45 | Abdukodir Khusanov - 2025/26

Its actually really fucking frustrating that we're playing this guy out of position to accommodate Stones and Ake who just look totally off it.

Give him a chance in his actual position. Playing him tonight at RB against a back five meant we had no overlapping threat on the right.

Would you want him receiving the ball from a goal kick ( or splitting ) from the goalkeeper
 
For me right back is the safer option for him until he can learn to pass a ball and not make extremely rash decisions to dive in. I have a lot of love for him, he has some very good attributes but he's a walking disaster waiting to happen with the ball, he'd have more of the ball at centre back and any fuck ups will be intensified by being in that position. I'd sooner he was out of the way at right back.
 
He is a good player but for me he needs to be loaned for a season like Arsenal did with Saliba.

He has played 34 top flight European league games in his entire career and is 22 in February.

That number needs to be in and around the 120 mark before he can start playing at the level we require week in week out.

Well, if that’s the worry Gvardiol is doing well to start at centre half. Seems to have a brain fart with the ball on an almost weekly basis
