87 | James McAtee - 2024/25

[Damanino]

knowing Pep next time McAtee plays is now the Carabao first game next September lol

So that’s why Pep doesn’t play him.

Im confused why he came on for Gundogan in the DM spot.

So strange.

He didnt do anything.

I may rate him, but if he puts in shifts like that he will not get anymore game time.

You gotta bust a gut in those last 15 minutes.

Gonna be rusty having barely played to be fair. Certainly not looking the season we'd hope for him though and he was miles off it tonight

It makes you wonder if Pep intent to set him to fail playing in a CM position knowing James McAtee incapable of doing it. He can play on the wing or no 10/8 but never a DM.

I dont understand why he didnt just play RW in Bernies spot.

Its how Phil learned to play for us, and its low risk.

But I dont want that to be an excuse.

He has to do better.

It will make a lot of sense to put Bernado in DM and him on RW to run down the clock.

I thought of the same when I saw the sub.

God knows why Pep tried him in an unfamiliar position together with a dramatic change of defensive line. It almost like Pep threw away a win to answer the noise.

I'm actually not sure he'll get another chance. It's not just that he didn't do very much. It was truly stupid of him to get that entirely unnecessary yellow card. Pep will have noted that. Delph, a much more experienced player, had one nightmare of a game and that was basically it for him in Pep's eyes.

He'll soon be gone. Ain't good enough, OK for the championship.

If Cole Palmer wasn't good enough for Pep.. I think it's safe to say McAtee is not making the grades.

Nice knowing ya James! Have a good career at Arsenal!
