It was Europa against Vienna? I wanna say.
He can do it ofcourse but it’s not his game. A lot of his passes are along the floor also, I’ve never seen him switch play like Ceballos or Xhaka does sometimes.

Ceballos is certainly a better passer and has better technique, Elneny at the other hand reads the game better and does what's needed to be done with little stress. A great all rounder.
With Partey in the team Elneny is certainly a better partner but we are pure AM ala Mata (young) or Bruno from having a perfect midfield.
Ceballos is not a good idea of CAM imo, takes him like forever to execute smart pass which in most occasions needs urgency to caught teams pant down.
In a serious note I will pretend I did not see Giberto comparison with Elneny in terms of physicality as it's a slap-worthy offense. GS in his days was a beast; very quick, insane stamina and hardly lost duel. Brazil played him the national team till he almost grew grey hairs, he was that good!

I would say start with Elneny-Partey. If we are in urgent need of goals, we can bring in Ceballos.
say yes
forum master baiter
AM: We need more creativity and to score more goals.
Also AM: Start Elneny over Ceballos.

What has Ceballos done to prove he is so creative? El Neny has been out performing him this season and I like Ceballos.

I don’t live in Iltown, not anymore anyway. That’s where I spent my formative years, splashing and blasting at the opp boys.

Yeah, go for the same level of midfield dominance and trust that the attack are continuing to improve. Imagine if Xhaka starts today by though...

After watching all the performances, if Xhaka starts again, I will start believing that black magic exists and Xhaka has hired someone to put a spell on all Arsenal managers.

I wonder if Ceballos-Partey-Elneny would be a good midfield. Think that might give our forwards more connectivity and build up in central areas.

Our lack of creativity isn't down to playing Elneny over Ceballos, it's down to having poor footballers in our attack.
People point to losing Santi to long term injuries as our decline in football, while that was one important factor...losing footballers like prime Özil and Sanchez higher up the pitch was equally, if not even more important.
We don't really have anyone who can do damage high up the pitch right now, bar a kid in Saka.

That's more negative than what we do currently as to play it you'd either have to sacrifice Saka or one of the front three. I don't see how Ceballos adds creativity, it just isn't his game at all.

I feel the same way. I like Ceballos but Elneny has been faultless so far.

I was thinking more in line where the midfield could form triangles, overloads and shuttle in central areas to take the ball to the forwards. That said I agree we won't get much direct creative influence and I would play Saka at left wing with Auba central and Pepe right wing.
But if we really wanna fly in attack though we gotta stop playing Laca central for Saka on the left with Auba and Pepe while Willian takes the AM spot. That with Elneny and Partey should give us a more simpler route to opening teams up imo.
WOW @BigPoppaPump speaking truth. I might have to start taking you more seriously.
You are right though Ceballos can do so much better. He has the talent but he's not showing it this season. Inconsistent.

Looking at you agreeing with me, how does it feel like being on the winning team for once in your life?
Unlike others i always try to remain objective and speak my truth. Some will agree others won't. It isn't even about right or wrong anyway.
In this case you just happen to be speaking a whole lot of sense. So good on you.

Before Partey and Gabriel the best thing about this team was it’s front line.
This forum has since been caught up in calling them all bad footballers as of late but I blame Arteta and his brand of brexit ball more than anything.
One of our best players isn’t even in the squad anymore, our most dangerous player is putting in tackles nowadays. Another one of our most dangerous players is being told every time he gets the ball he needs to make a difference and is currently riding bench.
They would all work under a different manager and different set up.
