Come on bro, Arteta's getting stick because there's been zero improvement. Unai was 8th when he was sacked, Arteta finished 8th, then finished 8th again.

Well Kola did get "best lb in the league" shouts here for months, so that's quite a lot to live up to.
Maybe
You're wrong, no?
Such a shame he's not a RB. First time I've seen him and looks better than Tierney. Not sure how happy he will be as a backup for an inferior player

Looks more like a wingback than a leftback to me. I doubt he is defensively strong enough to play in a back four

Why can't he be right footed

I'll have to say, I'm not convinced at all by him defensively. Despite good recovery speed, he looks too languid (for lack of a better term) when facing a defender one on one. Sticks his foot out rather than taking sharp steps.
Offensively he looked like he has something to offer. Decent technique. That cross to Auba was very good. I still need to be convinced, but he's still young, impressive physically, and has lots of room to develop.

Love his touch, was able to take balls at pace and control with one touch. Hard to know what his actual defending is like though.

Gives me slight Santos vibes. Good going forward, suspect at the back. Hope I’m wrong.

Any examples of that or you are just making stuff up? I didn't see any issues with him at the back

Just a hunch. Still early days.
Got to say. His first touch is very good.

He will never displace Tierney though.
I like him. I think he's a bit raw defensively but honestly that's the one area I feel that Arteta actually somewhat excels in as a coach.
I feel quite comfortable resting Tierney for him when necessary. And given he has played quite a bit of football at RB, could try him out there too.

I think he would make quite the devastating wing back.

Agree with most posts here. He looks like pure offense. Still happy with the selection.
Glad he had good game because he was horrible against Millwall few days ago. Good pace and can be very good offensive but defensively it will need to improve specially positioning i think his major issue
Country: England
He's actually very two footed.Why can't he be right footed
Offensively he's already streets ahead of Tierney from the little I have seen, it's no secret I've never rated Tierney in this regard. I think question marks defensively are reasonable reservations to have, Tierney is still the man overall.
Tierney LCB and Tavares wingback wouldn't be a disaster if we ever had to resort to 3 at the back again.
