Name our strongest starting XI for the season

[mavelous]

I don't understand why people keep going on about another cam, assuming that both Alexis and Özil stay.

We have
Özil ---- Alexis
Lacazette

Iwobi------Welbeck
Giroud


And then there's the option to play laca as one of the cams with giroud up top. Further, you could play nelson, ox, wilshere or Ramsey.

Suitable cm next to xhaka is number one priority

Arsenal needs a better defensive coach.

All the free crossing, heading and shooting allowed for opponents are atrocious. Look at Leicester's second and third goal.

Pointless employing anybody Wenger will just overall and do it his way like his done with Bould.

Wenger can even tell the board he doesn't want a director of Fooball.

Among squad costs and injuries this is our biggest problem, even the one season we had a solid defence that one season, we were getting beat 6-0 and 5-1 by Chelsea and Liverpool.

 

[NotAUserName]

Cech - Bellerin, Mustafi, Kos, Kolasinac - Ox, Xhaka, Ramsey - Özil, Lacazette, Alexis.

I'd love to have Santi or Wilshere but I have a hard time seeing them fit enough to have a consistent run of games.

 

[hyruga2]

Cech - Bellerin, Mustafi, Kos, Kolasinac - Ox, Elneny, Ramsey - Özil, Lacazette, Alexis.

Dont rate xhaka. Mistake prone. Also don't rate Özil but willing to give him a chance.

Reserves: Ospina, Monreal, xhaka, Niles, Iwobi, welbeck, giroud

 

[Dynamic]

Cech - Ox, Holding/Chambers, Kos, Mustafi, Kola - Xhaka, Ramsey(hopefully new cm) - Alexis,Özil,Laca.
I think Holding has a place in our strongest 11. He will develop rapidly alongside Kos and current form Ox.
Getting a top CM must be the number one priority.

Holding is wack mate

I guess he look more solid with Kosh and Mustafi. We have good option in Defense Mertesacker or Monreal can start ahead of him if he struggled

 

[TromsoGooner]

I like Holding, still think he will become very good centre half but there is no way he should starte ahead of neither Monreal nor Per.

 

[coolaa]

I like Holding, still think he will become very good centre half but there is no way he should starte ahead of neither Monreal nor Per.

I think it depends where of the Back 3 you are putting them. I cannot see Monreal being any good in the center of the back 3, or Per on either side of the back 3. I would say my preferred back 3 would be

Kos - Per - Kolasinac

 

[Brown Gooner]

Best line up possible at the moment along with three substitutions
GK- Cech for League and Ospina for Cups

Formation 3421
Laurent Mustafi Nacho
Ox Ramsey Xhaka Kola
Özil Sanchez
Lacazette

Subs: Giroud, Bellerin and Wilshere or Iwobi.

This. With Cazorla in for Ramsey if he ever returns to full fitness.

 

[Oooh to be]

What we need is to stop playing FB's at CB when we have fit CB. This should be a last resort. Monreal has served the club well but he has lost pace and is too small to handle the physicality of CB all the time.

Cech
1)Opsina

Mustafi Mert Kosc
1)Holding 2)Chambers 3)Monreal

Ox Kolasinac
1)Bellerin 1)Monreal

Ramsey Cazorla
1) Xhaka 2) Wilshere


Özil
1) Iwobi

Lacazette Sanchez
1) Giroud 2) Welbeck

This is my best 11 with backups in order. If a CB is out Holding come first then Chambers and last resort is Monreal. If a striker is out Giroud first then Welbeck.

Monreal at left CB is good, but I agree he's terrible in the middle. We won't be seeing Cazorla for awhile either.
