Firstly, you need to relax. You're coming across a little DT right now. We're not arguing bro.

Secondly, AMN was back in his preferred position after how long? Surely he deserves a couple more chances in these low level games? I think he's earned it after nearly two seasons as a utility player.

I don't think he played badly last night, he wasn't the only player that gave the ball away. He and Bellerin seemed to be on different wavelengths, but shouldn't they both take the blame for that?

Comparing him to Xhaka is way off. Xhaka has consistently been trash for more than a whole season, in his preferred position. My guess is AMN won't make it, but I haven't seen him in training, or even in his preferred position more than last night and one other game. No reason why he can't prove us wrong. Shit performances out of position for more than a year will take it out of you.

Pretty much. I don't think anyone had a particularly bad performance last night. It's not as if AMN contributed nothing either. Played a good ball to Martinelli that set up the chip that lead to the Ceballos goal. He still has a lot of work to do but the same was said about Nelson last week, Chambers was written off totally as an option for any position but look how opinions change after a good performance or two. It's on AMN to sort his game because there is competition for places but I don't get the venom behind some of the criticism.

On the same flank? Guess they're both rusty.

Its time to try him out as a CM in the Europa or just sell him in Jan.

Not good enough at RB or RM or RW, hit and miss at RWB but mostly miss, if we have no use for him and hes gonna cost us games i'd rather play someone who can put in a shift, i heard Osei-Tutu made headlines in Germany last week now they are finally playing him, he'll do for 3rd choice RB.

Bellerin is not good enough to play there.

AMN needs to play somewhere in the middle, he isn't Arsenal quality but if you are going to play him pick his correct position at least.



................. well, that didn't go so well now did it, as I forecasted.

Don't worry, you weren't as gung ho on him as lets say Power n Glory a few pages back but still, its time to give it up.

CM no, RB no, RW no ...... back to CM, gives away a goal first chance he gets.

Jenkinson had more stock with me than this guy, he needs to be sold or given away like a Happy Meal freebie.

Like i said in the match thread he's done as an Arsenal player, his final lifeline is when Mustafi leaves and Luiz drops down a level Chambers will be used at Center back a lot more and maybe in other DM positions in certain games so backup RB maybe available.

Apart from that, just sell him.

He'll be easy to sell. Young, English and not on too much money

Let's hope your right, he is no good for us, he just seems lost and doesn't know what to do.

Can be a devastating right winger. Let’s bring in a RB and free him to play on the right wing in attack. He’s a great athlete and has a good attacking brain. Just not able to defend.

Can’t be mad at him. He doesn’t pick himself and he is simply not a serious player.
