Looking very very average on the ball. Not sure if it’s due to his mindset or if he doesn’t have the ability.

Give it 6-12 months and it will be a big criticism of his game.

Plays like a cb in that position, not good enough going forward at all from what I've seen and you'd hope for much more than that from a fullback.. I'm holding back for now, but I don't see how this is the solution to the rb position if this is what we can expect.

He's a good defensive RB, but the issue is none of our fullbacks are great at attacking...but the real issue is Arteta focuses on attacking from the fullback areas despite not having the players for it (Tierney should be our defensive FB, and we should have bought a better player on the ball for RB)

How did Arteta even pass his coaching course anyway...some sort of "collect 5 stickers in 5 different cereal boxes" type of deal?

Think he’s been bought as a RB who plays CB when we are in possession. Very specific signing, could easily become someone we need to sell if a new manager comes in and wants a traditional RB.

He miss hit a lot of basic passes today. Did the defensive stuff ok, but yeah, hopefully just a bad day at the office

Defensively quite good again offensively nothing much I'm not surprised he looked really tired at 2nd half 180 minutes for Japan and long travels in between and played important games in asian qualifiers.

But i admire his workrate he kept going

He's following in Sensei Arteta's footsteps, tbh...win player/manager of the month, then immediately **** the bed the next month.

I think he might have potential as a cb, hard to say much about him until I've seen more of him, but yeah the role he's meant to play seems very specific so could end up being surplus.

Why so serieuse?
Limited offensively, Arteta needs to use our offensive players to take up the slack, but he can't, so here we are.

Won't be long before his honeymoon with the fans is over.

This guy isn't explosive or nimble enough. Should replace ****e at centre back.

His strengths and skill set is suitable as a centre back rather than at right back (at this level anyway).

Playing in Italy may have masked his lack of quality on the ball. He is however a strong, astute defender and has the traits to become a quality centre half. Can pass wel off both feet with time and I’ve not seen him lose a duel aerially .

He is our best defender currently. He is doing what we need him to do. I am surprised this thread is asking him to shoulder the offensive burden. We have attacking players, correct?

Focus on the person responsible for the dismal attacking strategy the last two years.
