Move MLS into the 8 and push Declan back to LB.
Has looked off the pace in preseason so far. Hoping he doesnāt go through a second season syndrome.
Didnāt think he looked off the pace at all today, in fact was his commited composed usual self for the majority of the time he was out there
He looked lost every time Spurs put a ball in and lost the ball cheaply a few times.
Offensively heās looked nonexistent too. Those crosses need work.
Zinchenko has actually looked better so far in preseason.
Young kid in his first full pre-season with the first team. No concern about him in the slightest.
Looked quality last preseason as well and then for whatever reason Arteta barely used him during the season
He loses possession too often and while last season was good, I hope we donāt rely on him as much as we did last season
Yeah, he did. I remember wanting him to start the season. Not sure if his fitness issues still persist but I think he shouldāve played more.
I was disappointed when he didnāt get a run in midfield when we had all those absentees.
Given Calafiori is made of glass itās hard to see how we donāt, unless Zinny suddenly regains the spot
Between White, Timber, MLS, Calafiori; I hope more minutes are played by Timber & White
Those two are more reliable and consistent
Honestly, as things stand if fit I hope our backline for OT is White-Saliba-Gabriel-Timber.
Heāll learn from today. Kudus did him
Over but it happens.
Skellys kryptonite
Nothingās really going for him in preseason. Too many unusually bad passes and touches from him and heās really struggled defensively.
Itās unfortunate Timberās been out for so long because Iād opt for him at OT at LB.
Arteta is changing his role a fair bit and it seems like a lot to throw at him. He was dropping between Kiwior and Saliba in possession at times and bring the ball forward from there.
I think weāre actually experimenting with a number of different things like that which are smaller tweaks but still probably a lot to deal with for a kid who is still very young. We also have different build up structures for when Zubimendi and Norgaard are playing.
What Iām not seeing from him is impact in the final third and thatās where I really think his game can go up a level. He had some great moments last year but we really need the LB to be more consistently impactful because its designed to be a bit of a wild card, playmaking role.
Give it to him
You know in advance who is gonna get it, might as well not bother creating a list.
Why bother, we all know Yamal is getting it.
