If you dont know why I asked that, there's no need to carry on with this conversation. Alexis has a way better output on the wing thats my point.

We started an experiment to see how it goes. He could blossom into an truly WC striker if he learnt the position.
No point in starting an experiment and then not carrying on with it.
Saints fan here.
Boufal is injured until October.
Hopefully Forster/Bertrand will be fit.
We are a much different team to last season. Mistakes in defence and pretty clueless up-front so far. Obviously we have it in us to cause you problems though. First three matches of the season have been pretty dire. We've gone 1-0 down at home to both Watford and Sunderland, and had to rescue points against them. Also beaten comfortably away at United. We are using a new formation a 4-4-2 diamond which leaves us vulnerable in defence - easily exploited out wide, and isolated up-front. I'm expecting a 2-0 loss, but then hopefully we can kick on our season from there, starting with our Europa cup games.
I'm expecting somewhere like 14th-8th place finish this season for us, top 4 for you. We won't be challenging 5th/6th like last season. Our summer summary: players are c*nts/managers are c*nts. Our season hinges on Boufal.

in all honesty we should be winning this and comfortably.
Ramsey will not return for the Southampton tie.

Feels good to finally be able to put out a strong team. Ramsey will be missed but there is able replacement for him at last. Time to start racking up some wins!
I'm expecting the same lineup as against Watford with maybe Mustafi starting over Holding. Lucas and Giroud to come off the bench and get some minutes because they'll need some match time before the PSG match.
Cech
Bellerin - Holding/Mustafi - Kos - Monreal
Cazorla - Xhaka
Walcott - Özil - Ox
Alexis
Bench: Ospina, Holding/Mustafi, Gibbs, Coquelin, Elneny, Lucas, Giroud
Theo and Ox will be playing against their old team, so they'll want to play well, especially since Lucas, Giroud and Iwobi will all be pushing for a starting spot. Might be too soon for Lucas to start, and I don't think Giroud will be considered as a starter for us. He's an impact sub and a backup CF. Wenger will want Alexis and Lucas to get minutes at CF ahead of Giroud.
Iwobi might not make the squad since he will just be back from injury, and Ramsey should miss this match too.

Can't make his mind up
Southampton don't look great so far. We should come away with comfortable win here.

Let Ramsey rest for the next 4 weeks. He will come in handy around Xmas.
Country: England
Player:Saliba
Hope Wenger plays the new boys to give the team a lift and excite the crowd.
We need the fans behind the team if we're to win anything.

We're going to win. It's almost mathematically and statistically impossible for there to be any different outcome.
I quite like Alexis as a false nine, but now we have Perez we should put it to bed for a while. It wasn't great against Liverpool or Leicester and a large part of it's success against Watford was probably down to their formation, along with the return of Özil/Cazorla.
