Hector Bellerin: The B's Knee

[Mark Tobias]

I barely ever post about Hector and his Biceps

Weird thing is, in most other threads you speak absolute sense. The you come in here and all logic goes out the window as your stroke yourself to your idol.
The irony is, not just the other week you were saying how people should be objective and have a long look at themselves...

Sounds like Hector himself...

Agree, Hector is all the things I said. Glad you agree.

I am objective. Hector is world class on the pitch, off the pitch and in the sack. What's not to like about the guy?

Name me two better rightbacks than him in the PL

Walker, Azpilicueta, Trippier, Alexander-Arnold. Aurier and Danilo both were better during their past peaks. Moses when employed as a rightback or right wingback. Zappacosta was mostly ****e for Chelsea, but at least the same level in Italy.

And just like that all credibility you had was obliterated.

Funny, but I heard that in the sack he’s not big on protection and frequently in the wrong position.

And who wants to be wooed with a cucumber salad?

If you’d left out the word salad, there might have been a few hands up.

The last 2 games bellerin has started have been his best defensive performances in an arsenal shirt. It helps massively torriea covers his position when he goes forward, and when back in rb he has looked a much better player.

Made a big difference yesterday watching Torreira covering that position. It’s what we’ve needed.

Who would've thought giving him help would get the best out of him?

I'm not a big fan of Bellerin but he had a top performance against Watford. Long may it continue.

Me? There are multiple post from me trying to analyzing his game in the ocean of other posters spamming about his fashion and hairstyle trends.

Bellerin didn't really do anything positive though did he? I mean just because Bellerin didn't get torn to shreds defensively for a change we automatically view it as him having a good game. That's just how poor Bellerin has been for us the past 3 seasons. It just shows how much the better the likes of Lichtsteiner, Nacho and Kola are as we judge them by a higher standard.

He's on the right path, that's all. Compare his performance yesterday to the ones at the start of the season and you see that he's becoming more solid defensively. Still has a long way to go.

Wasn't it intentional to use our fullback to provide width?
So why flame Bellerin when he's doing that now, and with cover from Guendouzi/Torreira??

That’s why Bellerin was so good in 2015/16. Mertersaker looked after him and was a guiding influence.

Mustafi has a job looking after his own stuff.

He's been great this season, he consistently creates at least one high quality chance every match, even though they don't necessarily come to fruition. Even in this match he had the cross which Auba fluffed and resulted in the Xhaka shot. And its interesting to see how his crosses are curling back in, he's learned how to swing his boot properly over the summer. I'd put Bellerin, Xhaka and Iwobi under the most improved category.

Its not even help really, he's vital to provide us width in the final third but obviously can't be in two positions at the same time. When he goes ahead someone has to fill his side. Or you know you can just instruct him to play it conservative like Sagna and be renowned for your defensive prowess without contributing anything in attack. In fact, because of his speed, he comes closest to the requirement of covering both attack and defense.

This guy gets through an incredible amount of work. Not many as good as him going forward and doing the work at the back as well. Still feel he gets beaten too easily in 1 on 1's & lets his opponents get crosses in too often but he's basically a one man show out there on the right, marauding up and down for 90 mins. The dude has a great engine on him.

Probably gets way too much stick. Glad we have solid back-up in Lichsteiner. He's doing well to keep the old pro on the bench.
