Theo Walcott – The Outlet Role
More than Walcott’s movements, is the system Arsène Wenger has in the past used but with more compactness this season; the ‘Midfield-4’ as I like to call it, early in the season Rosicky was used in the #10 role with Cazorla on the LW but with a lot more freedom to drift deeper and make up a Flat-3 with the Double Pivot, while also supporting the #10 in the final 3rd, all together it gives off a compact shaped Midfield-4, whereby all 4 midfielders can easily find each other, interchange and support in order to overload the central areas specifically, but are also able to overload the flanks on either side.
