Great point made by a few people on here which I hadn't thought about- why didn't Kiwior play CByesterday and Timber at RB? Bizarre team selection.

Hi glen hope alls well. and yes mate. it’s a good shout by you and others. I posted on here a couple of weeks ago saying sometimes Mikel try’s to be too cute with his selections. trying to fit square pegs in round holes, and round pegs in square holes and it just not working and being detrimental to the cause at times, just get back to basics. yesterday was an example of this kiwior could have played central defence with gabi, zini or kT slot in at left back and timber on the right. partey tries his best but he is definitely nowhere near as good played at right back. not really his as not his natural position. he totally switched off for a split second yesterday and it was 2 massive points dropped at home. if partey had been played in his natural position yesterday alongside rice and ode we may not have conceded either of them goals to villa. but we will never know now…the thing I am sure of is we still need a striker because we are still creating chances we should be putting away. but who is really gettable in this window…? … realistically who can we get this window because we need someone. ?⚪️❤️.

He’s does make some weird decisions making defence and midfield weaker by playing people out of position without actually learning…, looks strange from the outside and raises questions about him that aren’t necessary.

Great point. He does love over thinking things.

I might be wrong but i don't think either gab or Kiwor like to play right sided CB, they are both very left footed.

I’m sure Partey isn’t a right back, doesn’t think like a right back nor enjoys playing right back plus isn’t mobile enough to play right back. Worst choice out of a bad bunch of options. Despite Fulback being the bosses preferred signing over a striker… a CB should be able to play either side for the odd game. Despite all our defensive signings - we lack quality in cover which is on Arteta also.

I think the lack quality in cover comment is a bit unfair, We have White, tommy and califori all out, who could have all played at RB or CB very comfortably and would have been close to our first choice.

I agree Partey is not a RB and other than the odd game has never really looked comfortable there, and i agree a CB should be able to player either side, my comment might have not been valid, it was just a thought as i have never seen either play on that side of the central defence.

We are down to our 4/ 5 choice at RB if timber has to play CB, not many teams will have great cover at that level. we have the best defence in the league for the last few seasons, the club and arteta have done very well in that department since Arteta took over.
