Willock needs to play cm, I don’t care who he replaces.
Willock needs to be starting games until he at least drops performances. From what I have seen from him so far, he has the potential to offer us something we desperately need in midfield. He's not a static player; he can run tackle defend pass dribble and even finish. He has the potential to be an elite player and I am confused why he hasn't been given a sustained run of starts yet (in the EPL)...Willock needs to play cm, I don’t care who he replaces.

100%. They compliment eachother quite well too. I see Guendouzi being an elite passer of the ball who can sit a little more, while Willock roams the pitch. If you chuck a top DM behind them the sky is the limit long term.I think Joe is our best central midfielder, him and Guendozi should be who our midfield should be built around.

We tried that in our first two games ! We were so much more solid (even with Xhaka being on the field).Would love to try those two plus Lucas just screening the back four, in a more 4-3-3 than 4-2-3-1, for a sustained run of games to see if it works...harsh on Ceballos but the other three are here permanently, and I would give that a go first.

Anyone remember I think it was the Europa League game against Standard, after we scored Emery went to Xhaka first to celebrate with...it will take something special to get him dropped this season unfortunately, and I like Xhaka, but you feel he will somehow frustrate us even more this season!

I think Holding has shown major promise when he’s played. In 16/17 he played really well in six of the last eight league games which we all won and kept three clean sheets, also was immense in the semi final then the final of the FA Cup that year.
17/18 was iffy but I felt Wenger shuffled him around too much after the Anfield week 3 battering and he was never going to get into rhythm.
Then last year he got into the first XI after week 6 when we went on the long unbeaten run and until his injury in week 15 he was an absolute rock.
I don’t think it was a coincidence that after his injury we lost just two weeks later and our form then started to tank. I think he’s really good and once he’s back to full strength Emery has to consider pairing him with Chambers.

From the BBC website ahead of tonight’s game -
Arsenal head coach Unai Emery: "We have challenges every day, we have challenges when we are playing matches and we have them collectively.
"This is our mentality and really we can be frustrated with some moments in our past. We are in our present but that frustration is to be one step ahead and be positive and be consistent in our mentality and our work."
Glad that’s all sorted then.
