fab is not a defensive player to begin with. cant expect him to defend and flying into tackle as what matic did. he did ok in maintaining the shape of our defense.

dunno if it just me, but kante form is definitely below par for last couple of matches. vs tottenham bullied by dembele and wanyama. luckily got matic covering his ass. last night losing possession few times. but improve compare to tottenham game.

my conclusion,
matic - kante: both can go for box to box role.
cesc - kante, cesc - matic: matic and kante play traditional DM role.

Noticed that too. His passing also a bit off, 1st half keep mispassing or pass intercepted.

If paired with cesc, need protect cesc. If with matic, he can harass opponent to win the ball when matic back. Then stay back when matic go forward

Ya. Need to be more traditional if pair with cesc or Oscar. Both cesc or Oscar also not good at tackling. Especially Oscar. Almost every tackle he made result in yellow card.

Last night chalobah cameo quite good. Disposses opponent few times.

I feel like we can sell Oscar this coming window or next next window. Oscar feel like jack of all trade but master of none. Better find someone tougher and keep fab as creative player.

Kenedy I think is coming back, probably can play him at LWB to compete with alonso, but both not defensive enough

Kennedy can be a good competition for Alonso. Iinm, he play as LB at times last season.

Conte said Oscar going nowhere. Small chance for him to go. No improvement from him since Mata departure. Shoulve sell him last Jan when some china club want him.

Knock-knock on Arsenal's door. We want blood

Wow... great spirit from Bournemouth

Ake nailed it

Istanbuled.

Opps... some team drop points
Nice weekend

Ake keep on improving. Suddenly we got two very good competition for lwb. Reaction of a striker from him.
