Arsene Wenger facing an Arsenal attacking conundrum
Show/hide articleâŚ
So who would be in your Arsenal front four now?
Theo Walcott may have hit the hat-trick but two-goal Danny Welbeck was the man who left Arsene Wenger buzzing on Saturday night.
The fit-again England striker also left his club boss with a conundrum.
Does Wenger now play Alexis Sanchez up front, with Mesut Ozil behind him and Welbeck and Walcott either side?
Does he go for Olivier Giroud up front with Sanchez behind him and Ozil on the left?
Or does he drop Walcott, leave Giroud up front and play a three in behind of Welbeck, Ozil and Sanchez?
Far from brooding over his four-match touchline ban from the FA on Saturday night, Wenger must have been playing his own private game of Fantasy Football in the stands at St Maryâs.
He smiled afterwards: âIt feels like I have many new strikers because Lucas Perez played very well and I left Olivier Giroud at home.
âThe problem will now be to find the right combination which will use them well in games. The result is strong with the balance of the team.
âI [also] have Sanchez on the bench. It is an exceptional quality. For a long time we had not the offensive quality available.
âI would say we have a larger squad than Chelsea but they donât need too much because they donât play in Europe. They are not in the Europa League or the Champions League.
âThey will be in the Champions League next season but we have a larger squad.â
Under-strength Southampton simply had no answer to his pace, his ingenuity, his ruthless finishing and his determination to run the game.
He made two and set up another - all before half-time - to set Walcott on his way to his scintillating hat-trick.
This is normally the stage of the season where Arsenalâs form falls off a cliff.
The point in the Premier League title race at which the Gunners are on their haunches, out of breath and unable to draw on their reserves until the serious contenders are beyond them.
This year the reserves are doing just fine. So much so that it is hard to see - draw permitting - the Wenger boys not making a serious bid for a third FA Cup trophy in four years come May.
First things first, however, and Arsenal need to see off Watford on Tuesday before making some inroads on that eight-point cushion that Chelsea have built up.
Last season they topped the table turning for home, only to win just two out of nine and tumble out of contention. This time around they have responded to damaging defeats at Everton and Manchester City by winning four out of five and making themselves Chelseaâs nearest challengers.
They wonât be winning as easily as they did on September 24 when they face off again with the Blues next Saturday lunchtime.
But Wenger pointed out that his Arsenal players are displaying a mental strength that many believed they didnât have.
âThe test of our mentality is the amount of goals we have scored this season in the last five minutes and the number of people that have had an impact for us coming on.
âThe united feeling when you watch our team is for me a very important quality.
âWhat is at stake now is to be consistent.â

Once might have been a coincidence. Twice could be influenced by luck but what is happening now to Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain every time he starts in central midfield has become a pattern.
Gone seems to be the self-doubt that comes with having only the occasional moments in matches to make his mark and instead Oxlade-Chamberlainâs natural strengths â his technique, his physical power, quick feet and vision â are forced upon the game. Danny Welbeck and Theo Walcott will naturally attract most headlines for the emphatic nature of this 5-0 win but it was the work of Arsenalâs double barrelled midfield â spearheaded by Oxlade-Chamberlain but supported by Jeff Reine-Adelaide and Ainsley Maitland-Niles â that actually laid the foundation. âI like it in there; you get on the ball a lot,â said Oxlade-Chamberlain.
It is a position that Arsène Wenger has previously pinpointed as Oxlade-Chamberlainâs best but he has still remained curiously reluctant to back up that observation in his team selections. Indeed, just as against AC Milan, Bayern Munich, Crystal Palace and Stoke City previously over fully five years, Wengerâs hand was partially forced here by other absentees.
He clearly did not want to take any risk with Francis Coquelin and Aaron Ramsey ahead of two Premier League fixtures now in the space of five days but, even with Granit Xhaka, Mohamed Elneny, Jack Wilshere and Santi Cazorla variously unavailable to him, Oxlade-Chamberlainâs performance should force a rethink.
Ramsey has again struggled this season for rhythm in an Arsenal system that simply seems unsuited to his talents and, while he might remain the starting point against Watford and Chelsea, there should be no concern about elevating Oxlade-Chamberlain. Martin Keown described his midfield performance on Saturday as that of âan artistâ. Oxlade-Chamberlainâs contract status adds a further urgency to the situation.

Arsene Wenger hits out at critics: They would like to see me go to jail
Show/hide articleâŚ
Wenger watched from the St Maryâs stands as his Theo Walcott and Danny Welbeck inspired Arsenal side treated Southampton to their heaviest post-war FA Cup defeat. The Frenchman is currently serving a four game touchline ban for clashing with fourth official Anthony Taylor. And in reaction to his suspension and ÂŁ25,000 fine, Wenger joked: âFor those who donât like me, any sentence will be too lenient. âThey would like to put me in jail somewhere without anything in the middle of winter - and that will still be lenient. âBut I do not want to judge what the judge says. I got a sentence and I decided not to appeal just to get this behind me. There is no need for me to come back on that.â
Striker Welbeck marked his first start since May 2016 with a classy chip before another neat finish gave the England ace his first domestic brace for the Gunners. The former Manchester United star turned provider for Walcott to give the visitors a three-goal lead before half-time Two tap-ins after the break saw Walcott bag a hat-trick against his former side West Brom manager Tony Pulis claimed last month that the Gunners have a stronger squad than title rivals Chelsea. Wenger agrees, and has warned Antonio Conte if he does not win the league this year, his outfit will be an even tougher contender next season. He said: âI would say we have a larger squad but Chelsea donât need too much because they donât play in Europe. âThey will play in the Champions League next season and we already have a larger squad.
âWhen you look around you on the bench and you have Welbeck coming on or when he starts it is somebody else. âHe gives us more quality going forward. We have Perez, Walcott and Danny Welbeck and I have Sanchez on the bench, it is an exceptional quality. âFor a long time we had not the offensive quality available. âWe were very consistent with 20 unbeaten games in the Champions League and Premier League and then in four days boom boom against City and Everton we lost two games, twice while leading. âWe live in a world with small margins and everywhere in football as well, and just a fraction off we pay for it. It makes you very cautious.â

Arsene Wenger makes jail jibe as the Arsenal boss answers his critics
Show/hide articleâŚ
Arsene Wenger hit out at his critics after this emphatic win, saying some would claim a jail term was âtoo lenientâ for the Arsenal manager.
This was the first match of Wengerâs four-game touchline ban for his dismissal and pushing of fourth official Anthony Taylor in last Sundayâs win against Burnley.
It has been suggested he deserved a stadium ban, but Wenger said: âThose who donât like me, any sentence will be too lenient. They would like to put me in jail somewhere, without anything, in the middle of winter â and that will still be lenient!
'I do not want to judge what the judge says. I got a sentence and I decided not to appeal just to get this behind me.â
He was more forthcoming about his sideâs forward options following Danny Welbeckâs two-goal display and a hat-trick for Theo Walcott. âDanny gives us more quality going forward,â he said.
âWe had Lucas Perez and Theo Walcott and Danny Welbeck and I had Alexis Sanchez on the bench, it is exceptional quality. For a long time we did not have the offensive quality available.â
Both managers made 10 changes and Saints boss Claude Puel said: âIâm responsible for this defeat. But if I had to pick the team again, I would do the same.â

THE VERDICT: Unpredictability disappears for Saints
Show/hide articleâŚ
One of the chief reasons cup football remains so loved by fans is its unpredictability.
For example, who would have thought Saints would beat Liverpool over two legs to reach the League Cup final?
Probably not all that many people and yet they not only did it, but in convincing fashion too.
There were plenty of shocks this weekend in the FA Cup as well.
However, despite the seeming unpredictability of cup football, the majority of results do still go the way you expect. That certainly happened at St Maryâs at the weekend.
Just days after the heroics at Anfield, Saints came crashing back down to earth with a bump, and this was no cup surprise.
With injuries to contend with, and just days after his first choice side had given so much against Liverpool, and with an important league match against Swansea just around the corner, a cup tie against a side with such quality in their ranks was the last thing Puel needed.
He could have thrown caution to the wind and gone with a strong team, but took probably the sensible option and made changes, ten of them this time.
Puel can of course just turn around and point out that Saints are on their way to Wembley. That answer really does seem to kill any criticism at the moment.
However, the predictable element of this cup tie was that Arsenal would overwhelm an inexperienced Saints side, and they duly did, and in front of a sell-out St Maryâs too.
With just hours left of the transfer window, it also underlined the need for Saints to bring in another centre half, even if a deal falls more into the temporary category than something for the long term.
Saints donât really like to do their business like that, but they may just have to bite the bullet on this occasion if they are not to overpay for a player and, with the balance of the season, there seems no point in them doing that.
Virgil van Dijkâs injury looked to hold the key to any potential move, but Saints probably need some extra cover regardless of how long he is sidelined for.
Maya Yoshida has been far more solid than some have given him credit for, but Jack Stephens is feeling his way and will have ups and downs. Alongside an experienced head such as Yoshida he can shine, as he did at Anfield.
Playing with Florin Gardos, who looked very rusty in his first game for almost two years, it was a much harder task.
Elsewhere in the Saints side were a scattering of players most of whom did little to further their individual causes.
It is easy to write the Arsenal game off thanks to what happened at Anfield and with Wembley on the horizon, and to a degree that is fair enough, but Saints and Puel have to be careful not to burden too much pressure on themselves, and not to hand away too much hard earned momentum.
In a season of so many games for Saints the prospect of one guaranteed blank weekend, and another potential break for the quarter-finals depending on results elsewhere, is probably not a bad one.
It was just a shame for Saints that their defeat had to be so emphatic.
They truly were thrashed by Arsenal. They couldnât handle the Gunners from the start of the game, they looked inferior in every department and the scoreline certainly didnât flatter Arsene Wengerâs team, though Saints certainly contributed to their own downfall.
The writing had already been on the wall when Arsenal took the lead on 15 minutes as Ainsley Matiland-Niles combined with Lucas Perez to play in Danny Welbeck.
He produced an excellent chipped finish to lob the advancing Harry Lewis, with the ball clipping the underside of the bar on its way into the net.
Just seven minutes later it was 2-0, Welbeck getting on the end of right back Hector Bellerinâs high ball on the shoulder of Stephens and finishing through the legs of Harry Lewis who had got caught in a goalkeeping no manâs land.
It was 3-0 by half time as Stephens slammed the ball into Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg to give Arsenal possession. A few touches later it was in the Saints net with Perez giving Welbeck the chance to put the ball in the six yard box where Sam McQueen was caught flat footed by Theo Walcott darting in front of him to finish.
The best Saints managed was one drive from Shane Long saved by David Ospina and a few good positions that werenât capitalised on.
Despite Arsenal taking their foot off the gas a little in the second period and Saints duly improving a bit, the Gunners scored twice more, helped by being able to introduce Alexis Sanchez as a sub.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain intercepted the ball on 69 minutes and gave it to Sanchez who cut back from the right by-line. Walcott was on hand to produce a first time right footed finish that curled into the far corner.
The misery was compete five minutes from time as Sanchez held the ball up after another quick break, waited for Walcott to join him on the overlap, and fed the former Saints academy product who calmly slotted low past Lewis.
It nearly got even worse, but Lewis made a good late save at the feet of Perez to prevent any further woe.
Lessons learned for the young players perhaps, but also for Puel, who has now seen his squad look a little exposed in a few areas before the window closes.
There is nothing predictable about what happens now.

VOTE: Premier League Goal of the 2016/17 Season so farâŚ
Show/hide articleâŚ
There is a full round of midweek Premier League fixtures coming up and to get you in the mood, we look at the best goals of the campaign so far.
Not only is it Transfer Deadline Day on Tuesday, but there are also a number of eye-catching games to enjoy as the season hots up at both ends of the table.
League leaders Chelsea travel to fourth-placed Liverpool in the standout encounter of the round, while also on Tuesday evening second-in-the-table Arsenal host Watford at the Emirates.
Elsewhere, Tottenham - in third place - entertain bottom club Sunderland, while on Wednesday evening both Manchester clubs are in action, with City visiting West Ham United and United playing Hull City at Old Trafford.
And of course you can see all the goals as they go in on your mobile on the Sky Sports Score Centre app, but in the meantime, why not vote for your favourite Premier League goal of the season so farâŚ
What better way to both open your Reds account and kick off the new Premier League season than by scoring your sideâs final goal in a 4-3 win at the Emirates after a mazy dribble past a posse of Arsenal players followed by an unerring finish into the roof of the net.
Stuani made his Premier League debut for Boro in Augustâs Wear-Tees league derby, with the Uruguayan marking the occasion by opening the scoring at the Stadium of Light with an absolute thunderbolt.
The Reds captain stunned Stamford Bridge earlier in the campaign by putting the visitors 2-0 up with a sensational curling strike from 30 yards that left Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois clutching at thin air.
If the twinkled-toed midfielder has indeed played his last game for West Ham, then at least he will have left his mark on the clubâs new stadium after scoring an unbelievable solo goal to help salvage his side a draw with Boro.
The playmaker has been an absolute revelation ever since joining Boro on a permanent deal last summer, with the 26-year-old rewarding boss Aitor Karanka for the faith he has shown in him by producing this 70-yard run and cool finish to help beat the Cherries.
The France international gave the visitors the lead at the Libery Stadium with an exquisite long-range drive that flew past Swans No 1 Lukasz Fabianski, before nestling in the top right-hand corner of the 'keeperâs net.
The Irishman became the Claretsâ record signing last summer, although the midfielder has already shown it was money well spent by firing this outrageous dipping volley past a startled Artur Boruc at Turf Moor.
The Armenian wrapped up Unitedâs 3-1 win over Sunderland on Boxing Day with a truly outrageous âscorpionâ finish that brought the house down at Old Trafford even though the playmaker was fractionally offside.
Similar to Mkhitaryanâs âscorpionâ goal, the Gunners forward capped off a breathtaking passing move from one end of the pitch to the other with an audacious effort against Palace in what many observers have dubbed the goal of the season so farâŚ
Despite missing large chunks of the season with injury, the pony-tailed Hammers frontman was still able to produce a stunning acrobatic first-time volley to help down the Eagles at the London Stadium earlier this month.

This just in from our man in the north-east, Luke Edwards:
Sunderland manager David Moyes is close to a breakthrough in the transfer market as Everton pair Darron Gibson and Bryan Oviedo head to Wearside for a medical.
Moyes has been in regular contact with Everton this month over the potential signings of James McCarthy and Tom Cleverley, but after missing out on those targets, he will instead bring in two different players from Goodison Park.
Neither Oviedo or Gibson have managed to hold down a regular first team spot at Everton this season and unless there are any last-minute hitches, both should complete their moves before Tuesdayâs deadline.
