If he can sort his game out in the final third he'll be awesome .
getting him away from that right wing will help - but there's not a lot to sort

Agreed, he suffered after the loanees came in last January.

The time i really woke up to his talent was in the Arsenal game that we lost last season - he went on a mazy run that had the likes of Rice and co floundering in his wake.

The goal against Citeh last season where he started in his own half was also class.

But for all the mazy runs he also does lose the ball pretty cheaply at times also - which he needs to cut out.

i think Emery gives him  (and probably no one else  license to lose the ball) such devastation he can cause.

That Arsenal game was his best game of the season, he was so dominant against such a good and powerful team.

He does lose the ball a fair bit in the middle of the pitch, which can cause the opposition to be straight onto us, but I think it’s risk or reward with him.

I prefer him on the left drifting in personally.

Take the risk out of his runs and you lose the player he is.

I think because of the jeopardy with him losing the ball I like him on the left from deeper than the right.

I would also add that I don't think he was managed well post Feb last season. He was clearly knackered and needed the odd game out the team, which we could have coped with, but Emery played him into the ground. Very few things I will be critical of Unai for, but for me we should have given him some time out the side.

There were also occasions that you could see he was totally spent but was left on the pitch which detracted from the team’s performance.

it's his final ball and execution which needs the work

Consistency I would agree. There were some games last season where his final ball was truly terrible, but then he'd pop up with a goal and assist in the next. Adds consistency to his all round game though, we're fending off well over £100m for him.
