Don't you have Aubamayang up front?

He's played 75% of the season from the left wing.

Lacazette or Nketiah have been playing through the middle.

Very impressed with how arteta is trying to build a team, from a very unbalanced squad.
Partey would knit so much together , he’d  be a critical addition. I will get excited if that one gets done.
You have needed someone like that for a long time. I thought Xhaka would be the player but he has never kicked on.

I think Arsenal need to focus on centre backs and centre midfield. Then they can look at other areas.

You need very much those three in particular, although Auba is a stop-gap at this point and may hurt you in the future depending on the length of his contract. Good bit of business, I think.

Not really sure that is true. Still dropping waaaay too many points where they shouldn't be.

Agreed on the keeping the right players though (with the exception of Luiz  ;D ). Fantastic work securing Martinelli and Saka. Those two and Auba are about the only players I would take from Arsenal.

A lot of work to be done at Arsenal to get them back where they belong.

EDIT: Looking at your results, you've done better than I thought to be fair (just before the lockdown)... I also had a look at your next 5, I don't see you getting more than 5 points or so from that.

Our only bad "run" was losing the first 2 games after lock down, any other team that started badly was put down to no football for a 100 days.
We still have a long long way to go, there are gaping holes in the team, but he is trying to address those, if we get Partey, and with highly rated Saliba arriving, plenty to look forward to.

Even this season isnt over yet, very tough game today at Wolves, must win  if we want an outside chance of CL. There's a lot of positivity around the club, and its all down to Arteta.

Its strange the perception of Arsenal after losing those 2 games coming back from lockdown. We're actually about top 4 in the form table since Arteta took over (think we are 3rd in the famous Spurs calander year table).

We've been beaten 3 times domestically since he took over. 1 was at home to Chelsea in his first game where we just ran out of steam the last 10 minutes, another losing with basically then last kick of the ball at Brighton, the other was at Man City. He's tightened the defence a little, with the exact same players really. Think we have 6 clean sheets in 14 games, whereas Emery had 10 in 54 or something like that.

Call it a new manager bounce or whatever, but basically he's doing what you would hope that any new manager would do. The next 5 games are tough and will be more tests again, but I still wouldn't judge him too harsh yet because these aren't his players.

The summer will tough, but let's see if we can get the type or players in (& out) he obviously wants and see if we can kick on further.

Ornstein saying Guendouzi has been training on his own for the past two weeks. Sounds like it's a Sakho type situation and everyone involved is fed up with his attitude.  Guendouzi also had similar problems at Lorient. Arsenal will seek to sell/swap him in the window

Think this has been an ongoing issue with a few incidents over the past few months. If true, and he's been undermining the manager somewhat, makes sense to get rid considering he's one of the players that actually might have some value in the market, & the manager doesn't see him as integral to what he wants to do going forward.

Spurs and ourselves will beat you I reckon. Don't see you beating Leicester (let's say a draw), and the other game I accounted for was the FA cup game as I forgot it was the FA cup.. But City are trouncing your lot in that.

Improving for sure though. Still a couple of years of competing, all things going well.

Kolasinac with a game-changing error, but Mustafi might take the cake for just dreadful defending throughout.

Getting beat by Kane in pace and power one moment as he's brushed off with ease.  Then later, giving the ball away with ease and then trying some strange flying block nowhere near the ball as Kane flies past him in the box again.

Our record at the Emirates isn't good, but if Arsenal defend like this...

Don't think it's any surprise to anyone that we are weak in defence just now. He's changed to a 3 to paper over cracks slightly, but at the end of the day it's still the same personnel. Until that actually changes, mistakes will still happen.

Don't think we need to concern ourselves with the very top of the table for the time being, but we should be certainly targeting  getting in and around the top 4 next season, and I see no reason why we shouldn't.

All depends on what we are able to do in the summer for me. Can we get another central defender in that's better than what we have to go along with Saliba (some might say that shouldn't be too hard).
Can we get a more mobile, athletic, powerful midfielder to give us a better balance in midfield?

If we can get those things as a minimum, I think we'll do ok, and should challenge for 4th to 6th. If we don't, then yes, I think we will be from 6th to 8th as we will see the same mistakes happening from the same defenders at crucial times that cost of crucial points in the big games especially.

So for that reason.....

a friendly bet for next season  Arsenal don't get the top 6.

...... Come back to me in September lol.

Playing 3 at the back takes too much away from our attacking game, we need a central midfielder and 2 good center backs for next season. Could be Sokratis with Saliba and Partey, I'd settle for that moving forward.
We threw it away today, but now the league season is over I hope we rest up against Liverpool in midweek to give our  players a chance against Man city in the cup semi final on Saturday, the midweek game means nothing at all and it would be stupid to waste our energy chasing Liverpool around then play Man city 3 days later.

I dont think its much of a jump to the top 4. Looking at Chelsea and Leciester this week, they are nowhere near excellent sides. Spurs are bang average and had to park the bus against us with all our problems. Only United seem to have stepped up but everyone is still miles behind the top 2. There isnt much quality beyond LFC and city so any team that goes on a run can get to CL, especially if City's 2 season ban gets upheld.
We do need players, but if we get them, the top 4 look nothing like the closed shop it was a few years ago.
