If Wenger sells Gibbs, Oxlade and Mustafi, as well as having sold Gabriel and fails to bring in further defensive signings, we will be left with the following:
RB: Bellerin
LB: Monreal and Kolasinac
CB: Koscielny, Mertesacker and Chambers (who he hasn't played and we were willing to sell)
That is 6 defenders for 5 defensive positions, excluding any inexperienced youngsters. I have excluded Debuchy and although I have included Chambers, it is with strong reservations as I don't believe he is good enough.
Bearing in mind the defence is the foundations of a successful team, this makes absolutely no sense, never mind playing LB's at CB and a RB at LB.
Wenger has clearly lost the plot, unless a RB and a couple of CB's are on the way, which I very much doubt.

Quod left out Holding but to be fair - he needs Per next to him to lead the back 3 as Kos is not a leader. Chambers doesn't have the trust of Wenger - a real mess.

I actually rate your defenders mate.

Gk: Cech and Ospina.
Rb: Bellerin and Chambers.
CB: Mustafi, Koscielny, Mertesacker and Holding.
Lb: Kolasinac and Monreal.

As a back 4 i think you have at least as good as anyone else in the league. No idea why Mustafi is being pushed out. You cannot give a player the boot after one season. Unless he wants to leave in which case Mertesacker was MOTM in the FA cup final.

Your midfield makes your defence look bad. Wijnaldum took Ramsey and Xhaka out of the game with a basic feint or shoulder drop every single time leaving your back 3 against Liverpool's front 6 every time. Their hands were tied in my opinion, and Wenger was the one who tied the knot.

RB we are in a mess and to most it's pretty obvious.

Sorry Mk u rate there defenders?
Why exactly?
Bellerin cares more about his hair than conceding goals. Monreal is slow and gets caught, Kos although a decent defender needs a top CB next him and the others are young and don't look nothing special.
Koslinic looks a red card waiting to happen. Seems great to me.
