I agree with all of that, I just don't think there's any area of his game that stands out as elite or near elite level, not yet anyway. As @TheMagicFoolBus pointed out the metrics back that up aswell, and also the comparison to Salah in style I agree with. He is being used/developed in a way to...

He's a great player as part of a collective but individually he has nothing special at all to his game. This Arsenal team as a whole is the same, you'd have to probably go back to Alexis where they had a player who can create moments of magic from nothing.

I’d be far more confident of getting something at the Emirates if we didn’t play City in the semi a few days before. I’d love to see a backs against the wall Liverpool esque performance though (Slippy G game).

I still think though over the course of 90 minutes (no matter what dross the manager is serving up) you should be able to see with each touch, movement, intelligent interplay with teammates, whatever it may be. There should be something to indicate that this is a world class player, not just...

The best player on paper yes. Their goalkeeper Gabaski was by far their best player throughout that tournament if you watched it. They got to the final off of being sound defensively and him being fantastic in goal. You bringing up Salah exemplifies my point. When he wasn't scoring, you couldn't...

Wales and Egypt, both below average sides over the years. One player stood out as clear levels above his teammates, the other blends in with his average teammates. Its always a good indicator to identify a world class footballer vs a world class goalscorer. But for the modern game its more...

Crazy decision, he has an open goal. Not the only Arsenal player diving throughout the match

He was much better under Potter & Lampard where he was the deepest midfielder and first outball for the CBs to pass to. This season its been Caicedo in that area. Enzo has done well at times but there's been plenty of matches where you barely notice him throughout the game. I'd prefer it if he...

A lot of his pens have been against big teams to take the lead or equalize, and usually in high pressure situations. Hats off to him. I still can't believe Madueke had the gall to beg Palmer for the penalty in that situation though.

With no stand out players like Messi/Ronaldo around at the moment, he'd be my pick for best player in the world. I don't think he gets as much mainstream praise as he deserves though.

Arguably the best 1v1 dribbler the PL has seen.

Don't worry, as soon as we sell Gallagher the same people will be saying how great he is and how its a mistake to sell him.

What a game!

This ball retention is absolutely horrific. Its like watching us at OT

This match has been peak comedy. Why do we do this
