We have four senior attacking players available, one of those is Ramsey. Not exactly a shock.he has a point.
We are playing five at the back against Fullham at home.

He would've played against Fulham at home if he was fit.Either Özil is being frozen out by the manager, or he has actually had all of these reported minor injuries. Almost doesn't actually matter which one is the truth, in both cases we're not getting value for money.
how much of a crisis can potencially erupt if we lose this game?
Plus our 3 center backs can all use valuable game time, I agree with you.It might seem annoying but when you think about it, there's not many other options unless you want to throw Saka in there. If Özil was still interested in playing for Arsenal we could've played 4-2-3-1 but outside of that, Emery's hands are tied due to injuries and the imbalanced squad he inherited.
He should just play Saka then. Why have him in the squad just to be fodder? Is his name Elneny?It might seem annoying but when you think about it, there's not many other options unless you want to throw Saka in there.

Haha that showed me. I'm seeing things in my rage.
It's really a shame that Smith-Rowe is injured, Emery has name dropped him several times this season and I think he'd be getting serious PL minutes if he was available.He should just play Saka then. Why have him in the squad just to be fodder? Is his name Elneny?
Glad Maitland is playing , be good to see him develop .
Kolasinac has definitely shown his capabilities in attacking, but I don't see a change in his game when we are playing 4 at the back compared to when we play 5. Xhaka-Guendouzi, I agree that they are not defensive midfielders per definition, but they are not exactly attacking-minded either. Two holding midfielders who are good at the same things - circulating the ball and playing an occasional through ball.Guendouzi is mos def not a DM
Xhaka is critiqued for not being one by most here.. Kola to is critiqued for being not so great defensivly (i disagree but that is another debate...)
So 352 or whatever with 3 at the back is not inherently defensive!
Mmmm hate to say it but he will never fully develop playing left back, right back, CM and right wing. Needs a run of games in the same position.Glad Maitland is playing , be good to see him develop .
Kimmich and Roberto disagreeMmmm hate to say it but he will never fully develop playing left back, right back, CM and right wing. Needs a run of games in the same position.
I hate to be Micheal Owen but we cannot afford to drop points
