His thinking is clearly that we have 3 CBs with Monreal able to cover as 4th CB. Flamini can also play LB to cover for Gibbs if Monreal has to cover CB. Arteta, Flamini and Chambers cover DM.

Its extremely risky to have players covering 3 positions each to cover for our lack of squad depth. We can only hope we dont have too many defensive injuries before January. But then again this is Wenger. Who know if he will buy anyone in January either?

Monreal? I dont even want him at full back, let alone centre half. Arteta gets exposed as a DM because he's small and slow. Our only physical midfielders are Flamini and Diaby, one of whom is also small and the other is constantly injured. We needed Carvalho for strength and height in midfield.

As for 4-1-4-1, its like he had Arsenal on FIFA set to 4-2-3-1, changed formation and forgot to move players around. Wilshere and Ramsey with Arteta behind doesn't work because of Arteta's aforementioned problems and Wilshere's size/ poor defensive skill. If we had signed Carvalho, he could've taken Arteta's spot with Ozil replacing Jack, with Santi/Ox/Sanchez wide and Giroud/Sanchez up top
