Lingard has a knack of scoring in high profile matches which helps massage his stats I think.

Lol Ceballos as it turns out it's a lot harder being creative against a good team rather than loving Burnley

To be fair he is playing a different role in a specific plan today.

Academy player and did decent for a while, long ago.

Essentially he came through at the right time in that there has been so much upheaval at the club no manager has ever stopped to properly assess him. He scored in a few finals which didnt hurt.

Arsenal are still suffering a Wenger hangover regarding the defence, when you consider they used to have a reputation as ferocious defenders who barely gave up a goal (1-0 to the Arsenal etc) byt that all went under Wenger, especially in the latter years. I don't know what Emery does defence coaching wise but Lee Dixon was very telling on Quickly Kevin when they asked him what he would've been like if he had come through under Wenger instead of George Graham and his regimented defensive drills and Dixon's answer was 'Hector Bellerin'.

I think Xhaka is Arsenal's Lingard. He was signed for a big fee at the time, occasionally pulls a screamer out of the bag and seemingly everyone with authority forgot to ever assess his contribution/progress.

The best bit is he was making noises like he felt he could move to a better team than us a few months ago, seemingly unaware he is one of our biggest problems.

How much was Lingard signed for?

I mean more the 'why haven't they sold that guy?' factor.

I think Xhaka's fee protects him the same as Lingard's youth graduate status does.

You've really dodged a bullet there to be honest

Arsenal are a bad team with bad players led by a bad manager (see also: Manchester United).

None of the centre halves are brilliant granted but that bad team with bad players had one of the share the golden boot with Liverpool's top top players last season so :shrug:

It really is a case of the manager picking a piss poor system which exposes a poor defence even more and starves what should actually be a good attack.

I don't think Emery is great, and our ability to defend set pieces is definitely his fault, but not sure you can blame him for the two balls flashed across the six yard box our big money signings couldnt tap in.

Indeed because Wenger never adapted, he wanted his team to play one way and triumph but he should have tweaked it. Emery changes the lineup and tactics to no noticeble effect every match.
