We are four points...

We shouldn't play any defenders.
They are all crap

Leno
Torreira
Xhaka
Smith Rowe
Willock
Guendozi
Nelson
Martinelli
Ozil
Pepe
Lacazette
Aubamayang

Leno
Bellerin Sokratis Luiz Holding Tierney
Torreira. Chambers
Ozil
Aubameyang Lacazette

Play with wing backs. Luiz best season for Chelsea came in a back 3. Ozil has less worry about defending. Your best strikers play up front rather than being shoehorned into the side

I think Sol Campbell as manager could inspire this Arsenal team and avoid relegation.

If that’s the best 11 Arsenal can put out then they’ve got serious problems, take the front two out of that and it’s an atrocious team.

If you remove Sane and Salah from Liverpool they also would be a different team, not as poor as Arsenal currently is, but not nearly as lethal as they are today.

Luis is crap and this team has nowhere near the talent of that Chelsea side. No combination of current players can accomodate Ozil. We either have to spend 150 mil on a cracking top notch pair to play behind him or leave him out. Playing him repeatedly is simply one more handicap our current crop doesn't need.

Globaled

Childish is wailing and stomping feet for Ozil to be playing still, in the face of his repeated failure and point blank refusal to perform. As I've said several times, he's shown the club nothing but contenpt for years. Yet you have Arsenal fans insisting he should play, like little brats throwing a tantrum after being told they have to throw away that broken old toy that hasn't worked for years. It's the Wenger Brats who need to grow up and understand there's no quick fix to our situation. Otherwise we'll be right back here in a year, after they spit their dummies and hound out another manager (perhaps even two cos they'll be turning on Freddie shortly).

You reap what you sew at the end of the day and this season, the only thing these fans have done is spit bile about and insult committed players and get Ozil reinstated to the side. The people who have sewed nothing but Ozil and venomous bile into their team all season. Have got no right now to complain that all they've reaped in result, is crap team performances. It's the same people who criticised Wenger for repeating the same mistake. But what they doing themselves now? Making the exact same repeated bad judgement call and penning in Ozil.

Ozil's done. Playing him over and over trying to get performances he's not willing and as is never going, to give. Is dumber and more obstinate than Arsene Wenger ever was.

*Literally compounding one of Wenger's biggest mistakes (if not the biggest).

The problem is our players are too scarred to close opposition players when they have the ball and that creates space for our opponents to hurt us. I think Ljungberg should trust kids who are willing to carry out the dirty work and he must tell them they're times when to back off from the opposition player when you should not. It's appalling to see them back off in our own box. I know they lack confidence, but you won't draw a game let alone win it if you do that. One of Koscielny's strengths was closing down players even though sometimes he got bullied by bigger players, but he was one our best CBs after Adams, Campbell, and Toure in a long time. However, Luiz and Sokratis who aren't showing their experience to Holding and Chambers. We need more numbers in midfield, so we must sacrifice for Lacazette or Aubameyang. So for away games Aubameyang is better, so I am going for him to play against West Ham. Then, Lacazette can play against Man Cityon Sunday, while Aubameyang should start on the bench. Also no Ozil starter for me away from home.

This my line up...

.................Leno...................
Bellerin.. Chambers.. Holding.. Tierney
...Willock... Torriera.. Guendouzi...
...Pepe......................R. Nelson...
.......... Aubameyang..............

You gotta be joking. We are crying for creativity and you propose THAT midfield? Ozil may not be every ones cup of tea but at least he CAN create. Where do you see the service to Auba and Pepe coming from? And Nelson??? I know he is young but him and Saka are sooooo far of the pace in league games that I don't wanna see them on the bench. But you want to START Nelson?? I'd happily play Martinelli there if we are to drop Lacazette. Then you have that CB pairing. Chambers tries but he is just not good enough. If anything, the only place he should be tried now is DM next to Torreira if you wanna experiment.

I'd play...

Leno
Bellerin Sokratis Holding Tierney
Torreira. Chambers
Pepe. Ozil. Martinelli
Aubameyang
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I left out Martinelli because we use him for the Europa League. I can see he did great tonight. On the other hand, I don't have faith in Sokratis playing CB . The guy can't pass and panics too often e.g. Southampton biggest chance. Ozil away from home not for me, but I am aware he's our best creator. Although we need to press more and be aggressive away from home and he isn't the type of guy. However, he can come on 2nd half in away games to change matches when opponents are tired. Nelson was good before he got injured, but I know to be in the Arsenal 1st team you have to be consistent throughout the season and he may still lack that. Now he might play against Standard Leige on Thursday. We'll see if he's ready.

Ozil is done and has been for at least two seasons! Arsenal lacks talent, muscle and speed at the back line. The whole team appears to be color-blind when passing the ball, forwards need re-educated on the offside rule, assuming there is someone who fully understands it, AND every time Arsenal concedes a goal, Leno seems to be looking around and saying "What happened?"
Apart from these minor issues the club is definitely on the right path.
