With another interlull underway, let’s take a quick look at how the players have been faring this season so far.
If you missed the goalkeepers’ review, you can read that here. For now, let’s do the defenders…
2. Sead Kolasinac 5.5
Although he’s suffered an injury this season, when he has taken to the pitch Sead Kolasinac has largely been disappointing.
His arrival at the club last summer really seemed to kick Nacho Monreal up a level and Kola hasn’t been able to cope or offer anything that makes you think he deserves to be in the side ahead of his more senior colleague.
He’s packed full of heart but that’s not all you need to make it at a club like Arsenal and I feel if we are genuinely harbouring ideas of a better future then we should be demanding a higher calibre of player back there.
