Ox - Sanchez - Welbeck
Seriously, when has Welbeck last have 2 games after another which were even reasonably good?
I was under the impression he's a complete failure and waste of money at this point.
Also, this lineup doesn't really scream "goals". Özil is in terrible form, the other midfielders won't score and neither will the wingers.
It's basically Wengers way of saying "let's hope Sanchez get's through once and Costa and Robben won't completely dismantle our defense".
I'd prefer Ox continuing his recent good form in midfield, but happy enough with that. Giroud hinders our game too much at this level, and Theo is a great asset in form but a complete liability out of it. No complaints with both of those two on the bench.
And Welbeck has been the same player he was at United, just with a lot more injuries. Strong, fast, hard working and good technically, but without the movement or finishing to be a top level striker. Would have been a great squad option if he hadn't been injured for 70% of his time here.
My worry is if Özil plays at 10 and Coquelin starts then we'll be completely dominated in the midfield. My preferred line up would be:
Ospina
Bellerin Mustafi Koscielny Monreal
Chamberlain Coquelin ElNeny/Xhaka
Welbeck Sanchez Özil/Iwobi
Either way I'm sure we'll lose.
