Is recalling Wilshere an option? Could need him in this injury crisis

Maybe this situation will force Wenger to buy a new central midfielder, someone who can complete Xhaka. It's our only hope to still get anything out of this season. With only 2 fit central midfielders (Ramseys fitness over a long time is questionable), I can see us facing many problems.
Ox still could play next to Xhaka, but he isn't good enough.

This

Coquelin has always been a safety cushion for Arsene. An unspectacular player but safeguards Arsene from any midfield criticism, but Coq playing is unadventurous for any top tier side

We can count ourselves lucky we don't have any big games until Coq is back

If he comes back on time, that is. We'll have elneny though

This guy is a f***ing warrior. Rumours that he's back for the Burnley game.

Bye Ramsey.

Fine with Santi/Xhaka

Awful with anyone else. Not his fault though, only one man to blame

Substituting him cost our shape. To score a goal you don't go with 6 forwards and not a single central midfielder. Sanchez, Perez, Walcott, Ox, Iwobi n Ozil laughable how any sane manager would play with so many forwards.

Remember when we had 6 midfielders in our squad and Wenger loaned one out because we didn't need him?
