I'm prepared to give AW & the team time to tweak things too but I do expect a shift in style particularly focused around the pace and off the ball movement that you have mentioned.
It would be silly to not utilise the strengths of Theo & Gervinho's game as they both have pace in abundance.
the style of football means very little.
the meaning imposed upon it by the viewing public (fans, media and neutrals) dictates its wider perception.
Just change the freaking formation and we will see results!
SCfrrfguw
Sagna Per Verm/Kos Santos
Chu/Arshavin/Benayoun Song Arteta Gervinho
RVP
Walcott
I think this formation will kill teams! I am not sure about the right hand side.. we could have Theo there or Arshavin and Young up front.. we have countless options in that formation. And yea, no Ramsey!
But can you honestly see that happening? If not what does it say about the team's prospects for employing a more direct counter-attacking style when there is general consensus that playing our existing players in different positions/formations will get a lot more out of them, yet the reality is that this isn;t likely to happen any time soon?
Putting the laughter back into manslaughter
Agreed, Ramsey looked excellent for Wales both against Montenegro and England, yet for us he seems sluggish and off his game for some reason. I don't think we're getting the best out of him this season. Perhaps he is constrained by the role Wenger wants him to play, a role he's not suited to. Nevertheless, I think he's a real talent and wouldn't even begin to write him off.
