ESR

[SP]

Hopefully he'll come back to haunt Arsenal on Saturday.

ESR has been dreadful in my opinion having a good work rate as a professional footballer should be a given. I was excited when we signed him but from what I have seen as a 10 he doesn't get on the half turn and drive at defences he pops the ball off backwards or sideways and he is never in the pocket of space. This summer is massive for him get a whole preseason in get his fitness levels up and hopefully he will have a renaissance like Wilson did this season 🤞.

As someone who pointed out there unfortunately is no "unlike" button, you can quite see that he is doing what Silva wants him to do, and that is consistent pressing, that is why he was playing so high up the pitch, he worked his socks off for the team.

So we paid 32 million for a player that can press high up and can't complete a 90 minutes 😂😂😂 and your telling me that is why Silva signed him

Who said he can't complete 90 minutes ?

You'd love him down at the Bus Stop.

In answer to the original question, AI says that ESR hasn't yet played a full 90 mins  (I'm not criticising him for that and agree that he was very good against Villa)     Also, Pereira played many full 90s for us.

It's a good question cos he was out on his feet at 70 minutes Saturday which surprised me. Yes, he'd been closing down and carrying out the high press v the Villa defenders especially in the first half, but... come on, the boy's 23 years old, he should be full of energy and chomping at the bit 🐴
Begs the question: is Emile still having fitness issues?
Having said all that, thought he was great on the day.
