Arsenal potential side 2020-2021.
Thread :
Liverpool game was a perfect example why Arsenal can't proceed with the same squad if they have to qualify for CL football. Players needed and most importantly midfielders who can create are needed. The current setup is the best Arteta could have done with the squad at disposal.
Striker -
Aubameyang
Lacazette
Nketiah
Martinelli

I believe Auba should be playing up front because we can't afford to miss chances in big games as frequently as Laca does. I don't mind keeping Laca but Auba is my ST. His finishing is top notch. Others can fill in when needed.
LW-
Willian
Martinelli
Nelson

Willian should start on the left. He has played a lot of games as a LW and he has proper experience to feed Auba from left channel. He will help in tracking back too. He is quick and can definitely drift in from the left. Martinelli able deputy.
RW-
Pepe
Nelson

For me, this is Pepe's breakaway season. He needs to have some games in his bag. He needs to start and have a round of consistent games. He is talented. He is lacking in confidence. With us changing to 433, he will have a major role to play. He wont be isolated.
LCM -
Aouar*

If Arsenal really believe they want CL football, Aouar needs to come in. He is the most natural player right now to fit in our lineup as LCM. He can take on players which has been a key issue from midfield. He will straightaway slot in the team with his talent.
RCM-
Ceballos
Willock

Ceba is press resistance machine. He can dribble, shoot, create and most importantly run all 90 mins. He should definitely start as the right interior. 343 demands him to be more defensive. In 433, he would get the freedom to attack and create more.
CM-
Partey*
Xhaka
El Neny

If we move to 433, Xhaka would have to sit out definitely because we have more talented players in pecking order. Partey would be a WC signing. He is so good with the ball, he makes runs, he tackles well and would fit in as a CM. Xhaka and Mo deputies.
LB-
Tierney

No questions here whatsoever. We have a great LB with us who is forced to play out of position cuz of 343. He needs to play as a proper LB and then Arsenal can laverage his attacking potential much much more. Tierney, Aouar and Willian would be a great left side.
LCB-
Gabriel
Luiz

Gabriel slots straight as our LCB. No questions. He has already demonstrated in the first two games that he can start already. So good in the air, great one v one, and excellent with the ball.
Luiz can slot as LCB because he is two footed.
RCB-
Luiz
Saliba
Holding

Not much to add for Luiz here. He starts every important game for us. He is just so good with his experience and ball playing abilities.
Saliba still needs time and I am okay with it. Holding is an okay defender and can be slotted in less imp games.
RB-
Bellerin
AMN

Bellerin used to be so so good before the injury. He is getting slowly near to that level. His speed is a concern for me. But, still he is our best bet as a RB. He needs to support Pepe more to get the most from our right flank.

AMN is a great deputy.
GK-

Leno
Runarsson

No questions here. Leno is our first choice. He still needs to up his game with shot stopping. I was disappointed when Emi left but we have to agree that Leno is better overall. Runarsson can slot in whenever needed. Although he won't be called much.
Saka-
How can I miss him? No, I didn't. What I want to say is that he doesn't have a fixed position yet. He can simply play as a -
LW
RW
LCM
LB.
Depending on need Arteta will use him wisely and he would definitely perform to his standards. But, would I start him everyday? Not yet
Mari, Cedric, Ozil, Matteo
Not yet seen enough of Mari.
Cedric is definitely third choice as a RB.
Ozil and Matteo is a complicated situation and they should leave soon.
Kolasinac and Chambers should be sold too.
Emile Rowe is an exciting talent. Will have chances for sure.
Let me know/suggest changes you would make to this squad. Of course this whole things depends on us getting Aouar and Partey. If we don't sign Partey, Xhaka takes his place in the team.
