What the hell is the point of playing Bellerin as a wingback when he doesn't actually defend? He can run a hundred meters when attacking, but doesn't give a shite about defending these days. Mark Albrighton has all the space in the world to run in behind, because Bellerin would rather loft in shitty crosses.

This game is incredible.

Am I wrong about Bellerin? I feel like Arsenal fans overrate him based on his pace and skill on the ball (and his hilarious Cockney Spanish accent), but I feel like in this his third full season, he seems like a minus defender.

Also, I can't figure out if Elneny is a useful squad player, or a liability.

I mean our positioning around the field is terrible. Bellerin starts out way too high. El Neny always tries to complete triangles leaving his midfield partner isolated.

As long as our positioning is this consistently bad as it has been since 2012, we are going to have good players looking terrible. Bellerin's starting position shouldn't be more than ten yards from Holding. El Neny should be used to create space for Ozil by drawing midfield defenders away from Ozil, offering both a decoy and an outlet for pressure.
