Arsenal vs Fulham: 5 key players in massive bounceback

3. Sead Kolasinac

For his own sake as much as ours, we need to see Sead Kolasinac back out there in his more useful role as a wingback. I’m not over-exaggerating when I say that Kolasinac, as a wingback, is worth building a strategy around. What he is able to do from that role goes beyond what anyone else on this club can do with their respective roles.

He makes the left side of the pitch look like the only arena that matters, and he completely owns it, turning the corner around the defense and sending workable balls sizzling along the ground towards a box full of runners.

In a world where you can’t count on your attacking midfield for chance creation, you have to go with the next best thing, which happens to be the Bosnian. Although, I would argue that he might be a better thing, and not just the “next best” thing.

Plus, for the sake of seeing him back in his top form after a couple of disappointing matches, let’s get him into the left wingback role opposite a speedy and capable Maitland-Niles and let our wingbacks carry us to glory.

On to No. 2.
