O habe never seen sloppier player. The guy kept misplacing passes as left back. Why anyone think he would be better as cm is beyond me. Dumb player

He's not and never will be a CM. Play him as a winger or sell.

Yeah not sold in him yet, didn't look any better than Elneny.

We need a commanding CDM, not sure if AMN will be that guy, in fact it looks doubtful so far, early to tell.

hes too weak, how can this kid ever be a commanding cm/cdm? Not sure why they ever moved him, his assets are pace and trickery...

Kept giving the ball away.

That's the last kind of player we need in midfield.

Another example of bad player development and management by Wenger.

He is a dumb player. Watch him at left. I mean its rare a left back misplaces a simple pass. But he was doing it 3-4 times

Hes fine for depth. We shouldn't have to be resorting to him for answers. We need a proper player there that isn't xhaka.

Niles is still very young and will still be making mistakes, he could come good. Again another one that should be on loan instead of playing when the pressure is on.

We played him today and won 3-0. Hes fine at this moment for games like today. Just because hes 20 and didn't set the world alight doesn't mean we should get rid. He should be on loan getting consistent games.

We shouldn't be picking between him or xhaka versus spurs or Liverpool or man city or A madrid.

It's pretty straight forward.

Wilshere and Niles in a double pivot is the way to go.

Very good talent. Don't write him off yet, he rarely got opportunities in his preferred cm Position.

Give the guy 5 games there and he will be twice the player of sideway pass El neny
