THe left back has done well as a wing back but even Wenger has been reluctant to field him as a left back. When he has, he hasn't performed brilliantly. Maitland-Niles, a right footed midfielder, came on and looked better than him last night.

Chambers and Ospina are, I assume, not on the table for debate.

I think you know when I referred to midfield that I wasnt talking about Ozil et al. I have in fact been ridiculed for saying that Wilshere is miles better than our other central midfielders. That said, Ramsey is a useless ****.
Hmmm, other than one or two moments I thought Chambers played quite well, it brought back memories of his first season with us when he looked like a good player. Kolasinac is never going to be Baresi defensively but goodness me some of his touches going forward were a joy to watch. And I can't remember muttering 'useless Welsh tw@t' once the entire game. Quite remarkable.

Even Xhaka seemed to be in the right position more often than not. In fact, other than Welbeck being utterly dire for the first 40 minutes or so, I don't think anyone played badly that I recall.

It was almost like not watching Arsenal.
