That's why people should stop over praising players so quickly. for games when we want to defend press and stay solid he so useful but when we want ti dominate attack create something he so useless.

The whole team was horrid yesterday, doesn't suddenly erase his good performances against Utd, Pool, etc.

Not even defending him, there's a million posts in here repeating "he's a good option, he's a good squaddie" etc. Don't think anybody said he is WC.

Not really, he deserved the praise he's been getting.

He wasn't playing poorly yday, he just kept to what was workable within the setup, which was boring and conservative but Saka and Partey left him isolated so many times in the 1st half he basically reverted to a makeshift 5th defender as they were doing a sh!t job, he also recycled the ball well (yes much of it was sideways but watch the highlights and see who was available to actually do much).

He is a big reason the scroeline was not much worse, some well blocked shots and and at least made the Villa players think/work to get past him.

Agree. I'm not calling awful but he been great since start of the season but i was seeing reports about giving him new contract because handful of good displays and that's wrong

He wasn't worse than any other player on the pitch against Villa. In my opinion he was one of the better players along with Gabriel. Everyone else was crap except for Partey who had to come off injured.

Even Saka was poor. The ENTIRE TEAM was poor.

He was absolutely awful today specially at 2nd half Douglas Luiz gave him so much problems. Wasn't a disaster but his worst game since start of the season

He wasn't absolutely awful. That is hyperbole. Those words are best left for Bellerin's performance.

Did you even see how many times Bellerin and Holding were out of position which meant Mo and Gabriel had to constantly cover them thus leaving more space for villa to run into?

Watch the match again and you will see the mess that was going on.

I don't mean he was fault of our lose but wasn't great display he lost many 50/50 gave ball away few times didn't help when Partey gone off too

Yes he did lose the balla few times and was not as effective as other games but the team on a whole was very wide open and lacked structure. That was the problem. El neny is not the kind of player who will excel in a chaotic game (That is more Guendouzi). You have to understand your opponents and the way the game is going.

First half the team was not good but we weren't trash. Second half after losing Partey the whole team turned into ice cream, soft.

Bad news now that he's going to be out of the Leeds game. They shift the ball pretty quickly and Mo's mobility was going to help against that.

Hope it doesn’t hit him hard.

But it’s not like we’re losing Gabriel or Auba here.

Hopefully Arteta has the balls to play Willock in place of Elneny. We need a player who will get forward and make things happen. We wont get that with Xhaka.
