If Dier wasn't capable at playing DM. I'm assuming Spurs would still find a way of getting him in their defence. I would suggest he's a better full back than Walker and Rose
Rose for sure, Rose can't defend to save his life. He'd be more assured than Walker defensively but I think he might offer somewhat less going forward.
I think Dier will get a long run at DM. Deli Ali is looking absolute tits, very excited about him. Son is such a pro, solid. Njie, only 15 minutes but seemed ok. Eriksen is going to be a huge boost but I have been impressed with Mason in his absence.
I'm surprised we didn't try and sign Deli Ali when he became available. It was at the time when we were targeting any young English talent. From what I've seen, he's going to be some talent
Very flashy player, plenty of flair and pace. The main issue with him right now is that he holds on to the ball too long and misses opportunities to play his teammates in. No doubt this is something he will get better with experience though.
Solid win against Palace. Fuck Cabaye's shot that hit the post was pure but I think we deserved all 3 points. Son is so good, does seem to shoot alot, not quite Townsend shoot alot but he tries his luck a bit. Two clean sheets in a row, defense seems to be improved. Gooners this week COYS!
Impressed with the clean sheet considering Palace's attacking threats up front. Son was by far the best player on the park, seems a good buy. Just wonder where he'll fit in once Eriksen is back?
Lamela would make way for Eriksen from the last lineup most likely. Shift Son out to the right, Eriksen as the #10.
Yeah Lamela for me also, 3rd season now and still looks outa place to me. Eriksen behind Kane all day, even Mason looks better than Lamela behind Kane.The clean sheets are largely due to having Hugo between the posts but Jan and Toby look rock solid..
No sour grapes but kinda glad we are not going to have to worry about the capital one cup now, we have such a thin squad at the present. Even game today and Flamini's second goal was a decent winner. Fazio can fuck right off, really terrible defender. Kane's volley was top draw but he can't buy one at the moment.
