Perfect line-up? 4 Gunners who’ve won all of 5 games when started together this season

As Arsenal will face a complicated task of trying to overcome a 3-1 deficit against Rennes at Emirates on Thursday within the Europa League Round of 16 after a disastrous first leg clash in France, Unai Emery is definitely going to have a good thing over his starting line-up and gameplan.

However, the ideal combination of the players might be closer than the Spaniard thinks. As it stands, Aaron Ramsey, Mesut Ozil, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette have started just five games together this season so far. Arsenal won all of them, much to the amazing quartet’s credit.

With the lads, the north Londoners came out on top at Cardiff (3-2), at Newcastle (2-1) and achieved two consecutive 2-0 home victories against Everton and Watford, with all of the aforementioned triumphs dating back to September 2018. Six months later, Emery returned to the undefeated formation – it resulted in another 2-0 home win, this time, against Manchester United.

In case you consider it a coincidence, some facts might prove you wrong. In those five matches, Arsenal scored 11 goals. The fantastic four scored a combined tally of 7, with the German playmaker and the French striker contributing two each, as well as the Gabonese attacker converting the rest three.

They put a stat up earlier which didn’t surprise me. 5 times this season Aubameyang, Lacazette, Ramsey and Ozil have started a match together. How many times have they won? All 5. If he’s that poor then how’s that stat possible? The Arsenal team needs to be built around him.— Andy spaughton (@gunnerandys) March 11, 2019

Furthermore, the deadly quartet also managed to provide five assists, with three going to Lacazette’s name and two added up by the Welsh midfielder, who, sadly, would no longer be part of Arsenal Football Club next summer.
