Mind you, we dominated Madrid with him being 'quiet' over the two legs
Arteta should have hooked him much earlier. Perhaps the Captain tag affords him privilege. Stripping the armband may cause further damage to his already fragile confidence. Either way, there?s a dilemma coming up next season with Nwaneri now targeting his shirt. There?s no way he?s usurping Saka, and with the arrival of Zubimendi for Partey, which seems on the cards, plus a new CF and Bambi on Ice, looking to get back in, our young, talented Nog really needs to up his game.
