Hie gunners and Ed's. Any idea why Kolasinac has been dropped to the bench in favour of Maitland-Niles. I personally see Kola being a better player. How Wenger doesn't see this I wonder. I hope we win 2 - 1 tonight.
Merry Christmas to you all!

I hope we don't look back on this as another wenger clanger. Maitland Niles is a future player and not at left back. Kolasinac the best right back in the german league last year and not getting a game mmmm. Only wenger knows why we have two left backs in the squad and neither at left back.

I was wondering the same.
Maybe Wenger is going to try and outgun Liverpool with more emphasis on attack than defence.
{Ed025's Note - or maybe hes just a pot herb...time will tell i suppose dags..

Left back, not right.

I think you could be correct Ed.

The only reason I can think of for why AMN started ahead of Kolasinac is that he probably has more pace and better acceleration (Kolasinac is a big guy) to better deal with Salahs speed. Saying that, I think he had an excellent game.
{Ed025's Note - he did really well CB..

Why didn't we buy usain bolt to play left back then, instead of a recognised international left back.
