Arsenal: Where will Arsene Wenger play Mesut Ozil – No. 10 or on the wing?

Both Ozil and Cazorla at CAM and LW, which I suspect will happen naturally, but also between The German and Walcott, who should also continually switch flanks. Both Ozil and Walcott can make the runs in behind and Cazorla will find them. It can be a throwback to Dennis Bergkamp finding the runs of Robert Pires and Freddie Ljungberg.

I may be wrong but I also feel with Ozil and Walcott at least starting in the wide positions the speed of Arsenal’s break out play will significantly improve; another throwback to the early 2000s.

The reality is that whatever the combination or starting set up the threesome of Ozil, Cazorla and Walcott behind Giroud is as potent as any forward line in the league. I can’t help thinking that we may be entering an era of winning by outscoring significantly rather by not conceding.

Does this bother me? No not really, bring on the party.

This contention is based as much on the rest of the team as the new attacking combinations because, unlike many commentators, at least in the media I do not think Aaron Ramsey will miss out. I have seen most assume that due to the potential new look of our front four; one of Jack Wilshere or Rambo will miss out to accommodate a more defensive player, namely Mathieu Flamini or Mikel Arteta.

This is entirely possible and in the big top of the table clashes probable but Wenger may just say what the hell, we can defend better these days, so I will pick my most talented front six.

Many may consider this a risky strategy but in Ramsey and Wilshere, assuming the latter is back to full fitness, we have two players who can cover the ground and each other. This will include assisting the full-backs because Ozil and Walcott will not always track back as they might.

The deepest role is one of anticipation and intelligence, interception and distribution not crunching tackle and last ditch lunges. Both our young Brits have the attributes and in Ramsey I feel we have the most improved player in the Premier League.

Now given how thin our squad has looked with a few injuries and how inexperienced our bench has looked the management have come under some criticism during this window. Not sure many would argue they did not deserve the scrutiny and most would have added a cover defender and striker.

But any defence in the league will struggle against the pace and the creativity of the three operating behind Giroud. Juan Mata, Eden Hazard and Oscar – don’t matter, no danger and an acting award quite frankly.
