Matic isn't finished. Kante is being played in his position and he is lost playing higher up the pitch.

Difficult to pick a MOTM out, I gave it to Theo because of how impressed I was with his work rate and aggression. Glorious to watch how he muscled everybody's darling Matic off the ball

Mustafi was our best player. He was an absolute monster throughout.
the fact that we can take one of 5 players who were valid MOTM candidates says something...
Great Team performance. I don't understand the need to pick out an individual as MoTM all the time.
I thought we no longer had player threads...?
Anyway i was wondering how do we line up when we need to rest Iwobi? All of a sudden, he has become an important player for us, and i mean more than just his individual performance.

we no longer have permanent player threads so when Lex is less flavour of the month and the thread drops down we don't suddenly raise the thread from the dead next summer. So for example Theo's had like 20 threads or something.
We have player threads as long as they are current and specific to a topic. This one relates to his emergence, if there's one about his new contract or something then you start a new one. In any case, leave the moderating to us.

Yup got it. 😆
I honestly guessed most of them. Especially the who's always late, who scores the most worldlies (guessed Giroud), and the king of nutmegs.
Would have thought the player who least gives the ball away would be Ozil though.
Sanchez was most likely to be late in Beller's interview and most likely to be early in Iwobi's.
That interview was really good. Seems from before the start of the season though as he mentions Arteta twice.
As well as Iwobi has done recently, I still think Ramsey will take his place soon as he's fit again.
I hope he manages to bounce back successfully from the Burnley match. He was really poor and its important that a young player manages to come back from it.

Until Ramsey play with more intelligence than instinct, he will not dislodge Iwobi from the team

He wasn't that bad. Don't see any reason for concern. Just one game too.
He wasn't particularly bad at all, just was clear he was running out of ideas.
Both Ramsey and Iwobi are good players with completely different attributes so i could say Ramsey would have been more effective in the Burnley game without that being a slight on Iwobi who was a much better fit against chelsea.
