Or play an actual striker up front and keep Ozil on the bench...
In the PL with organised defences who sit deep against us we would struggle, it's the Barca formation but Ozil can't score like Messi or make the CB's work enough. A physical presence who can win headers and challenge CB's makes a big difference with our small midfield. Hope to see this some time soon
-----Coquelin Ramsey
Walcott Santi/Ozil Sanchez
------------Giroud
Yeah that's the sort of formation I want to see 9bit.
I don't want to see Ozil shifted out wide again. Now we have sanchez who has to play when fit, we also have ox who is doing well and walcott back. For me 2 of those 3 should always be on the wings. Ozil has to fight cazorla for the number 10 role. They're both wasted wide, and they take a posstion of another player who can do well there. They'll be games where it will be ok to have Ozil or cazorla wide, but should pretty much always never happen. Especially Ozil out there. Cazorla isn't quite as ineffective there.
Now with walcott back, and sanchez undropable I don't think we'll see Ozil or cazorla wide as much as we use to. I think wenger will end up going for
Sanchez--Ozil-- walcott
With hopefully a new DM and ramsey behind them. Difficult to see where wilshere would really fit in if we got a good DM who would play most games.
Hopefully with the form of cazorla, Ozil will up his game to claim a spot back and we will see the real Ozil return
Ozil shouldn't automatically get in our first 11 if everyone is fit but I think he will be and a CAM possibly himself will be shunted outwide.
For me:
------- DM (doesn't matter which, they're all sheeet)-----
Wilshere/Ramsey Cazorla/Ozil
Walcott Giroud Sanchez
The front 3 have to be Welbeck, Alexis , Walcott.
Santi has been player of the season with Alexis this season but I suspect he will go back to Spain for his last contract in the summer.

The thing about Welbeck is that he's gash. He does press well and work hard but with Walcott coming back and playing off the shoulder and often pinning the opposition back I'm not sure what Welbeck would offer bar a shocking touch and finish.

Work rate and holding the ball up. Face it. As much as I want a world class striker Wenger ain't getting one. So our only hope is that Welbeck develops.

Could a formation change elevate us?
