    A disappointing result today and a 4th consecutive draw now, I think Emery has been doing a good job but the reality of the shortcomings of the squad left behind by Wenger are becoming a reality, the winning streak very much masked that.

    In truth we need to get rid of a number of players, Xhaka being front of the queue (I hope Emery wises up to how useless this guy is), a lot of work to be done and as mentioned before this season is a freebie for Emery, in with a chance of 4th but personally think we'll miss out based on what we currently have unless we sign some quality in January.

    Leno at least taking his chance and showing why he should be ahead of Cech

    Looks like it - even in the final minutes of the game we showed no urgency, just passed the ball back and forth like we had all day

    From the BBC match report:

    "Arsenal midfielder Xhaka has made five errors leading to goals since his Premier League debut in August 2016. No other outfield player in the competition has made more in that time."

    That point we got today?

    That’s all down to Leno. He put in a performance that deserved all three while the rest deserved nothing from this game.

    Easily the worst performance of the season.
    If you don’t send this signature to ten people, you will become a Spurs fan.

    Wolves basically tore us apart today. We continue to play a high line with slow centre backs. Mustafi and Holding are a combination of clumsy and slow. Sokratis has to play literliterally every game but that of course is impossible. The whole backline needs new recruitment. Then there is Xhaka.

    The reality is the defence needs a revamp, you can't compete and build a solid defensive unit with sub standard players, I think Mustafi has to go, not overly convinced with Holding either, he's OK at time but just not sure he's good enough overall. We'll need a new full back or two as well I reckon to replace the ageing Monreal.

    Then in midfield we desperately need to ditch Xhaka, the guy is awful, sadly he seems to play every game despite his lack of talent, then there's Ramsey leaving of course and we should focus on bringing in a winger and someone who can get some goals from midfield, up front we're OK other than some decent cover for Auba and Laca.

    Outside that maybe we need some decent subs, our squad isn't very strong when you look at it, so an impact player or two would be good. Wenger left this club in a state and put together a prety average squad in his last days, we need to clear out the cobwebs and rebuild gradually.

    Emery has done well considering all the rubbish he was left with, his signings have been generally good, Torreira has been great overall and Guendouzi has potential and has done OK as well, Leno looks a decent keeper and Sokratis is also pretty decent, Lichsteiner is the only dodgy one, but 4 out out of 5 isn't bad.

    Someone should check the terms out to see if he accidentally signed for Spurs.

    Kolasinac's performance was a pile of crap. If he needs to have his hand held defensive there's no point in starting with him and Auba wide left.

    Globalgunner was bleating on about loving AMN, for God only knows what reason....because despite his having a bad game there earlier this season he is far more capable than Kola. If he isn't going to play central midfield why on earth don't we use him elsewhere with the serious deficiencies in the squad.

    Xhaka is annoying as I have been really behind him recently then he goes and does that. Your mainstay central midfielder and your centre defender being so error prone is a fundamental problem that just isn't going to magically go away....and yet look at the faith shown in both.
