If he stays fit, I see him and Eze creating something special down the left side. With Rice holding things down and giving these two the freedom to tear it up.

Big if, but I agree. Could be the start of something special attack wise. I do think Cala is still a bit of a defensive liability, and Eze isn't exactly strong defensive cover on the wing so huge watch out there.

Every time I see his thread bumped I fear it's an injury...please stay fit Cala.

Back of the shirt name worthy

It's interesting how much Arteta has doubled down on this libero LB role. Even Myles is taking up the same positions at CM hovering around the centre circle.

Again, it's a shame we can't have both on the pitch at the same time, such a joy watching them both.

How can a LB bring so much chaos to a game of football. Love it. If he stays fit he has cult hero written all over him. This is the kind of guy that will score last min winners at Anfield/Stamford Bridge.

Gurgen

Not many full backs are playmakers and consistent goal threats for 90 minutes. This guy is a like player from the 1974 Dutch team

USArsenal

He needs to stay fit. Thats first. He does have that ability to gallop forward with the ball very well. He did it yesterday (but played a poor pass out wide to Madueke). But if he can do that kind of shit regularly, we will create some great chances.

Imagine him and Rice being able to gallop forward with the ball at any given time. That's chaos for the other teams.

Qwiss

I want to know which Italian lunatic told this guy he should be a centre half?

QuincyAbeyie

Serie A fans laughed at the idea that this guy wasn't bought as a CB.

Klaus

He was an incredible centreback in Italy to be fair. He was considered to be equal to Bastoni - and Bastoni's considered the best defensive talent they've unearthed since Chiellini. I think the lad's just blessed. God gave with both hands.

Klaus God gave with both hands

And took away his ligaments.

Klaus

Mirth Had to balance the scales somehow to not offend the other mortals.

lorddulaarsenal

I love how he just rocks up to games and says “Don’t worry, I got the left side covered”

FEBravo

Really impressed with him today. His usual chaos bringing self going forward but pretty much locked down Salah. Kudos

Klaus

Like watching Maldini.

JazzG

A fair few were moaning about him and his fee but fuck me he is so good.

Mirth

IIRC the moaning was because he was perceived to be injury prone. But, frankly, for this level of talent you take a gamble.

Klaus

Mirth What's maddening is that he's arguably the second best Italian centreback at the moment too, and probably would have been the best if he'd kept playing there. Supreme talent.
