Dortmund fella

[PSRB]

Too English.

4-2-1-3.

Just think how even more exposed we would be at the back.

"We're going to score one more than you!!!"

Cech

Bellerin
Mustafi
Holding
Kolasinac

Maitland Niles
Wilshere (c)

Mkhitaryan
Ozil
Aubameyang

Lacazette

To make it work you would need someone more mobile, combative and precise with their passing in the midfield.

So goodbye Xhaka

[Billy Goat Sverige]

Or we revert to a back 4.

Hurrah?

Hopefully that’s what happens. Either play Ramsey on the right or (my preference) Lacazette on the left with Mkhitaryan on the right and a Ramsey/Wilshere/Xhaka (pick two) midfield. ****ing sick of the three at the back.

I like the look of that team. Might even tempt me to use my season tickets again

Only realistic option unless:

a) The stories linking both ex Dortmund players are nonsense
b) Mkhytarian is arriving with a view to actually replacing the German, which is indeed quite possible

I do perversely enjoy how he appears to be totally overlooking the midfield when all the world is shouting that this is the area which needs most urgent correction.

That's been the case for about 7 years now, or more.

Shame you didn't see us play when we had Santi Cazorla.

[Billy Goat Sverige]

We need to sign Fabinho and play a 4-4-2 diamond :cloid9:

[Luis Anaconda]

That's been the case for about 7 years now, or more.

Those successive relegations clearly hampered our spending power though

To be fair to AW if we were to sign a midfield option this month it would potentially cause selection issues in the summer when Goretzka comes at which point he would be correctly accused of a lack of vision or planning.
