i like him. he has good feet and pace so if you're on that side of the pitch as the oppo he must be annoying, you cannot forget about him. he has his weaknesses (defensive positioning) but i think he deserves the slot at the mo

like teh fact that when he is high up the pitch he doesn't automatically think "how can i get rid of this as quicly as possible", the kind of "hot potatoe" play we are so used to.

From what I've seen so far he is nowhere near Danny Mac at defending. Going forward much better but just seems very lucky at times. Sort of bundles through players and the ball falls straight to his feet again. Still very young so needs time and games.
Be interesting to see if DanMac gets a chance to impress Edwards.
Edwards has stressed the importance of players being versatile in the squad.
Other than Right back, where can DanMac play? He struggles at RWB, which is just slightly forward to where his natural position is now with more of an attacking responsibility and somewhat less of a defending one.
Can't see him at CB or Left Back. I also think from a defending point of view, I see a lot of people back him as a better defender than BNC... I've never seen a professional player bodied/barged off the ball with such ease, as DanMac does and especially for a defender.
No hate, more interest/concern.
I hope he proves me wrong and gives Edwards something to think about.

Good luck with that. Arsenal have a good player in the making there. Good attitude as well.

He is a key player for us. Strong, quick, athletic, great first touch, drives us forward with the ball, always looking to attack. No doubt he is better going forward than defensively but that in itself poses a problem for the opposition. It's symptomatic of the approach that the new Head Coach is implementing.

I know from your posts you are very articulate. But fuck me did you just swallow a thesaurus
Is a thesaurus a book about dinosaurs?

Rather him on our side than the opposition. His first thought is go forward, doubtful but love to sign him

So you think of the predictable thing he might do then prepare for the un-predictable things. Mind you if he knows that he might do the predictable thing which is now un-predictable.

Results in a free kick or pen, he’s earned plenty already usually in dangerous areas. Mr go forwardSo you think of the predictable thing he might do then prepare for the un-predictable things. Mind you if he knows that he might do the predictable thing which is now un-predictable.
