    We did get that corner decision against the shit.

    But yeah, more luck than just that works be nice.

    Also, Mikel needs to stop playing Partey at right back. He’s inconsistent enough at defensive mid. At fullback he doesn’t have the pace to recover from the mistakes he makes.

        to those of y’all downvoting me, when’s the last time he’s had a good game defensively? last time he’s been consistently decent at playing football was before we signed Rice, and he’s also got allegations of horrible shit. Even if you wanna ignore the allegations and assume innocence, he’s still shit at football.

          You won’t get an argument from me from a moral perspective. But who else do we play at right back? Kiwior is in terrible form and our bench is barren.

            I’d give Kiwior another chance at CB, can’t be much worse than Partey has been, honestly; or Tierney at CB if push comes to shove but that’s very much a last ditch option.

              Right now Arteta is doing the FM thing of “no he doesn’t play there but we need to get him in the team somehow”. I don’t want to see Tierney at anything but LB and I don’t want to see Kiwior at all right now, man has had a nightmare of a season.
