Our number one problem at Arsenal is the management and manager.. They knew Ramsey, Iwobi and MKH are going to leave the club but they never plan for any replacement.
And to make the matter worse, Ozil has been dramatically taken off the team. Now we have a midfield with players that are creating nothing for our attackers to feed on.
Look at the game today, our attackers had nothing to feed on. How many of them had a shot on target? You can all blame Xhaka for the 2nd goal but what about the 1st? And even the 2nd goal should never have been scored if Luiz didn't leave the guy he supposed to mark down.
I think Emery should change our defence for the next game. Take one of Luiz or Papa off for Holding. We can even play Bellerin and let Chambers come to the middle to replace Xhaka.
If we sell Xhaka tomorrow, it won't solve our problem. Even if you sell the whole team and get a new set of players... our management is killing us guys!
No Xhaka is not our problem...

It’s obvious Emery is not taking us anywhere than down nothing will change our mind we need new manager ASAP can’t see us beating Wolves or Leicester so expect two more losses

Xhaka is the problem as is Emery for picking him, he’s to slow , doesn’t go with runners and rarely plays a forward pass, utter donkey

With that midfield, who can you look at and say..yup that guy is the DM? The one to protect the back 4 and just keep shape? Drop Xhaka, play Torreira next to Guendouzi and play Ozil or Ceballos at number 10. NOT out on the left wing like we did today. Emery is trying to do too much with players in wrong positions and formations that are plain dumb. Play our best players in their best position..simple. We need Bellerins pace even though he is not the best defensively, putting Chambers at RB against a speedy winger is stupid. One of Sokratis or Luiz need dropping for Holding...not so much cause they are bad but they are similar players who play on the front foot. Holding is more like a Mertesacker in how he positions himself and reads the game.
Anywho..Emery is an idiot.

You didn't get it... we are all scapegoating Xhaka now just like we did with Wenger and other players that left us... How many chances did your midfielders create after Xhaka left?
Xhaka didn't play on Thursday night and it was really easy for us to win the game. Wasn't it?

Check out Xhaka stats, and still tell me he isn’t a problem, would sooner see Chambers in that role, at least he knows how to win a header and defend

He's not 'our' problem he's one of 'our' many problems.

Him being the captain is a massive problem. Only an idiot can't see that.

It’s both. Xhaka isn’t a proper DM, gives away countless pointless fouls, then is often lazy and feeble when he actually is under pressure to make a challenge or defend. He’s also too slow to play midfield in this league, can’t cover the ground quick enough defensively and can’t get run or get the ball up the pitch fast enough. He’s got a decent shot and a good long pass now and again. That’s about the only positive he brings the team
Emery is equally a problem, over a year in and we still can’t defend, can’t control a game and can’t create chances. I don’t think he knows how to get this team playing well. All the good bits he brought early on in his tenure have gone. We never impose ourselves, yes we’re not a top team but against most sides in the league with the players we have we should dominate the play and at least be able to put them under pressure for long periods. It’s like we’re always set up to play a team that’s far better than us.
For me I’m really close to being done with Emery. Unless he makes drastic changes over next couple games, I’m up for a mid season switch of manager. I just don’t see where he’s taking us and how we’re getting better under him

That's how I felt a few games back, was 99.9% sure then I'm 100% sure now, I don't see him making any drastic changes, he didn't even have the balls to pick his own captain.
