Team for Watford

I don't think Ozil or Giroud will start, think Wenger will keep them until after the international break (in which they will probably get injured).

Ozil and Giroud have to start. Drop points this weekend and Wenger knows he will be in deep shiiit

Are Ighalo and Deeny better than Giroud ?

Plenty of possession for Arsenal
mixed with a lack of anything up front
Same frustrations

Wenger refusing to change

Completely different types of players. However, if you asked whether I'd swap Giroud for either of those 2 I'd say no.

Giroud is a real good target man with a good touch for such a big bloke. Only thing he obviously lacks is any pace which means he often plays with his back to goal and plays in our attacking midfielders.

Walcott is more direct - plays on the shoulder of defenders using his speed to get into the box. In theory we have 2 good but different options (similar to Alan Smith and Ian Wright back in the early 90s). Only problem is that Walcott is a bit chit.

Why do people still suggest ozil on the wing

Would like to see Wilshere reintroduced to the middle of the park. People forget that if he can get six games under his belt in that deeper role alongside a decent DM he can be a fantastic player. He hasn't played consistently there since he returned from injury 2012/13 except for on international duty where he performed excellently. The following season he played mostly on the wing then since then he has dabbled in number ten. If he's fit, it's time to get him back to his best position where he can run midfields. Also time for everyone to come back.

Cech
Bellerin Holding Koscielny Monreal
Xhaka Wilshere
Oxlade-Chamberlain Ozil Alexis
Giroud

Should be far too much for Watford

I actually dont mind Ozil on the wing as he can be equally effective from there.He has played there a bit in his career.

We have a big problem with Sanchez.Despite showing his best form on the left wing in his first season he is actually a withdrawn striker and needs to occupy the No 10 position.

Bellerin---------Holding---Kos-------Nacho

------------------Xhaka---Cazorla---------------

Ox----------------------Ozil---------------Sanchez

--------------------------Giroud-------------------------

Bench - Ospina, Chambers, Gibbs, Wilshire, Walcott, Coquelin, Akpom

This is a good team and its frustrating to see Wenger not adding WC striker and CB which def will give us chance to win the PL.

Agree re wilshere. If he ever does stay fit he is a starter.
