I'd give the edge to Xhaka on it still. But he's deficient in virtually everything else. But give me Elneny's work rate any day if he keeps these performances up. At the very least, Elneny doesn't LOSE us matches. I can point to Xhaka being a bone head and sabotaging a match. MANY times.
A playmaker 100%. I still think Arsenal fans are way to tough on Laca. He's scored in big matches, has a decent goal tally for being undersized and tracks back and opens space for Auba. I think you put an actual number 10 in the side and both his and Auba's goal tally sky rockets.
I been VERY impressed with Gabriel so far. I think if we can figure out this Saliba situation we could have a good CB paring on our hands. But this could be a simple case of Saliba is one of Emery's signings and Arteta is simply not impressed with him.
There is still ALOT of work to do. But I think our biggest issue is the creativity right now. There aren't many world class CB's on the market, but there are quite a few creative players we coulda went after. I'm furious we weren't in for Ziyech.
Arteta needs to put AMN as the 1st choice RB. Our attack is a lot more balanced with him at their. And he works better with whomever is on the right side.
Our attack is so left sided. All teams gotta do I just show us to the right
