I mean, he's back and running around right? that's something.
xPashun off the charts

I apologise for the last line, itās a little too far. The thread makes me angry and I have to admit I was drunk when I made the post.Hilarious that heās been struggling with persistent injury for 10 months and has no been forced to take the grave decision of having surgery isnāt it?
More than any other this thread makes me seethe, bunch of ****s here who should be ashamed of themselves honestly
Arteta wants to develop him as an 8 100%. Iām aware you have some questions about his capability here but thatās where all the treatment of him starting in summer and leading to his surgery points.Anyone a bit worried that some of the targets we've gone after would basically end him (Mudryk, Gakpo)? These are guys that really only play on the left and Smith Rowe is only really confident on the left. Seems to me like we need to make a big decision on Smith Rowe's future and ability and fitness here, if we decide to buy a winger, unless he is a right winger, his future at the club is basically over in any significant way.
I agree with that actually, I have less doubts about his ability there in this current set up, that LAM role working the channels is really ideal for him, though he needs to work on his passing and decision making and composure on the ball, Xhaka is miles ahead of him there.Arteta wants to develop him as an 8 100%.

We have to see how he recovers, we havenāt seen the proper esr since December when he was covering more distance and producing more sprints than Saka.
I believe in his ability still.
I think itās fair to say that his developmentās been pretty severely hampered by injuries so far. But that also means we probably havenāt seen the playerās ceiling yet. Heās had what amounts to one full season uninterrupted by injuries for the first team. He came in for Ćøde in a game a little while ago (canāt remember which) and it made me feel optimistic for him again for the first time in a long time. Tbh, his passing and decision making was a lot more crisp from that position than itās ever looked from left 8.I agree with that actually, I have less doubts about his ability there in this current set up, that LAM role working the channels is really ideal for him, though he needs to work on his passing and decision making and composure on the ball, Xhaka is miles ahead of him there.
But that means if we sign more than one CM (Thomas back-up) thereās also little room for him. Because Vieira will get more and more games there too, itās clear.
Basically only see room for one offensive signing and one 5 signed if ESR will have a future here.
Yeah, brilliantly said. He lacks a lot of maturity in his game which is normal for someone of his age who has barely played centrally in the entirety of his formation, but yeah, as you say his pass and move game is fantastic, his off the ball ability and sense for attacking spaces in the attacking phase is really top, and his dribbling is really quite good, as is his athleticism, don't think people really realise what an explosive athlete he is, which is why when he first debuted in the summer under Em*ry as a CM I started really drooling with De Bruyne comparisons.I think itās fair to say that his developmentās been pretty severely hampered by injuries so far.

I think his performance in that fateful game vs Brentford is very underrated and worth remembering. When on form, his passing on the move and in a ten yard radius has always been very accurate, itās actually rare to find a player who can find short options as crisp as some of those in the Brentford game and the 4-0 vs West Brom for example (Xhaka has been quite weak at this in his career but really improved in recent times). ESRās passing weakness come into the picture when it comes time to get set and find a crisp medium-to long-option. This also gets exposed when he manages to find an angle and time with his considerable dribbling talents as heās consequently unable to perform the more difficult task of moving from the fast short staccato game to recognising heās now earnt himself time and subsequently choosing and executing a really key pass.
But heās physically gifted, has dribbling ability, an excellent short game, and he has excellent instincts when it comes to attacking space and arriving to score.
He was eating goldfish crackers in Germany as well:
All you couch nutritionists, donāt worry about what he eats. He runs that stuff off.
We need him back as soon as possible. Heād make a big difference in our title challenge.

LW was never his place other than some rotational thing when needed. He lost his place due to a lack of progress.Eating like a depressed man, who knows Martinelli has taken his place...shame.
Still need him back in the squad soon though!
