Arsene Wenger Has Plenty Of Options When It Comes To Midfield
Arsenal missed the likes of Ramsey, Wilshere, Flamini and of course the latest signing kim källström in the midfield, yet Wenger had plenty options to choose from. Although it won’t be effective in the bigger games, against teams like Crystal Palace, the Gunners have a plenty in their Arsenal.
While Lukas Podolski and Olivier Giroud started for the first time since the beginning of the season, it meant that Santi Cazorla who occupied the left flanks had to be shifted to the right as Ozil played in his customary no.10 role behind Giroud. This meant Chamberlain had to be deployed in a CM role along side Arteta as both Flamini and Wilshere were out of the game.
But the changes made by Wenger, din’t affect the overall performance from the midfielders. While Ozil usually darts down the right, yesterday he played more centrally and started the attacks from the back which allowed Chamberlain to get a run in at the defenders. Cazorla constantly shifted his positions and played more centrally as the game went on. This shows how dynamic the Arsenal midfielders are. The hopeful return of Wilshere for next week’s crucial tie against Liverpool could be vital for the Gunners.
