I really don't understand Elneny and Xhaka in MF

Really not sure what more Xhaka had to do to get dropped for at least 1 game to give someone else a chance. Maybe score 5 own goals and wipe his árśe on those big Arsenal flags behind the goal?

It looks as though Arteta has no intention of even attempting to win the game with this facking line up.
A boolsheet manager who doesnt know what the fack hes doing.
3 points to Burnley even before a ball is kicked

Even if we win, picking lineup like this is unbelievable. Xhaka Elneny midfield against Burnley. Holding, Xhaka, Bellerin, Willian shouldn't play, what does players playing in EL have to do to deserve a start?

I think we may WIN this game...but it will give a stay of execution to those 4 players. Southampton next...who fancies Xhaka against their press? Or Holding versus their pacy frontline? Willian has done NOTHING all season and starts in the league AGAIN. And Bellerin...fack me.

Any coach worth his salt will know that the midfield battle is won before the game starts and they need to attack down our right and defend on their right. That's it.

Actually gobsmacked with that lineup.

Xhaka in the middle again.
Bellerin wtf
Willian with
Lacazatte back into the team.

Really was hoping to see Niles in the middle with Elneny.
Wanted to see Cedric at RB ect.

These 4 players should've been dropped weeks ago.

Looking for the positives... at least it should be 4 at the back and not 3/5

This must be a real downer for the players doing well in the Europa, knowing no matter how well they play and how poor the first teamers play, they will barely get a sniff

I am furious with Arteta however seems the only reasons for this lineup is to figure out his long term plans so he’s basically playing these players to see who he can keep especially playing under pressure we are currently in.

He has already decided AMN is a keep but Bellerin, Holding and Lacazette are under test if they fail again then his decisions for their future will become clear.

The likes of Xhaka, Mustafi, Ozil, Sokratis, Chambers are gone will be released or sold.

Anything else is just Madness.

Shiiiit...we are not winning this lol. Xhaka...I want you out of the team but not via a red card. Bellerin..suspended for midweek as well lol

Xhaka & Bellerin missing the Southampton game is an absolute blessing, not even kidding.

Absolutely...but it should be because manager saw that they are crap...not because they are suspended.

Pepe is back though!!!

Hopefully Xhaka gone in January, never want to see him in an Arsenal shirt again, wanted him gone before he arrived, absolute criminal caveman reaction, he is soooo thick. Xhaka gone in January would be the best Christmas present.

What do you think you can get for Xhaka in the current climate?

Would happily let him go for zero.

But if we're lucky maybe some Bundesliga side will give us £10m for him, £15m max.

What are his wages like?
