Literally nobody thought Vieira was going to fill the Xhaka void 😂 what are these man on about

[SPDChemist]

He’s an 8, Sky Sports News as clueless as ever. They need to start getting experts in.

[itsaziz]

Merino didn't flop at Newcastle, there was a clause in his contract that allowed him to return to any club in the Basque region if they came calling, that's why he left.

[revilo]

He's an 8 not a 6. Filled in at 6 before, but not very often. Out and out box to box

[zakdavid]

These guys don’t know Arsenal midfield watch out for Ethan Nwaneri

[amonzulu]

With Mikel merino
Arteta can use him as a double 6 with Rice or a double 8 with Odegaard.
It all works ❤

[JasonBebopp]

In the mean time while working on Merino, wheres the Saka cover/competition ??

[richardkalamake]

we as arsenal fans only we need is gyokores and merino to win the league

Calling this clickbait is a compliment. Sky sport fell off

[feriexexhange]

he never played as a DM, Zubiemendi has always been the one playing there

[i.s]

I hear them tightening midfield but they need to finialise a deal on a striker that’s the biggest elephant in the room for arsenal as well as no backup for saka

[nhattyx]

God damn it
arsenal sign this player alreay

[containedhurricane]

Merino has been playing 8 for Sociedad and Spain

[FaysalHaroun]

They Claim City has Strength in Depth but will argue about Arsenal trying to get strength in depth

[pierre]

Flex got a higher line then Tottenham.
I understand now, why this is the first time Ive seen it.

[glsinsight]

This is one of the best series of analysis imho

[forderonfootball]

He’s a left 8 with Zubimendi playing the 6. In some phases he can help to create a double pivot but he is not an out-and-out 6.

[zizoo]

Wtf ?! What you mean by a number 6 position ?!! It's obviously will be brought to fill the number 8 position, that left cm position

[futuristicplayer]

Hats off to Flex for that professional punditry

[elvispeterkitone]

I think football is nolonger about fixed numbers, it's about roles, and finding the right balance of the team... if players have qualities or skillsets to fulfill certain roles in the team, then the manager will add them to the team...
