Some players need to be taken off the starting lineup
Considering what we witnessed during the past few weeks, it is quite evident that Emery needs to axe some players from his starting eleven in order to meet up with his objective of securing a top-four place this season, with pure regards to their performances in recent games.

The likes of Shkodran Mustafi, Alex Iwobi, and Henrikh Mkhitaryan have been putting up performances that are well below their abilities and far away from what is expected from Arsenal players. With the Gunners on thin ice right now, such outputs cannot be tolerated anymore. Iwobi and Mkhitaryan may provide options on the bench, but there are better players who should start ahead of them.
Therefore, the manager needs to act fast in displacing these players from his starting lineup for the next three crucial games. Replacing them with the right options will surely provide the spark that is needed to keep the team afloat as they aim to finish the season on a high.
