Wenger to have selection problem...Arsenal fan say

Now, since we are mostly done with our
transfer business, it’s time to start
speculating about what will be our
strongest possible lineup for the next
season.
I am sure even Arsene Wenger is not
sure about his strongest XI at the
moment, and it is going change on a
number of occasions during the season.
But, since it’s international break upon us
and we don’t have anything better to do
for next two weeks, so we are going to
speculate about the strongest possible
lineup for us.
Now, keep in mind that the following line-
up doesn’t take injuries into account.

Goalkeeper:

Well, this one takes no guessing. Petr
Cech is our number one goalkeeper and
until and unless he turns into Manuel
Almunia overnight, he is going to keep his
position for foreseeable future.

Defence:

Our full-back spots are also pretty much
nailed down at the moment. Hector
Bellerin is our undisputed number one
right-back by a long distance while
Nacho Monreal is currently comfortably
ahead of Kieran Gibbs in the pecking
order.
Now, there is a decision to be made by
Wenger when it comes to centre-back
partnership.
Laurent Koscielny is one of the first
names on the team-sheet, but who will
partner him when all of our defensive
players are fit? I think by the time Gabriel
and Per Mertesacker will return to
fitness, new signing Shkodran Mustafi
would have cemented his position in the
starting eleven.

Midfield:

Central Midfield is going to be the
trickiest area for us this season as we
have a huge pool of players to pick from
for these positions.
Granit Xhaka has already displayed what
he can offer us in the position. He was
quite impressive for us in the game
against Watford, and I think he will be a
regular starter for this season. But who
will partner him in midfield?
We have loads of options in Aaron
Ramsey, Jack Wilshere, Santi Cazorla,
Francis Coquelin and Mohamed Elneny.
I suspect Wenger will try to recreate
Ramsey-Arteta pivot of the 2013-14
season by playing Xhaka and Ramsey
together this season.
Playing alongside Arteta brought out the
best in Ramsey that season, and I think
that Wenger believes Xhaka can have the
same impact on the Welshman this
season.
It’s not even worth discussing the
number ten position as we one of the best
players in the world for that position. I
intend to finish this article without naming
the best player in our team.

Attack:

For now, Olivier Giroud is the best option
to lead our attacking lines. Alexis
Sanchez will return to his position on the
left once the Frenchman makes his
return to the squad.
It’s a sad state of affairs that I am going
to name Theo Walcott for the position on
the right despite his indifferent form for
us last season. It’s really frustrating to
see that despite Walcott’s disastrous
form, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain hasn’t
been able to take advantage of the
situation and make the position his own.
It has been sort of competition between
Chamberlain and Walcott to see who can
be more inconsistent with their
performances and at the moment it
seems that Chamberlain is winning the
competition.

Lucas Perez is the one to look out for this
season. I think he will get to play in the
striker position as well as on the wings
for us.
I won’t be surprised if he manages to
push either of Giroud or Walcott out of the
starting eleven by December.
