Fullbacks

RB. Arsenal. AINSLEY MAITLAND-NILES. 6.7. Almost <em>too</em> relaxed at times. Not sure he is really getting along with this rightback position. Definitely has the tools to make it work, and those tools shine at times, but overall, just looked a but lacking. Maybe it’s the injury, lingering around, perhaps just to the point of him lacking confidence, but I’d like to see more from him.

9.1. <strong>Man of the Match</strong>. This man is inhuman. Literally. He’s unstoppable. He never quits on any play. Just when you think you’re alone and isolated, Kolasinac pops up on your shoulder for whatever you need him to do, whether that be take the ball further than you could take it, or bear hug Ashley Barnes. He’s everywhere. He was yet again our best attacking threat, even with Ozil out there on the pitch, and he finally got a well-deserved assist, with more to come as long as he keeps finding his way into the starting XI. It’s hard to play without him, honestly. He just brings so much.. LB. Arsenal. SEAD KOLASINAC
