He completely **** on Ceballos and Xhaka in that department. Lack of pace/an engine doesn’t cut it in the PL currently unfortunately.

Actually, I think African players get lots of love, but probably underrated because he is Arab

Elnenny is kind of a weird player. It almost feels like he plays to the level of his partner. He's never been a guy who you really worry will screw things up just kind of underwhelming but next to Partey he gets a chance to really let his best attributes shine.

Couldn't believe what I was watching. Busquets-esque.
You gotta give credit to mikel too nobody of us wanted him anywhere near to starting line up.

Gilberto used to get all kinds of stick. I think it is partly the position and role that some fans simply don't get.

I see people still conflating pre loan and post loan Elneny in their assessments, saying he’s basic etc. Throw it in the bin.
No he’s not suddenly Xavi but what’s been clear since the Community Shield is that he’s returned a completely different player. He played even better against Fulham and was our driving force in the turnaround v Sheffield Utd. This isn’t new.
His passing has a cutting edge now and he’s a guy who is clearly motivated to prove himself. Kudos.

What did people use to say about Gilberto? I wasn't around for his playing days but I've always assumed he was appreciated

2005 season yes. He got injured halfway through the invincibles season, Edu came in and took the midfield to another level aesthetically. I was bummed we couldn’t sort his contract out.
The loan at Besiktas was good for him he was not playing here even tho Turkish league is not the best but he needed play time to get back to his days when he first joined us.
Still Allah save him from own goal today.

Really enjoyed watching him today. For me, he's Parteys main CM partner until further notice. Honestly gonna have to have a total rethink on him lately. He's really stepping up.
Country: Norway
Quite a few fans complained he offered nothing going forward. The invisible wall mocked as the invisible man. That betrayed a lack of understanding of his role in my opinion.
Player:Saliba
El-Neny hadls always had mostly mental limitations. He's always had totally reliable technique, a great engine, accurate short and medium passing, positional awareness.
You never worry if he has the ball, he's not going to lose it or do a silly compromising pass.
If Arteta has given him/or he's developed himself the belief to break the mental limitations and be more progressive he can be a really good player

Having competition in midfield always help xhaka since joining had it easy there was no player forcing the manager to leave him out the same can be said with Ceballos let's see how they'll respond after Elneny performance today.

League is very weak
It’s all Mikel and team set up/role. He’s the same player now that he’s always been.

The more I see Thomas play the more I'm convinced he's not a traditional DM. Like Kovacic or Frenkie de Jong; he's best when he has a partner that allows him to express himself on the pitch. He also takes a lot of risks!
Elneny complements Partey really well. I don't know how Xhaka/Ceballos and Partey would work in a midfield 2.

What if all these years we've been trying to find a partner for Xhaka, we should have been doing it for Elneny instead?

Arteta "Has he upped the tempo?"
Wenger "Yes ElNeny is now an accelerator of the game "

Ermmmmm I just checked the map Egypt is northeast Africa. As for "arab" u mean Middle East? Middle East is part of Asia....Sorry i seemed like a Geography-nazi, but somehow i just cant stand it when people just stereotype middle east as "Arab". If you said he is underrated because he speaks arabic then maybe i can accept it.
