Arsenal Undoing All That Good Work
Arsenal has done so well in recovering from a horror start to the season and put together a good run of form over 10 games. However, with a drop in Auba's form seeing him now stretch his goal drought to six games. As a result of the team's form dipping we've had two losses in a row against Man United and Everton, and three losses in four if we include the Liverpool game.
I could say that the Liverpool loss was unavoidable but the Man United loss and Everton loss were down to poor game management and team selection in my opinion.
Mikel has persisted with Auba through that time and for a lot of those games it's been Smith rowe and saka that have produced the magic to keep the gunners grinding out wins.
Seeing Smith Rowe out for the Everton game was a big loss and you could see it in the way Arsenal struggled to break down Everton.

Arsenal were given a lifeline with VAR handing chalking off two of Everton's goals and that should have been a wake up call that the game was slipping away from them. To me it comes at no surprise that in Xhaka's first game back we would lose, he simply isn't good enough to play in the centre of the park.
He was already on a yellow when Everton broke away for the second goal so he could not make the foul or get sent off, a situation that not be an issue if he wasn't so lethargic in the first place.
If Mikel is going to persist with Xhaka he will lose his job, it's no surprise that Arsenal has played their best football with him out of the team.
Mikel will need to figure out where he's going to get the goals from and how he is going to plug that midfield if he's going to have any hope of stemming the bleeding.

I was very angry with yesterday's loss honestly @chekohler . We were given two lifeline!!! It was till richardlison scored the 3rd time that we played well for some minutes. Nketiah should have scored!!! How did he miss that?
Xhaka is not good for arsenal, I don't like him, he took a very cheap yellow card and he couldn't calm the pressure in the midfield. Ramsdale was angry pior to the goal and they kept frustrating him. The match pained me so much.
Seeing your post reminds me and I have alot to say but I'd hault here. Thanks for sharing.. Bye
I agree with you the ref gave us every chance to secure that win, I agree eddie is shit and Auba is shit both missed free goals and should be moved on
Xhaka should never put on an Arsenal top ever again, I was gutted for Ramsdale and the back 4 they really did their best to try and hold back evertons attacks
