Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..
We really should be able to cope without Santi. It's definitely alarming. We all know Ramsey and Coquelin won't work but Ramsey and Xhaka or Elneny is an option and if distribution is a problem, I'd be tempted to say we drop Ozil back to Santa's role because he's the only that comes close to be able to do what Santi does with the ball.
I can't believe how short Santi is. Compact but short.
Yep, I do think that Xhaka will go someway to solving the problem if Santi is out for a while. Ramsey to a lesser extent...though I still have major reservations about him as a CM.
Elneny/Coq are both good players but IMO both of them lack creativity and as such don't make for a great partnership, solid yes..but not creative enough.
Good shout on moving Ozil back, I did think that before Saturday's game.
November has started early.
