Things might be pretty bad at Arsenal right now, but the one saving grace for supporters is that they have four exciting players on the cusp of a first-team return.
Those four players are Rob Holding, Hector Bellerin, Calum Chambers and summer signing Kieran Tierney.
The youthful quartet have got Arsenal fans feeling hopeful as they prepare for what could be a new-look back four.
However, not all supporters are convinced and judging by some of the reactions online, these Arsenal fans in particular aren’t sure if Unai Emery has it in him to make so many changes.

Read Arsenal verdict
It will be a big ask to expect Emery to make so many changes at once, even when all of these players are fully fit.
Not only is that a huge number of changes to make to one side, it would also leave the Arsenal boss with a completely new back four.
What is more likely is that Arsenal fans will see these players slowly reintroduced to the first-team squad one by one.
Tierney appears to be the most obvious player that could slot straight into the side to replace Sead Kolasinac at left-back, while Rob Holding impressed before his injury so could be given a chance to nail down a regular starting spot with both David Luiz and Sokratis failing to impress.
Making so many changes at once would represent a huge risk from Emery, but there’s no reason why any of the four shouldn’t be given a fair chance to win a place in the team once they’re up to speed.
