What do Arsenal really need?

In a season that contained so much optimism for Arsenal, in both the Premier League and the FA Cup, the verdict looks as it will end very similar to those of previous seasons, the north London side fall at the final hurdle. Struggling behind Leicester City and Tottenham Hotspur in the league, defeated by Watford in their favourite competition and an impending embarrassment at the hands of Barcelona, it’s all gone downhill.

Many questions have been raised about what is going on inside the club. Is it down to the manager? Is it down to the board? Or is it down to the players lacking self-belief? But the real question people should be asking is, how can it be solved?

Let’s take a look at each position in the squad, from goalkeeper to left back, left back to centre forward, and identify where needs strengthening, who can do the job and why.
