Cristhian Mosquera: Backline Makeover

[Yousif Arsenal]

They didn't have a choice; if they didn't call him up, he would have gone to the World Cup with Colombia.

Yeah i was wondering about even though I never heard about him want to play for Colombia

 

[Taylor Gang Gunners]

Fully deserved. Regardless of the reasons for his call up. Such a talented young defender, I love that Barca fans are still fuming they didn’t get him

Tbf he was a really obvious solution.

****ing shocking this last game. Really really poor. Nothing else to say. Him, Ben White, Jesus, and MLS (at times, he had some good moments as well) were actively throwing away the game, throughout the whoooole game. Stewart or whatever his name is gave him fits all game long. Tbf, Stewart was also troubling Gabi

 

[Clrnc]

I am quite shocked how poor he looked since the start of the year. It has largely gone unnoticed as he redeemed himself with his pace and last minute tackles to prevent goals but he has made at least 4 or 5 direct errors to led to a clear chance by the opponent.

It happens with young defenders in their first season, hopefully he kicks on the 2nd year.

Unless all of Timber's Bible study sees him ready for Sunday, we have to start this young man. He's our best shot at not getting done down the right side again. Saliba can't wrestle Haaland and cover for White for another 90 minutes if we're going to get anything out of the match.

 

[Mitch]

Very good and solid performance from last night.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Extremely promising first season with new team in new league he still have areas to improve but he have potential to be world class.

 

[ksarp]

Agreed. I think if Timber is not fit, he starts on Sunday.

 

[Zaza]

Tough game today. We need Timber back as soon as possible!

 

[Entropics]

We were always going to suffer eventually from having all these "versatile" cbs roleplaying as fullbacks. He's lucky Doku is like their Madueke.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Did all he could against really good team cant fault the performance that booking stopped him from trying to tackle specially if you watch again 2nd goal he dropped and dropped didn't want to commit

 

[Batman]

Did his best and actually got better on the yellow. I can't fault him. Timber and Saka missing doomed us.

 

[Tourbillion]

I rate him highly but only as a CB.

It was still the right call to play him at RB today given how pathetic White has been.

 

[MutableEarth]

Looked every inch a stiff CB today

 

[Rasmi]

Looked every inch a stiff CB today

Almost like you can’t turn every CB to a fullback

 

[Barry]

Big role for Mosquera now by the look of it in our run in. Not ideal timing given how White/Saka were starting to click again. Hopefully they can figure out a way to make it work...

I think @Rex Caudillo said this already, but maybe it's time to start both Eze/Ødegaard as attacking 8's to try and get some width and creativity back for the next match. Or at least as an option if we're not ahead at half time

 

[BBF]

Selected for the world cup

Where did you see that? I hope so, he deserves it

Where did you see that? I hope so, he deserves it

My bad, fake but I hope he's selected.

 

[BBF]

My bad, fake but I hope he's selected.

No worries lad. You're probably early
