I just feel that a lot of these players are not tactically aware, have no idea how to impose a game plan. For a guy like Unai, a man who studies day and night and produces video after video of the opponents strengths and weaknesses for these players. In the past week. 3 teams have managed to play to thier strengths with absolute ease.
Do these players have the intelligence to understand what is being asked of them, it is quite evident they do not. It was pretty obvious how Leicester were going to play today, long ball into the channels for Vardy to chase. Press us in the middle and force us into errors. Let’s be honest they didn’t have to get out of 2nd gear. Even before the sending off they were all over us, so let’s not use that as excuse.
Again these players had no answer to a very predictable game plan. We were even pumping long balls up to laca and Auba knowing that Maguire and Evans would have a field day. I think it’s just a lack of awareness in general. For e.g, Kolasinac trying to play offside in the first half knowing that 3 of his own players were behind him. Also trying to do a trick near his own area.
Most these players are a joke, they are tactically dumb. Wolves and Leicester will never have easier games than they did this week. The sooner we lose the dross the better, we are going nowhere.
Lack of tactical awareness in the team

Yeah they’re dumb. The same players were thick under wenger. It’s hard to improve things when the players just can’t do basic things on the pitch. Like mustafi going to ground constantly, there’s no way anyone has encouraged that. He is just dumb and panics. Also the fact there are no leaders in the pitch, no one is interested in digging themselves out of a hard situation. Soon as anything goes wrong they all panic then feel sorry for themselves for rest of the game
At least about 4/5 players who regularly start need getting rid of. Don’t even need replacing with more talented players, just players with bit more about them mentally, and who can consistently do the basics right and aren’t total passengers every other game

How can we replace the deadwood if we only got 50m to spend?

There is that, but also today's team had no chance.
2 man midfield against 3 will never work.
Auba and Laca is not a good partnership, has only really looked good when Ramsey has been inbetween them.
All focus is on Europa. Our injury list doesn't help either.

Full backs, Xhaka, Iwobi, Mkhi all need replacing. Get rid of that waster Ozil out.

We can’t. It’d take a good few seasons with that budget. But either way the dumb players have to go. Can’t progress at all with them. Even if we had someone like Leicester’s team I think emery would be getting them playing better than these lot

We need a LB, 2 wingers and 1 or 2 CB depending on Kosc and Holding. If we play 3 at the back, then we need 2. Mhki, jenkinson, Lichsteiner, Mustafi and Iwobi need to go. Iwobi...frustrating player...obviously skillfully but his end product is appalling. At his age, end product should be visible
