Team for this weekend

Cedric is not good enough for the PL imho.

Would put AMN at RB/RWB.

Not sure whether he will start two left footed central defenders in Mari & Gabriel but then again, a lot of coaches play with two right footed central defenders so I suppose it could happen at some point.

I'd play Elneny, Ceballos & Saka in midfield, put Auba back on the left, Nketiah up top and Nelson on the right.

Xhaka should definitely be dropped, this season he’s gone from being underwhelming to slipping back to the Xhaka that damages an entire game. While not a great option, I Can’t see what Xhaka brings that elneny can’t. It’s pretty much the same story for Willian, who hasn’t brought a thing to the table since the Fulham game.

Arteta is leaning too much into our senior players to dig him out of this rut, something which didn’t work for Wenger or Emery. Not suggesting he should play loads of youth, but there’s certain players who have proven that they’re not the answer to get you out of difficult situations, time to let others prove their worth

I think Arteta may make a slight change, but can’t see it being a significant difference to spurs game. He’s not indicated the players did badly against spurs, and said they did exactly what he asked of them. But he’s got to change things up and get results, because what he’s tried this season isn’t working, think if he drops points in next 3 games he could be in trouble

Xhaka should never again play for Arsenal if we want to develop. Last 4 years he is playing constantly and in this period Arsenal had the worst midfield in this century at least. He just brings nothing. Not good defensively, not good enough offensively, don't even know what type of midfielder he is supposed to be.

Xhaka did seem to turn a bit of a corner when Arteta came in, and actually had some games where he was decent, but yet again he goes back to being a player who ends up damaging the team. It’s not only him, We still have too many players who have routinely proved not to be the answer. We’re not packed with quality options, but We have to start finding other solutions

Players you want nowhere near will all start .

Arteta out

I dont think Cedric cant start in the PL. He defends better than Bellerin, can cross better, looks good coming in and overlapping and can take a throw in. There is nothing he has done worse than Bellerin and I think he warrants a start.

I am also not convinced by Nketiah in the league. He scores a few in the EL but every time he has played in the league, he has been underwhelming to me. If Saka can play AM, I'd go Auba, Laca/Balogun and Nelson up top.

Faaaack.

The four players i wanted NOWHERE near the squad are all starting today.

OP got it right. We need Nelson,Cedric and Balogun . I would bring Ozil back in as well as our forwards have no chance without a decent through ball.
