Ainsley Maitland-Niles

This is better for him to build properly.

Wenger would often take juniors and make them fill in out of position, that does not help their careers quite frankly, it makes them utility players and not a specialist in a position that suits them.

if AMN is to be a CM then he needs to play and grow in that position, not fill in as a LB because Wenger was too tight to get a balanced squad.

Worse than that I think it can kill their confidence!

I know our kids are shot but wow, didn't realise it was this bad

I did.

I said it last season, AMN is supposed to be a CM, what does that say if no manager will pay him there and only use him as an emergency Full back?

Wasn't impressed with Nketiah either.

His worst first team game in an Arsenal shirt tonight. Wank

[Santi]

Absolutely awful, worst player ahead of Monreal and xhaka

[Nuggets]

I don't want to see him play again if possible, he was rubbish and has been for a while, another one to let go.

He had a very good game last week v quarabag last week and a good game at vorskla

Imagine hating a homegrown youngster that just came back from a 3 month long injury for playing bad in one game.
Remember Ainsley was our best player against United and Watford last season.

I like Ains but his recent performances haven’t been good enough. I expect some rustiness after his injury but he seems overly negative - always looks for the safe option, seems reluctant to take on his man. Hopefully after a few games he’ll get back to his best

[gooney]

never rated him. I have said several times. He is the sloppiest player I have seen play for Arsenal. When he was left back I said I have never seen a defender misplace as many passes as he has in my life. No future here

[LegendaryKeown]

Guy has an absolutely garbage way of trapping the ball. Him in midfield will be the biggest disaster class since Wenger though Rambo could play DM

[Sims]

that leg break looks to have slowed him down massively

maybe its a confidence thing
