Need to stop this sentimentality crap with Digne and start to play this guy. Maatsen is clearly the better player. That pace is just golden in the prem. His passing is also crisp as hell That’s extremely harsh - you might have a point, but let’s be fair Digne has more than proved himself at this level - I am happy to have either of them start. i think we should just thank our lucky stars we have both of them 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maatsen has been very good, no doubt, but all things in good time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a guy named in the cl team of the year and played in a cl final, let's not forget. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duran, Maatsen and Barkley have all looked really good coming on as subs so far and their impact has won games for us. I get the idea that they may have earned a start as a result, but maybe this is the plan? Maximum impact subs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogen Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Have either of them got even a semblence of a right foot? Would be great to get one of them into right back for a few weeks to get Konsa back in the centre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejoker Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Think how good he’s going to be when Emery has coached him for 12 months… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Having Digne and Maatsen fighting to be our starting left back is the sort of quality we'll need all over to make us title contenders. It's **** brilliant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderball Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago As a manager you have to play the percentages, who can forgive you repeating a formula that is working. There is no rush to start Maatsen when Digne is performing so solidly and Maatsen is impressing when he is given time. It’s a long season, there will be a pivot point when Maatsen starts and has to perform to maintain that privilege. It’s working, look at Bailey and Tielemans last season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago I've been wanting him to start because I think he'll offer us so much, a bit of genuine pace for one. Digne hasn't put a foot wrong for ages though so it was a tough one. Do hope this is a bit of a break through for Maatsen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trickster Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Haven't had as many subs able to bring on that can influence in years like we do now. Maatsen, Barkley and Duran all have in just a few games this season. Great to see and makes every starting player sweat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emery wanted to add width and one on one take ons which is why Bailey and Maatsen came on at the same time We have the players to change games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's such an amazing feeling to see players warming up and to think that they not so much <could> but more <<will>> have an impact on the match. Also good to see that we can play with two strikers on the pitch at the same time and not have them falling over each other or grumping about not being the main man. So many more options at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted 42 minutes ago Share Posted 42 minutes ago Rightfully had to bide his time, but when he comes in he makes an impression, will be starting soon. He’s so rapid that even after a mistake (he tried to knock a ball that wasn’t his to get), he sprinted back and put the attacker under pressure.
