I would say you are far from having “everything” really. Crap cbs. A whole team who can’t defend. An average keeper.
You still need cbs and a defensive midfielder.
But you xhaka and that nullifies all of the above.
We certainly have a squad that should be capable of top 4.

We have the defenders he just isn't playing them for whatever crazy reason. The goalkeeper is fine he just looks confused he doesn't know whether to go short or long he's getting mixed messages from the management. Torreira is a perfectly good defensive midfielder again only Emery knows why he isn't using him. His decisions are pushing him closer to the sack.

The point is that we have those elements that could actually propel us forward but the manager doesn't play them or doesn't know how to use them (Torreira as an attacking midfielder?).
But don't let your cluelessness get in the way there.
Lol I see you didn’t disagree with the other points but regardless Leno is probably 7th or 8th best in the league.
Arsenal have been poor most the season, an epic comeback was needed against villa too.
You should get top 4 but wouldn’t surprise me if you didn’t as your team is unbalanced imo.

Such a stupid statement to say.You will be forced to add Lloris and Pickford ahead of Leno just to defend your pathetic comment and you still wont get to 8
Can you actually name the 7 or 8 keepers better than Leno?I actually think Leno is better than Kepa in my opinion.
Only Ederson, Becker, De Gea (past reputation) are better than Leno in my opinion. Maybe Fabianski on his form last season
I think most Arsenal fans would like something like this:
Leno, Bellerin, Chambers, Holding, Tierney, Toreirra, Guendouzi, Ozil/Ceballos, Pepe, Laca, Auba
There are 6 players that didn't start yesterday. Bellerin is the only one I understand why he didn't feature. When you look at that lineup you can see that we have a lot of quality, balanced midfield(Torreira defensively, Guendouzi box to box and Ozil as playmaker), world class attack and very good defence.
Everyone see this except freaking Emery.

As poor as we are Gabriella would probably start at your club, In fact Gabriella is too good, probably Nkeita would probably start aswell
Better than kepa? Lol ffs.
My list of who is potentially better. would be ederson, Allison, kepa, ddg, Adrian, Romero, schmeichel, patricio .Could probably make a case for lloris and Pickford but I wouldn’t:
Leno still has a lot to prove imo. Even last night spilled a shot straight at him. Had the highest errors leading to goal last year in the whole league.
Who is Gabriella? Lol

The article heading says a manager away from "being very good". Having everything, in my opinion, means we have the personnel and the depth that can make us a very good team, in performance as well as results. Winning the league? Maybe not just yet but we are better than the kind of football we're seeing.
That's what I think the OP meant.
Maul
Good to have an actual response.
I think you will need two top cbs, maybe a full back (let’s wait on tierney) and two cms.
Saka looks like he will be a top player but still young and raw, probably just behind Hudson odoi in terms of development who is behind sancho.

Before we talk about what Arsenal needs, I would LOVE to see what we can do if we just play the best team we have.
We currently have no injuries bar Nelson but the players he leaves out and the reasons he uses to justify these choices are ridiculous. Apart from playing the best 11, I would LOVE to see a proper plan / set up... if Emery or a new coach (preferably) can do that for the rest of the season, what we need will come out.
This is the weakest Arsenal side we've had in years.
Literally every 3rd touch is a tackle, when under pressure.
Practically zero first touch across the board. Other than Calum Chambers obviously.
Next to no presence in the air, both in defence and attack.
Plus a crop of full internationals from the esteemed footballing nations of Greece, Bosnia, Ivory Coast, Switzerland and Uruguay.

Really? We came from the Denilson era and you think THIS team was weak? No... let's get it right, the team isn't weak. The management / coaching is. Sure there are some mentality issues (wtf was going on with that goal) but the team, as a whole, isn't weak.

We could always count on players all over the pitch who were comfortable with the ball at their feet even during the "Denilson" years.
Sure, some of them would turn to jelly as soon as an opponent ran at them with the ball, but that was then. Now we have players who don't even want the ball in the first place.
Players who would rather hide for 90 minutes. Players who are too scared to even open themselves up for a throw in. Players who start panicking as soon as the keeper catches their eye and rolls the ball out to them.

So you were happy with Mr Pass It Sideways Denilson? Just as the very first example? How many decent performances do you remember from him alone? Seriously I know things are bad but to play up that team as a means of putting this one down is as dumb as... Emery!

Well we have Saliba coming in the Summer of 2020 actually so Holding + Saliba should be a very good future pairing as we phase out Mustafi, Sok & Luiz.
So funny how we've gone from the "worst squad" last year to now somehow the best
