You only have to look at Everton to see that it is not always just a change of players that is needed.
We still have some decent players. However, I have been going on about the need to purchase a couple of CB's, a couple of DM players and to clear out the dross.
To go:
Goal: Ospina
Def: Debuchy, Chambers, Jenkinson and Mertesacker (at the end of the season) .
Mid: Coquelin, Elneny and Cazorla (unfortunately due to injury)
Att: Campbell, Perez, Akpom and Walcott (I believe he may be going in January as Wenger isn't even playing him anymore) .

The frightening thing is that Ozil and Sanchez look like they are going and Wenger appears to be doing his best to allow Wilshere to go as well, despite him being our best player yesterday.

That is 8 players currently in our squad, plus those on loan, that will or should be going. We therefore need to try and bring in at least 2 or 3 in the January window. There are some youngsters coming through and 3 or so signings are needed in the summer window. Will Wenger do this? Not a chance.

I just hope that all the 'movement' in the backroom is due to the likely-hood of Wenger going and Ancelotti coming in. Last night's team selection simply baffled me, as we needed to win the match and then worry about Saturday, so why leave Kolasinac and Lacazette on the bench and change formation.
