Yeah, was just about to post that. going for a 3-4-3, good idea imo, especially with Monreal on the left as he can get back and support Holding. Oxo will need to do the same on the right. But it should mean we don't get overrun in MF. Xhaka and Elneny have looked horribly exposed recently .
It might not be. Gabriel's played right-back plenty of times, hasn't he? If I saw that lineup on paper, then I'd expect it to be a 4-2-3-1.
Moyes never had a fair crack at OT. After all he is still the best manager when you consider ROI - points per millions.

Sometimes i wonder if some of our defensive players are horrible or Wenger doesn't know what to do with them, or guide them? He doesn't seem to bother himself with the defensive side of things at times, it's always an after thought.
Good to see us whipping some early balls into the box. Giroud unlucky to be pulled up for a foul there
This has been a disjointed performance so far. No real urgency or fluency to our game. Xhaka and Ramsey both too cumbersome in possession and we're not getting enough bodies forward when we're attacking. I have to say. Given how much pressure AW is under, this was a very odd game to have a complete shape-up of formation.
Seeing as we have 4 in MF, we need to concentrate on getting the ball out wide, quickly out of defence. Then whip balls into Giroud.
So many of our players have pulled out of challenges, it's so ridiculous. Chamberlain being a key culprit.
