He is a liability defensively. Let him expresses himself... Far away from our box.
Was hopeful for him in pre-season but it's the same old mistakes. Does something good but then just doesn't know when to release the ball.
Hate to say it, but just don't see him making it here. Still looks like he makes the wrong choices, and his first touch was poor yesterday. Maybe his
injuries have really stunted his development, but it's hard to see him fulfilling his potential.
As previously mentioned, that should be the last chance saloon for him this season. Since his current contract ends in 2018, a decision has to be
made either way. Agree with you though, I am less and less convinced he will make it. His decision making is simply maddening.
He lacks the game intelligence to know where to be when he doesn't have the ball. Its very clear when you compare his runs to Walcott, Özil and Sanchez
who all made some excellent runs today. His combination play is also poor, and his touch erratic at times. I'm fine with him as 2nd or 3rd choice, but its
clear that he needs games somewhere.
This was Ox from last season. Largely anonymous with sprinkles of ineffective play. He shines in preseason because he can show off to Akpom, Adelaide
and Willock. But when he's around Özil, Sanchez, Cazorla and co. he doesn't have it. He doesn't know what to do. One more season of nothing performances
He needs more a brain than a new manager..... Sometimes, players are just not bright and whoever the manager is, it will not change much.
and we'll just have to accept that this is his level.
I have to admit whenever I've watched Arsenal games I have made similar observations on his game,but what I find truly disconcerting is that we're willing to lay out 30 million on a player who is on the treatment table more than Sturridge
Chamberlain fancies himself as the next Steven Gerrard when he cant even get into Arsenal's starting XI as a wide player! I'd rather give Leipzig the £70m for Keita than pay £30m for him.
