But look at the mess behind him...Jack lacks end product. Simple as that. That's why Ramsey is seen as the better player. Either we play both together or Ramsey starts ahead of him. He had a good game today but he's got to be a bit more productive.
Maybe we should switch him to a holder.
Anyways, it looks like Wenger preferred formation is 4-3-3 with a midfield 3 of Xhaka - Jack - Ramsey.
I see jack as a true CM. closest thing we'll find to cazorla.
Can play in a 3 or a 2, we just need someone better than xhaka. Somebody like Kante or even Dembele.
Stable.
Except he isn’t a 6, doesn’t create enough for a 10 and lacks the engine of an 8, and he seems to be getting worse with age.
