I think Garth Crooks summed our midfield up, have a look at his team of the week piece. He is spot on.
When Ozil and Ramsey are dropped we have a midfield incapable of creating a thing. On Saturday we could barely keep the ball because we have a team composed of cloggers. Ozil did light up the place a couple of times, but when you are passing the ball to Iwobi, Elneny and Guendouzi there is only so much you can do.
The jury will be out for sometime on Emery, but I find the levels of praise and optimism laughable. Especially from the JCL bunch.
