This is as good as I've seen arsenal in a long time
I've been screaming for Laca/Auba as dual strikers for the longest. It's also clear that Arteta told Lakonga "mark Buendia like fukking glue". When the two holding mids stay mid and let the forwards be forward it can be really effective.
Also, like I've also said. This team needs a link between mid and attack. Lacazette as basically a CF or False 9 works because Auba, Saka and ESR want to interplay. shyt will really pop off once those 4 get their rhythm in check and can ping in the one touch stuff.
But also...its Villa.
People said that last week was the best 11 and I personally don't think so. Swap in Tierney for Tavares and Xhaka (eugh) for Lakonga and THEN its the best 11.
