The soppy old french tit just wants out of the contest asap because he's acutely embarrassed to have anything to do with it. He's like a teenage girl forced to arrive at the prom in her dad's Austin Allegro*
*might have owned one once
I'm not sure Nelson is going to learn a ****ing thing being forced to play wing back, other than losing confidence every time he makes a **** up because the daft french **** is asking a creative player (who should be doing most of his work in the final third) to defend.
Ox and Gibbs leaving created this little predicament.
I guess he's hoping Maitland can do the job but he's far more effective in the middle.
I think it's time to introduce Debuchy back into the fold. A wing back role would play to his strengths as an attacking full back.
That should sort it's the right wing cover for Bellerin...not sure about the left as Monreal and Kolasinac look quite good.
Maybe if Holding can step after his early season dip we can have that cover down the left with Nacho and Kolasinac swapping.

It's not ideal...you would expect a squad of our size to have cover everywhere but it's the same team that played in a back 4 minus Ox, Gibbs and Gabriel
