He has really developed nicely in that position. He doesn't offer all that much going forward but he really locked it down in defence.

He is under strict instructions to not overlap. So how is he meant to contribute going forward as a fullback? By passing. Who is he passing to? Players who can't make the ball stick to save their life.

Is he? Interesting tactic. One I like though, considering the risk and reward over the course of a season.

Interesting comments from Arteta which may indicate that he sees AMN future away from our defence.

He has become one of my favourite players since Arteta has come in. I think he is crucial to the way Arteta wants us to play and him and Pepe on the right is great!
'Central midfielders' can only refer to AMN. Interesting what happens when Bellerin is fit. Will he move him inside? I hope so.

it would be great to have a central midfielder with some pace for a change! He would need to work on his passing though
Maybe
You're wrong, no?
Depends what do you mean by being fit. Is it enough for him to be able to complete the training session and 90min game or do we expect him to regain the pace that he lost and improve his passing/first touch that's completely gone off. I think Bellerin is nowhere near of a level required for our first team

So are we all agreed that AMN is one of the best players in the world now?

Yes and maybe try Mustafi as #10.
AMN played RM better than RB.

Will be interesting how he will perform in midfield under Arteta later. Probably will play as RB until Bellerin is 100% fit again.
Could imagine we are trying to loan a RB from somewhere.
We desperately need RB more than LB. Niles looking good defensively but offensively he offer really none

AMN is clearly a right-sided box-to-box midfielder so Arteta's system instructing him to cut in has a positive impact on him when he plays RB. It's closer to what he actually is.
The problem for AMN is that he just doesn't have the quality actually be used as a right-sided box-to-box midfielder in our team. He's either going to stay as a versatile squaddie, or explore his opportunities at somewhere like Southampton or Newcastle.

Before arteta I was desperate for this lad to be dropped, now I feel its harsh that he has been, really hope the gaffer finds a way to get him plenty of playing time still, he hasnt put a foot wrong since the change of manager

Hector has been great in his two games back. Unlucky for Ains.

Great to see mikel willing to give him a go in the midfield (albeit only for a few minutes).
If this season is a write off (which I dont think it is yet) then this is the season to give him plenty of time there to see if he can cut it there

Now that Bellerin is back, I hope he gets given a chance in midfield here and there. Lad deserves it.
I commend him for his commitment and mental strength to stick at it and give it his all in rb, he was getting a bit of stick at one point iirc.
