Gave him 30min hoping for some line-breaking passes and try to nick one. Granted it didn't work out...If he was saving dani for benfica why bring him on?

Think there's a correlation between starting Elneny and Arteta being a football terrorist, but if I speak I am in big trouble.Disgusting Islamophobia in this thread.

well people who watch the reserves says Azeez is lazy and lack the defensive work rate. Last type of midfielder you want against City. El nenny did ok yesterday. When you get beat by a header from Sterling in the 1st minute between your CBs, then the blame should go to the defence,I’d sell him for a packet of quavers if I could.
Absolutely pointless footballer. Only reason to start him is if all our other CMs are injured. And even then the minutes would be much better used developing someone like Azeez.
Arteta's terrorizing people with his football though. Sadly, it's chiefly Arsenal fansThink there's a correlation between starting Elneny and Arteta being a football terrorist, but if I speak I am in big trouble.
Yes, and when you create the square root of **** all because your midfielder gets a heart attack if he passes 5 m forward, then you blame the midfieldwell people who watch the reserves says Azeez is lazy and lack the defensive work rate.

El nenny rarely plays and we are sh1t anyway. The whole team and manager are sh1tYes, and when you create the square root of **** all because your midfielder gets a heart attack if he passes 5 m forward, then you blame the midfield
True, but that doesn't mean Elneny isn't ****.El nenny rarely plays and we are sh1t anyway. The whole team and manager are sh1t
Not sure why people are expecting him to be the creative force in the midfield. He's a holding midfielder, not a creator. That's Xhaka's job. His job is to carry out defensive duties and play it simple. This is why I keep saying to people the midfield balance isn't right. We had no link between midfield and attack and it showed yesterday. City just crowded out our main creative force Ødegaard therefore nullyfying any threat through the middle. This is why most of our threats came down the wings. We have too many deep lying midfield players in our squad IMO. This is why Elneny and Xhaka looks so average. If Xhaka or Elneny had Gundogan and Bernardo Silva either side of them you will see how much better they would look...
If I go there and give my all, is that enough? There should be standards for basic requirements, some people will get there at 70% of their capacity like Partey, and some give their all like Mo and it still not enough.Tbh Mo gives everything he has on the pitch. He is not good enough as a starter but as a backup he is absolutely fine. He was our MOTM in the Away game against Man United for the short memories
He has his limitations but I really don’t get the vitriol directed his way. Blame Arteta for his poor squad planning. Mo gives it his all and that’s all I want to see.

I won't go into a debate around the first goal, but Mo simply doesn't win the ball for us, and that's an issue for someone who plays his role.
He does run, although not with great intensity, he is not a physical rock in our midfield who would bully other players, he is not creative, not winning headers and pretty much everything he does is average or below.
I get the idea that Partey was off for so long, but I'd rather see some younger player like Azeez next season with us than this waste of space, at least for a squad role
