I am interested to know who people think have been our 5 best peforming players this season and why?
Forgot Bellerin! Been out too longXhaka, Auba, Sokratis, Bellerin, Laca.
For me its:
1. Sokratis - Our most consistent player this season. I was one of the few that was over the moon when we first signed him and glad he has won doubters over. Mr consistent has proven to be a bargain.
2. Kolasinac - Really is turning in a world class left back and it's between him amd Robertson for best LB in the league this season. A creative driving force going foward down the flank. I believe he is much better detter defensively than some posters on here make out. Certainly when it comes to positional awarness, might be our best FB out our 4 when it comes to that with Nachos decline.
3. Torreira - Our best player in the first part of the season once he established himself into the first 11. Torreira would have been higher if it wasn't for his recent dip in form. An excellent well rounded midfielder (technical, smart player, gritty and hard working).
4. Laccazette - High work rate, with very good link up and hold up play. 11 goals and 5 assists in 19 starts is decent numbers too.
5. PEA - Very effiecent infront goal, currently joint 3rd highest goal scorer in the league. I know people might find it unusual not to have our top goal scorer higher but he has gone missing in a number of matches.
A honourable mention to Xhaka whom after a poor start to this season really has upped his form a lot and has been one of our better players.
