I am not concerned about Rambo and Jack in those positions-but I would be worried about them having to carry Caz. Coping with the strolling Mert is unfair buthaving to carry crawling Cazorla is desperate for the front 3. Let’s hope Swansea have an off day!

Thank God you are not the coach. Wilshere and Ramsey in the DM role will expose the sluggish Mertesacker and the error prone Monreal. Let’s not forget how quickly Chambers and Gibbs forget their defensive duties. It would just be another high scoring suicide at best.

If you play Ramsey and Wilshere, the best the team can achieve is a draw.

No matter what the team selection it will boil down to tactics during the game. Wenger, amongst other things, is a poor tactician and, unlike American football, does not use his bench to advantage only to replace injured or tiring players . If the strategy is not working or the formation needs adjusting a manager must have the courage and confidence to change the line-up for the second half, albeit just one player . Wenger leaves it until the match is shot and tries to inject new legs. It`s not working. The balance and natural flow must not be disturbed and tactical replacements need to be made early in the second half, if need be., to keep the rhythm flowing.
Swansea at home are a tough nut to crack. We, like it or not, have a weak defense. It could go either way at 2-1. We are back to relying mainly on one man, be it Fabregas, Van Persie, or Sanchez. Let`s hope he`s firing.
