No better options ... Xhaka may be poor but what better choices does he have?
He's hardly tried any other combinations. Xhaka plays 90 minutes for the majority of our games. Nobody else has had a run of games.
We gave Elneny a new contract. Try him out for a few games. Not a popular opinion but when he first arrived at Arsenal, we had a similar problem in the midfield because Cazorla got injured. Elneny got off to a great start and the fluidity to our midfield came back. We were linking the lines again.
Ramsey - play him next to Torreira and give him specific instructions to not go bombing up field. As a supposed tactician, Emery should be able to dish out instructions.
AMN is not a winger. He's a CM. Try him there.
He could even try Ozil in a deeper role or Iwobi and see how they cope.
Trying the same option over and over again is what really turned me off to Wenger. For example, Wenger would never try to play Rosicky in the CM role until he was forced to because we had injuries. It was the same for Cazorla. I don't want another manager that will persist with the tried and tested each week knowing the results. If he were open to giving all players a chance in the team, I could stomach so of the bad results. But he's using the same crop of players and just tinkering with the formation each week.
What else is he trying to get out of Xhaka?

Not sure if serious
Whats the point of playing Ramsey then? Hes different to all the pass pass pass pass crap we have in midfield and we need someone to get beyond the striker with a late run.
Most if not all of our CMs past few years have been pass pass pass crap and no one wanted that. Didnt work with Cazorla as our main man in there cos pointless passing is not the way to go. Play Ramsey with a DM who will stay back and cover. Simple
That doesnt mean Ramsey doesnt get back himself cos he will and does but why handicap him by telling him not to go forward?
