interesting piece about Bong with a bit about ARJ
You can see from the little that he has played that he is still working on a relationship with the others around him, one thing we know about him is that he will be working hard in the training ground to work on this. I would like to see him move into a more central position where he can influence the game more as he is such a clever player.
Hopefully he starts some games and gets more game time to help with his confidence.
Patience my young grasshoppers.
Wait until after the Asian Cup (mid point) to really see where ARJ is at. He did well today, nothing too flashy but covered well and distributed well.
It seems like a lot of the people complaining about his performance don't play (or even watch) football on the regular.
Your expectations have to be near 0 for a 15 min sub. That is simply not long enough to grow into the game. Once in a while someone will perform a miracle and there are 2-3 players in the EPL who have a better average of making a difference in the last 15 min (e.g. Giroud). Other than that, it is basically a hail Mary.
Despite all of this I think JB did well. He was marginally offside for one call and mistimed a dribble or two, but he hustled a lot, was involved in one of the dangerous plays and contributed defensively. He also would have had a nice one-two if his clueless team mate did not turn and pass sideways.
I'd be curious to see how BHA plays with Knockaert and Alireza playing at the same time. Meaning one of them would have to play on the left, but its a interesting setup to me.
March seems to start games hot, but teeters off in the second half.
Playing knockeart on the left and Alireza on the right would mean a lot more quality delivery for Murray in my opinion. They could occasionally swap wings with each other if they want to be more direct too. Once Izquierdo is fit, I think it’ll be him and Alireza as practically fixed starters as by then there’d be no excuse to keep him benched.

If AJ can play left side, I think he would be dangerous with Knock on the right (or vice versa).
