Play him in the Xhaka role
I'm all for anything that takes Havertz out the starting XI.
There’s only one player out there better than Trossard. Messi
lorddulaarsenal no better heir to Leo than Leo.
Arteta needs to start rotating our attackers in. Lots of players to rotate into the front 5 and I expect him to figure out how to use them all.

Such a classy unit, Leo ...
Such a good strike even our very own Karl Hein couldn't stop it.
Best one-touch finisher since Pires?
What a signing this has been!
Martinelli has a fight to get his place back in the team. Great first 60 mins from Leo. Really linked well with Jesus, have they played together from the start before? Really looked like they were on same wave length.
Sicario2 - Tier 1 they linked well when Trossard first arrived.
We simply play better football when he’s in the side. We started with our best front 3 this evening
Trossard Vieira Odegaard reminds me of Wenger hey days when he had tons of playmaker and number 10 always
Clrnc Add The Smith to that list and play them as a midfield 5 with Rice in the Flamini role and Saka as the false 9. 🫰 Or just switch Saka to the wing and put Trossard up top.
lorddulaarsenal they linked well when Trossard first arrived.
I hate to quibble , but I feel fairly positive that when Trossard first arrived Gabriel Jesus was recovering from his knee operation.
Anyway, an outrageous goal tonight and, as you say, Martinelli has got a fight on his hands for that spot now.
RocktheCasbah ah you’re right Paul - just had in my mind that match against United at the Emirates. Anyways Trossard combines well with everyone!
lorddulaarsenal he's been a quality addition. I'm kinda with you actually, I think he's been very unlucky not to see more starts.
I hear comparisons with Arshavin, but I don’t see that myself.
He’s quite unique as a player though. Has that look that the ball is not under control but it’s that which helps him evade players
lorddulaarsenal Because of his height, no backlift shots and the type of shots he normally take. All very similar to Shava
lorddulaarsenal weird how he's technically gifted and sloppy at the same time.
We’ve had some amazing dribblers down the years, who have different styles - Trossard, Arshavin, Gervinho, Nasri, Hleb and Reyes come to mind
Don't forget Cazorla!
He was dropped through no fault of his own last season.
Ideally should have been Saka when he was off form or Jesus.
