Hector Bellerin: The B's Knee

[nicky47]

He's back to his best! Keep it up Hector!

 

[Ariz™]

We've got so many great players that are being undermined by the poor ones, really annoys me, that.

He is also handsome. Fashion icon!

bloody hell. Hope that's sarcasm?

 

[MutableEarth]

Quietly putting together some very decent performances.

 

[Mitch]

Bellerin was struggling badly in the first half but played very well in the second half.

If only Xhaka was the reason for that penalty...imagine what would happen

I didnt watch the game, dont have much time to focus on Arsenal lately, only watched the highlights. Ill watch it later.

He put good performance unlucky with penalty and finally get a hair cut.

 

[CurryFlavoured]

He's a good player but a weak defender one v one. He was outmuscled easily and allowed crosses down his channel too often.

 

[Macho]

Yeah..has been the same way since his youth days tbh doubt it will ever change.

He’s good going forward that’s how he became first choice anyways.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

He was excellent up until the dubious penalty decision.

 

[Mitch]

Vast majority of Watford's attack came down Bellerin's flank where he was caught out of position on numerous occasions. Watford knew that Bellerin is our weak link and they looked to exploit it.

We were open on the right side because that is what happen when you are attacking side with 5 defenders and the attack can't force the play. Bellerin was our best player in the first half.

 

[Nemetoss]

He's **** at defending one vs one and it's far too easy to put in a cross when facing him. Most of the attacks in the game came from the right, most of their chances came from crosses which he was unable to block. He was decent going forward but he needs to be tidy and smart while defending, until then he's a bit of a liability.

However dubious that penalty was, Hector himself complained to the ref that their player wasn't really going anywhere, why, then I ask, did he need to touch him at all. All he needed to do was to either see the ball out or block in a potential low cross. He did neither and gave their guy a chance to mug the ref. He ****s up basic decision making. I like Hector and really want him to succeed, but he really needs to iron out these stupid inefficiencies.

 

[tcahill]

I thought he was excellent in the first half, and pretty decent in the second. Firstly he is playing as a wing back, not a pure RB, so some of that wide defensive responsibility is shared with Kos. Secondly nearly every one of their offensive moves was through that c**t playing left wing, and I only saw him beat Hector once in a situation that wasn't a 2v1.

Defending isn't Bellerin's strong point but he normally holds his own pretty well.

 

[Taylor Gang Gunners]

People are acting like Richarlison destroyed Bellerin, what game were they watching? Hector was solid (as he has been all season) and was bang unlucky with the 'penalty' he gave away.

 

[MutableEarth]

Bellerin's 1v1 defending really isn't as bad as people are saying it is, this is a complete myth. He had a relatively solid game IMO, until the penalty. Should have just shepherded him.

I actually thought he had a stronger game than Kolasinac yesterday.

You mean like Xhaka was standing still for their goal??? I moved closer to the attacker in that set of play than he did.

Bellerin's been playing well recently, gradually improving again. Kolasinac I thought was off colour for the game so far, maybe he was carrying the injury a bit, if so hopefully he wont play EL.
