Riccardo Calafiori (33)

Seems to be out of favour since the injury. I happen to think we lose a lot in attack with him out too as he has the ability to not only drive with the ball but look for dangerous passes and also take shots.

Hincapie has filled in fine but I’m surprised Arteta has tried to lean back on him a bit when we look a little flat

Yeah I don’t think he’s being mentioned enough in our attacking game. He was probably our most unpredictable attacking threat and constantly causing opponents trouble.

Hincapie has done well no doubt so there’s no reason to knock him individually, but of our 3 main LB options he’s the one I least like to see in the team.

Arteta always loses patience with injury prone players in the end. I think there’s a bit of that going on with Calafiori at the moment.

Would like to see him and possibly benny White start at the weekend

Cala is my personal first choice, but I’d rather see Hincapie play there than Lewis Skelly.

ok

Expect Calafiori to start against Everton.

Or Myles, yeah Miles should start tbh.

No you’re right, Hincapie will start. Until he’s dead.

Paging @RockyMaivia - can you have a word with your guy please? No one is taking our Italian Stallion…especially not Chelsea!

Classic Arteta.

That block was insane.

Big man crush!

I’d give Calafiori the edge overall but today both him and Hincapie were great.

We’re really blessed at LB currently.

I thought he was excellent today. The block off the line was unreal. I still rate Hincapie highly. I’m not sure who I prefer out of the two of them, but what a great dilemma to have!
