I'm talking about when he was at Hoffenheim and when they fired Emery which he wasn't coaching for yet, obviously you are correct in that statement now.

This is probably the best formation based on current personnel - although replace Saliba with Holding at the moment, and I'd still start Xhaka instead of Lokonga for now. Tierney and AMN can both defend well as the wingbacks, and Tierney can push forward to provide width and allow ESR to float between a winger/10 role. Also allows you to rotate Pepe and Odegaard into the winger roles.
Why would Holding start over Saliba when he's already miles better?
Don't believe Arteta guys. Saliba is amazing RIGHT NOW.

I read his post as Saliba isn't with the club right now so it would need to be Holding there. I may be wrong though.

I only meant that Saliba is out on loan, so Holding would be the best short-term fit there. He's certainly played better than Mari for us.

Look at how stupid our club is...we've spent the most money in the EPL and have the same squad of last year except for Ben White. I can't think of anything worse than that lol.

Part of me wonders if they put money into some younger players to sell us on 'trusting the process

Yes, yes, I just don't like his face, perhaps not as bad as Emery on that level though

No coach can contend with all those corrupt referees either.
So?
Replacing Arteta is a must.
It takes a special kind of stupidity to stick with Arteta when someone like De Zerbi was available.

Arteta is breaking so many Arsenal records.
Lost at home to Leicester for the first time since 1973, at home to Wolves for the first time since 1979 and at home to Burnley for the first time since 1975
Four league losses in a row for the first time since 1959
Lost the first two games in a league season without scoring for the first time in Arsenal’s 134 year history.
Finished outside of the top 6 for the first time in 25 years, and did that twice.
Already lost more games at The Emirates in 20 months than Wenger lost in 12 years.
