No shame in having a bad game after such a busy run. Good reminder he's still only 18. Beauty of a cross though, instantly made up for the **** his replacement pulled.

That sort of hanging cross is almost a goal itself. Add the sort of run Eddie made and it's impossible to defend against. He makes it look easy as well.

Lad better get his sleep in because we are going to have to ride him for a while with Kola out and Tierney still not fit. Amazing that a club of Arsenal’s stature is wholly dependent on an 18 year old to hold down left back.

It’s definitely a big worry. Can’t keep playing Saka. Should maybe play Xhaka left back against Olympiacos.

AMN did a decent job at LB?

Also where is AMN? (seems weird he's not on sub bench when he can play so many positions.)


He has been on the bench but Arteta must have his reasons for not playing him.

Edit: not today, but he was on the bench previously even when Sokratis was RB.

Cedric deal is crucial now to give saka a break- good business after all (as long as he returns very soon)

Soares? He’s a right back. Second of all, he’s injured.
He has played on the left many times before, and will likely be back well before Kieran.

Also, Kieran hasnt played much football in the last 9-12 months and will be rusty, whereas Cedric has been playing all season

If Xhaka is all but playing LB with Saka in the team, I wonder if he can actually fill in for him there against olympiakos (with Dani and Lucas in the middle)?

Is that crazy? The kid obviously needs a break

Crosses are typically a low percentage route to scoring goals but good crossers of the ball like TAA make a mockery of those stats. Looking like Saka can do the same. :drool:

Also the whole LW/LB debate might not be a matter of talent, it’s going to be about which role utilises his strengths better.

Everybody wanted Klopp to move TAA into midfield but as we’ve seen that’s just based on old school thoughts of midfielders being more ‘glamorous’ than defenders. The fullbacks are the playmakers in Klopp’s system and it seems like the LB is the chief creator in ours.

I hope we see AMN at LB on Thursday

Gives saka a rest and gets Ainsley some minutes in a position he's good at

If he refuses to play there then you have to wonder if he's got a future at the club

Honestly think he has already refused to play in defense anymore. He was playing constantly then just vanished. Saka has the right attitude, just wants to play although he is younger. AMN will never be a top starting player at even our current level so it's either suck it up or play for a bottom half or Championship side.
