Arsenal vs Ludogorets Predicted Starting XI: Where Does Ramsey Fit?
By Josh Sippie
Olivier Giroud and Jeff Reine-Adelaide
I’ll be completely honest. I have no idea who starts at the No. 10 role. I want to believe that Ozil and Alexis will not play, so I put neither of them in this starting XI. The only other candidates for the No. 10 role are Ramsey and Cazorla. The former should start deeper, in a role he is more likely to play, and the latter is hurt.
With Walcott out, Iwobi has to start out wide. Meaning that we may actually get a window into Reine-Adelaide’s commanding abilities. Yet, I still can’t wrap my head around this prospect. I don’t think it’s a sure thing and would actually be surprised if Wenger did what I predicted.
Giroud will play though. And he will rampage. He will feast like a bear in a chicken coop (how has no one used that anology before?). Give him some good service from some capable wingers and I can’t imagine a match where big Oli G (can I call him that?) doesn’t score at least one goal.
This could turn into the Ramsey and Giroud show. At least, that is what I want to see it become.
