RE: Is it too soon to say we're back? I'm getting excited.
They were all chilling I guess. I think the laziness started from Wenger's latter stages and continued to Unai. Arteta is doing a good job in cleaning out the cobwebs.
Thanks for the spot there. Kolarov is a very good leftback though, is he still playing international football?
he is. was a captain in this last few matches. but he is a bit lazy at times, think that was one of the reasons pep sold him. Ivanovic was a workhorse.
Yeah and I think age is also getting to him. He was regularly racking assists for Roma last or was it two seasons ago, guess he didn't take that form to the National team.
Branislav was a monster on his day, I reckon he's still a force to be reckoned with now, though I suspect he would be a lot slower.
Kolarov has it strengths but a lot of running was never one of them :D great pass, crazy shot power, really good in crosses, but not that keen to rusch back to the defense :D
So he's basically a winger 😄. I always wonder about that aspect of wingbacks/fullbacks. Do we need more attack or defence?
Like at Arsenal for example, Saka has been doing wonders in attack but always struggles with basic defensive duties. If we were playing like Liverpool and opponents hardly ever touch the ball, will we even need someone who defends?
Arteta found one useful place for Xhaka, and it is covering the space that Saka leaves when he is up front :)
True and it is very effective.
