Bellerin is just a shit defender. Possibly the worst RB in the league at defending. Period.
It's not because of Emery's tactics, not because of Emery's playstyle, not because he commits to attack, and not because there is no cover.
Monreal does the same yet our left didn't seem so exposed when West Ham attacked that flank. People say Mkhi did not protect Bellerin, Iwobi and Auba didn't do that all that much either on the left.
He can't even defend when its 1 v 1 - gets burned almost every time, his positioning is shit, has literally no awareness, does risky square passes in his own half and loves to put his teammates under pressure by passing to them when it is clear they are man marked.
It is no coincidence teams are targeting our right flank game in game out and we concede from that side almost every time.
Lichtsteiner as RB and Bellerin as RW could work.
Bellerin now reminds me of Armand Traore. Can attack with pace but can't freaking defend to save his life.
I really don't know what happened here. He was an exceptional, explosive, talented all round RB when he first burst on to the scene in 14/15 and had another stellar year in the 15/16 season. After that, it was all downhill from there.
after the return he was never the same again. read about him saying he has trauma going into challenge
just like chambers, was amazing when he first started. then jefferson montero happened
