        Yeah, I’ve been in that camp if I’m honest. Mostly his defending not being as good as others in the squad and his injury record for us. But what he brings in experience and skill in other areas I’m sure most teams in the PL would die for.

        I still want him in the team, I still think he’s invaluable and still has a part to play.

          I think he’s our best leftback overall, just that defence can be concerning when coming up against like, Salah type just best in the world wingers lol. He’s good, just not amazing at defending, but everything else easily makes up for it, other than injury proneness but that’s just part and parcel of being an Arsenal fullback not named White.

        Yeah. I think starting Kiwi for the defensive stability was good, but it obviously didn’t pan out and it seems the midfield presence is going to be much more important at the moment.
