Ainsley Maitland-Niles: Yutility

[Wizzard]

What a lad. Couple of weeks ago, there was an interview with him, Chambers and Iwobi. They were asked if they would take a Penalty, and AMN said he would a 100% Chip it into the middle of the net, and that's exactly what he did today.

 

[Arsenio Venger]

He’s also a bird catcher

 

[MutableEarth]

Cool as ice. Was quite laidback when he came on again, lost way too many duels the short time he was on. On the ball he was good though, played some beautiful subtle passes and 1-2s.

I would like the boy to get a little bit angry and play with the sort of intensity that you see from the Uruguay players. He seems to think life is too easy. A bit like progba.

Now you mention it, I remember that interview. He actually did it. It's no important match, but doing it as a youngster, with a new coach you have to impress and a lot of people watching. Balls.

I remember being critical of his complacency at times earlier last season, but after seeing him play for a year, in hindsight it's pure confidence.

It's a natural part of his game - being able to turn on the intensity when he needs to but playing with calmness otherwise. It means he can play with a clear head when the game is frantic - that's something we'll likely need.

[Tir Na Nog]

He's the type of guy you'd love to have as your friend. Laid back, doesn't take things to seriously, is a bit of a joker but a good heart too.

 

[Impact]

His future is in the middle of the park but if he wants it, there is a starting place available for him at left-back this season. Kolašinac does not look up to it quite frankly and Monreal showed signs of ageing last season.

 

[JimmyTheMac]

I'd like to see AMN potentially groomed as a left back. The position is up for grabs, especially once Monreal moves on or is too old. He has a lot of the attributes Ashley Cole had, especially the technical ability, originally being deployed in a more advanced position, and pace. He just needs some improvement defensively and to add that tenaciousness that Ashley had.

kid could end up being great at quiet few positions, but I think its CM (especially in 3 man mid) where he sees him. with that explosiveness and tricky feet he could be devastating.

Then he should be played as a winger, wing back or striker.

 

[Taurus]

I think he deserves a starting line up in a position he prefers next season. We need to trust our best prospects and give them a chance otherwise we will regret it.

 

[Big Poppa]

Sarcasm I assume?

 

[The_Playmaker]

He will break into the team this season. Probably the only thing in I'm sure of.

 

[krackpot]

Any news of his injury?

I Hope to God that it is a minor one.

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

Have a swift recovery AMN.

 

[Sapient Hawk]

He needs to recover well sharpish. Need him back at LB so Lichsteiner can replace Bellerin at RB.

The lack of news on his injury is worrying, *usually* the club give an update quickly when it's not a serious one.

He's probably ruptured something, the speed and angle which that beaky prick Walker hit him at didn't look too good.
