AW used to get the full back to overlap and assist, or get onto the end of crosses. Nacho and Kola scored 11 between them from LB in AW's final season.

Tbh, FBs was one of AW's great strengths.

It's nice to see HB in the box as opposed to tucking into MF. If we'd been playing him as an overlapping fullback, we'd have seen far more from Pépé. If they cut off his left foot, they allow him to tee up Hector for the overlap.
Might be time for you and some others on Awimb to accept that Ozil was a mistake. Wenger admitted he should have been firmer with him, Emery stopped playing him and Arteta now seems to be doing the same. How many Arsenal managers have to have an issue with him before we accept he was a mistake?

Wenger pushed his FBs forward but the ball inside the FB (a hallmark of Pep’s teams) was something we rarely did and it’s nice to see it with this 343 formation.

Leno
Holding Saliba Luiz
Hector Partey Xhaka Tierney
Pepe Boomerang Saka

This fills me with anticipation and note there is no Torreira, Laca, Ceballos, Gwendoozi, Martinelli, Mari, Sokratis, AMN and Eddie in there. All good or developing players so we would have plenty of options.

Ozil can f*ck off, and take Willock and Mustafi with him.
