Might explain some of his struggles this season
More like Walcott cannot link up with Bellerin. Walcott always let Bellein bomb forward while he plays passively which is the reason why Arsenal got exposed at the back so many times.Pulis did his homework. He knew Bellerin likes to bomb forward and he made sure Stoke attacked the space left behind whenever they can. Bellerin seems to have got that disease that promising young Arsenal players seem to get, the "Oh, I've made it now, I can play anywhere I want". I mean what is he doing in central midfield sometimes????
Getting worried we lose this lad. 6 months ago I laughed at the headlines. Now it seems a far greater possibility.
he cant even defend to save his life, he keeps running ahead of walcott because theo cant beat a man with the ball at his feet. if we had a decent right back bellerin would have been a decent right winger to have. Everton did it with seamus coleman for about 2 seasons.Would he earn 115,000 pw at Barca though?
He needs to work on his crossing & positioning and be a more rounded player before he takes a step up, IMO.
Such poor squad structuring to basically give him a position with no competition. Reduces his incentive to improve.
Same can be said about the left back position imo. The fact that Gibbs has gotten some minutes at LB this season tells more about the season Monreal is having than about Gibbs putting up a decent challenge.
Shouldn't have signed a six year deal if he wanted to run home the bellend.
If you need competition on ur position to give your best then you got a problem.
