Why persist with Elneny, Maitland Niles and Kolsaianec in the back 3
Thought Per was just a one off performance if the cup final and not to be relied upon for 38 games.
Can't just keep it simple...has to always try and be fkin clever about. You can't do that for some positions
Fkin Elneny
Just because there are two other centre halves doesn't mean you can take the p iss
"Real game". What is the point of these games if not to give players who won't get many chances to see if they can fit in the team and do something? Chambers? Holding maybe?
Instead we play Elneny, who is on his way out, out of position and we play guys like Ospina (instead of Emiliano) who hasn't gone because he can't get an offer. What on earth is the point?
It's not just the Emirates...it's been the entire team pre season.
Would have like a bit more commitment to the back 3 after it served it so well in the last few games last season.
Not having a recognised defence for the first game last season came back to haunt us and I hope we're not doing it again
