----------------------------------------------------------------------

Because that is where he plays his best football

Oxlade needs to stay in the WB role, maybe pop him on the left so we can get Bellerin in the team and drop monreal. Alexis has already said he doesnt like playing up front.

-------------------- Cech -------------------
--- Mustafi --- Koscienly --- Holding
Bellerin ----- Ramsey--- Xhaka ---- Oxlade
--------------M.Ozil ----------- Sanchez ------------
---------------------- Welbeck---------------------

I wouldnt mind seeing Perez up front but Wenger doesnt like him and if Santi is fit he can either replace Ramsey or Ozil.

Surprise Ramsey is in that eleven but looks good,. Interesting call on oxlade

As much as a clown he is Ramsey is the best we have as neither Coq or Elneny are really good enough.

Holding does look top notch however Gabby has looked good in a 3 so maybe this is the formation that suits him as well.

That now appears ocbe heavily debatable!

*to be

--------------------Ospina------------------
-------Mustafi--Koscielny--Gabriel-----
Bellerin----Xhaka------Cazorla-----Monreal
---------Chamberlain-----Alexis--------------
----------------------Sanogo-------------------------

Why have you got Xhaka? He is a defensive liability and has been largely responsible for a lot of goals in our recent poor run. Ramsey is not great going forward but does a lot more defensively.

Why did you think City were going to hammer us 4-0?

The best back 7 line up would depend to a degree on our opposition. For some games, Ox would be the best choice at RWB, for others Bellerin would be preferred.

The biggest issue I have is who to partner Xhaka in midfield in the absence of Cazorla. Neither Elneny or Coquelin seem to fit in well with Granit, and Ramsey's current form doesn't merit a place in the starting line up

----------------------Cech -------------------
--- Gabriel --- Koscienly --- Holding
Ox ----- Ramsey--- Coq -------- Monreal
--------------Ozil ----------- Sanchez ------------
---------------------- Walcott ---------------------

Midfield needs energy and dynamism so Coq and rambo are perfect. Perhaps I would swap Walcott for welbeck but welbz needs to get on form after his shocking misses nearly cost us yesterday. Gabriel has to start after yesterday, Mustafi is a liability. Xhaka is also a liability. Next season they will fit in better but for now no

I would like to see....
