If we had a decent defensive drill, it could work. Victor Moses, for example, isn't really a fullback either, after all. And neither is "Hamez" Milner.

I respectfully suggest that a knife-edge Champions League decider v Bayern Munich is not the time and place for such experimental and dare I say uncharacteristic tactical meddling.
Let him run around Colney in a practice match and pretend he is a left back.
TJ and the new position.
I suspect Wenger used up all his tactical wildcards at the weekend when he left out Sanchez in a plan to go long in the first half. We know this because there was no training ground incident as reported. No.
For comedy value alone, and I don’t mean that in an anti-Yaya way, I would love to hear his name called out in the starting 11. The mood in the fortress would be priceless and we would know for certain that Arsene was now just having a laugh and is off in just over 2 months.
Decent name for a garage band though, all the same: Wenger and the Tactical Wildcards.
Fair play to Conte...has done a fine job in reviving Victor's career.

For what it's worth...Theo @ Left back was way better than the previous time we played them in a Knock Out 2nd leg when I said we should start the game with Sagna as a false goalkeeper :clap:
My argument was that there was no way we would score all the goals we needed so start with Sagna in goal and turn it into an absolute crazy back yard 5 a side goal scoring affair...something like 16-13 and just hope we get enough.

I think as complete one off tactic to completely bamboozle a side from the very start Theo at left back is worth a punt especially when you load it up with defenders like I mentioned...I was taking inspiration from the night Bergkamp played right wing vs Lazio and ripped them to shreds.
