We play whoever we must. Xhaka has played CB for us. Mustafi has played RB. Luiz has played LB.

I see Aubameyang of all people busting a gut to make tackles and track back under Arteta. I think he should be able to find one other player in our 25 man squad who can do Xhaka's job with better pace and fewer f**k ups.

guendouzi is even more careless
willock has tunnelvision
putting our best CB in david luiz in his role where he hasnt played for half a decade at 32 seems a stupid idea (given we have no CBs anyway)

we have no real funds in the transfer market which is already limited and even more expensive in january

we ride out until the summer, sell xhaka and bring in 2 CM's, one of them must be left footed

What's w/ Holding? And where's Bellerin?
These injuries play havoc w/ young players.

Emery absolutely destroyed cos he plays Xhaka.

Arteta does. It's cos there's no one else to play there blah blah blah.

Hypocrisy at its finest.

Fair, difference is that so far Arteta seems to be getting a half decent version of Xhaka. Under emery he was even more toilet than with Wenger.

I'm wondering whenwe're going to get rid of this guy and replace him with someone decent, Arteta seems to have him playing every single game, it's almost as if he's captain but without the captains' armband.

Just sell him to Hertha while we can still get a decent fee from him.
He's not a bad player but the league is over anyway for us so we can just start playing youngsters like Burton in his role.

Take my comment back.
He was massive in the 2nd half.
