If Arsene plays Ramsey out wide (after the lad FINALLY hitting some form in the centre) then he should be sacked immediately.
I feel we might either destroy the vermin 5-1 or we might lose 2-1 or we might draw with them or we might nick it 1-0. Or there might be some other score line.

Walcott obviously but fearing Wenger may choose to play Cazorla or even worse Ramsey (now that he's found some form) out on the wing. We would then have the problem of who to play in the middle of course!
Some signings please!
Why do you think he might play Ramsey out wide? - I don't think he'd even consider it given our lack of options in CM.
It'll surely be Wilshere & Ramsey in CM, and Cazorla, Rosicky and Theo in attacking midfield. Only signing a CM (like Flamini) would risk Ramsey being moved, and even then I doubt he would.

Why does he play our best most natural striker of a ball as a left winger? Why does he play Theo out wide rather than through the middle? Why does he play RB Sagna as a CH? Why does he play Giroud up front as a lone striker when the man has no pace and (often) no support? Why did he play LegoHead anywhere?

He's mental!
Do try and keep up g88ner!
Why is the earth not flat when viewed from space? why is it dark at night? why does it rain sometimes and not others? why don't planes fall out of the sky more often? Why am I a Mod?
You're right, some things in life just make no sense. Wenger's tactics fall into that bracket.
Have absolutely no idea how this will go, not seen enough of 5pur2 and their new signings to know how good they are.
Two 1-0 wins and both penalties gives an indication that they're certainly not up and running just yet, we have played ok against limited opposition but you can only beat what's in font of you.
Ramsey and cazorla have been our best players and Ramsey in particular has been very good, glad for the lad and hope he can keep up this level against better teams which I think he can, seems to be playing with bags of confidence.
Wilshere been a bit off the pace imo, tries too hard, takes on too many players, if he can simplify his game then he will be a better player for it.
Anyhow I am going to be optimistic and go for a 3-1 win.....

!
Gibbs with Monreal at left full back. 2-2 draw.
I think Gibbs & Monreal are a good pairing for the Left defensive (Mid-field and Back line) positions...Gibbs could be a decent left mid-fielder he has good pace can tackle (when he's arsed) and can even score the occasional goal! SORRRTED!

Wow! wonder what the odds are on THAT scoreline!?
Agree 100%...Perhaps all the (media) driven hype is affecting him..and so he feels he has to do more in order to live up to the hype that he is the future (saviour ) of Arsenal FC.
Jack needs to just play his natural game (his talent IS natural - as opposed to learnt) and so he now needs to observe and learn from the legends at the club players like ...like ...errrmmm aaah yessss...uhmmm
