Gibbs a big fan of Wenger's new system at Arsenal

Arsene Wenger's switch to a new 3-4-3
formation has pleased Kieran Gibbs
after victory over Manchester United
made it four wins from five.

Kieran Gibbs says he is a fan of Arsene Wenger's
three-man defence and believes Arsenal are
learning the new strategy quickly after their victory
over Manchester United.
Wenger has deployed his new 3-4-3 system for the
last five matches and while the Gunners lost to
Tottenham last week, they have won the other four,
including victories over Manchester City in the FA
Cup semi-finals and against United in the Premier
League.
The formation sees Gibbs lining up as a left wing-
back instead of his regular left-back role and he is
happy with how it is working after second-half
goals from Granit Xhaka and Danny Welbeck
downed Jose Mourinho's men on Sunday.
"I think the formation is good for the team," Gibbs
told the club's website.
"After a few defeats sometimes you need to
change. It opens up new opportunities for me and
I'm happy to have got a few games under my belt.
"That's always when I feel at my best, when I get a
few games. I feel much stronger now.
"I think I can adapt to both [left-back and wing-
back positions] to be honest. A lot depends on the
personnel on the pitch at the time and how well we
can adapt to each formation.
"We still need a lot of work on this formation, we
haven't been doing it for long, but we can learn
quickly, especially in games like this. We are
picking it up quickly."
Arsenal's wing-back on the opposite flank, Alex
Oxlade-Chamberlain, was impressed by the
Gunners' performance in what he felt was a
convincing victory over United.
"It’s what we needed - we needed three points to
start momentum," he said.
"We had a disappointing result last week and we
needed to pick it back up. Obviously it’s tough to
play Manchester United.
"Three points was all we wanted and I thought it
was quite convincing in the end. In the second
half, I thought we played really well and I thought
we saw the game out well.
"It was massive [for our confidence]. We have to
win as many games as we can until the end of the
season."
