The game against Watford today did not really tell us anything that we did not already know and that is that quite a few Arsenal players are simply not good enough to play for the club.
If you give an honest assessment of the players that started the game today you have to admit that there is some serious deadwood there and I am talking about over the last 12 months, not just this season.
This was the starting line-up today
Leno
Ainsley Maitland-Niles
Sokratis
Luiz
Kolasinac
Xhaka
Guendouzi
Ceballos
Ozil
Aubameyang
Pepe.
Now, I would suggest that the following five players from that starting eleven are not up to what should be considered Arsenal standard.
Ainsley Maitland-Niles
Sokratis
Luiz
Kolasinac
Xhaka
Now ask yourselves this, would any of those players get into any of the other top-six sides?
In my opinion, not one of them would, I mean, Luiz was rejected by Chelsea and they are a team that cannot buy any new players, in fact, they probably cannot believe their luck that someone would actually pay money for a player that is such a shocking liability.
It is a harsh and brutal truth that the Arsenal squad is seriously lacking in quality depth and it can be argued that Mesut Ozil could easily join those five in not being good enough.
When a team like Watford can literally overrun you time and time again then you just know there are some serious issues with the side and if the team that Unai Emery put out today is really the best that Arsenal has got right now, then it is going to be a very long and disappointing season.
