He does 1 phenominally good thing a game were you think fucking hell. His tracking back was very poor last night though, Foden snd Cancelo/Zinchenko were doubling up on Cash all game.

If there's areas to his game that need improvement, I've got faith that our people will make him a better player. It's been quite the opposite in the past. Yes, but if 'Arsenal Core' said have said it three times then it can't be denied that he isn't much cop.

Same happened with Anwar and Trez for a good while and they have only this season developed that part of their game.

We've got a particular way we play, seemingly one which requires players to have both their attacking and defensive heads on at all times pretty much across the board. They might look on paper to be, say, a winger - but in reality they're 60% winger, 40% fullback and they're expected to flip between one mode and the other at the drop of a hat.Taking a wild stab, perhaps that's why Elmo's preferred over Freddy at RB? Elmo's just better and switching from defence to attack and back again, whereas Freddy is struggling with that a bit.Think Bertie will come good given time. It's his first season, and he's not had much of a preseason to get himself in the right frame of mind
I suspect that Traore is being told not to get bogged down in defensive work by the coaching staff so that we have a threat on the break, similarly to what we know they've told Grealish.

The other wide player or the 10 tries to stay a bit further up field for the counter-attack so we usually have someone near to Watkins when we break.
It worked to an extent both on wednesday and at Wembley. The tactic of giving up the spaces wide left and right for foden and Stirling to dance around a bit but ultimately produce bugger all. Both games were lost due to incompetent officials not our tactics.

I wonder why opponents seem to target our right-side defence?Quote from: TelfordVilla on January 22, 2021, 04:54:34 PMIt worked to an extent both on wednesday and at Wembley.
