I am bored but also curious to see what people think our best 11 is when everyone is fit?? Mine is probably quite straight forward with probably one exception which I reckon I will get a bit of flack for but here goes. -----------------Cech--------------- Bellerin---Mert---Kos----Monreal ---------Ramsey-----Coq------------- Walcott---------Ozil---------Sanchez ----------------Giroud--------------- I think all my positions are straight forward but I sacrificed Santi for Ramsey to play in his ideal position and also for Theo to play his best position. I love Santi but I feel this gets the best out of our current squad. In losing santi we probably lose in terms of distribution through the middle and the kind QB role in the middle but I feel it is more than made up by the goals Theo will get us and the goals Ramsey can get from the middle. Also If Ramsey and Ozil can rediscover the link up they had 2 years ago it can be even more destructive than the one Santi and Ozil share. Plus with everyone and their mother desperate to come of the wings and play through the middle Theo gives us actual pace and width when required not to mention he has decent link ups with Giroud in terms of getting balls into the box.
No Cazorla ?! Mine is as follows: ....................Cech................... Bellerin....Mert...Kos...Monreal ..........Cazorla......Coq.............. Oxo..............Ozil........Sanchez ................ ..Giroud....................
Yep, I would go for that as well, the only tricky selection for me is between Oxo and somehow getting Ramsey into the team, because Ramsey does offer more goals compared to Oxo, also Rasmey is better defensively, and that's why Wenger always plays Ramsey even if it's out of posistion, but I would go for Oxo for his pace and ability to beat people and the fact he would stretch the play. Also Cazorla has to play, in 2015 he has easily been the best CM in the league for me.
....................Cech................... Bellerin....Mert...Kos...Monreal ..........Cazorla......Coq.............. Walcott............Ozil........Sanchez ................ ..Giroud.................... That would be my best 11. Walcott offers something others like OXO etc don't on the wing, a direct, fast attacking threat. He is our best finisher in the team and most natural goal scorer. I would have Cazorla partnering Coq, as he's been one of our best players since last season.
Looking in from the outside, I would say your best team is 4-1-4-1 with Walcott Cazorla Ramsey Sanchez as the 4. I know Ozil is a fantastic player, but he competes with Cazorla for me and I would pick the Spaniard - mainly on work rate.
Ramsey hasn't looked so good recently and both Cazorla and Ozil are playing some very good stuff. I would usually pick Ramsey in the center but its hard to ignore that Cazorla has been performing very well well in the deep position. Ozil to play the more advanced playmaker/attacking role for me.
....................Cech................... Bellerin....Mert...Kos...Monreal ..........Cazorla......Coq.............. Walcott............Ozil........Sanchez ................ ..Giroud.................... Bench: Ospina, Gabriel, Gibbs, Arteta, Ramsey, Wilshere, Oxlade-Chamberlain And still no room for the likes of Welbeck, Debuchy and Rosicky
