Malang Sarr

To be fair that's what City mostly did, no? leaving him a wee bit open while keeping Rüdiger and Thiago (and Kova) in check so they usually had to pass to Sarr. One of our problems that his long balls were bad. For reference: against Spurs a couple of days ago it was mainly Rüdiger..and that shows. That + Kepa's "long range passes" today were one of the reasons we couldn't cope with City bossing our midfield.

Yeah agree with this and with other posts above. Cheaply conceding possession was the root of our problems yesterday (the edifice crumbled as a result) and Sarr along with the front 3 was guilty of this, though I cut him a lot more slack given lack of experience and his crucial defensive contributions.  

 
Brilliant performance. Looked good for a while but today he really delivered when we needed him to step up.

That leftback spot better be his for the foreseeable future. Without getting ahead of myself I really think this 4-2-2-2 is the way forward, at least until our wingbacks are back. Azpi-Rudi-Silva-Sarr form a very solid back four.

 
Looks like he could be the answer to the left back position if we're going to keep playing a back four rather than just signing somebody in the hope that they can cover Alonso.

It’s the two protecting the four that are more the worry. But agree it’s the way forward for now.

 
Played really well today.

He can defend and his passing was good today.

Could he the left full back we need to get through the season without spending a penny?

Just depends how he adjusts as a LWB.

He’s been very reliable this season. Started abit erratic but has cut them mistakes out. I don’t feel worrried anymore when he plays. Keep him around. 
 

I suppose the question is for the club is, is he top quality? We might not need him to be top quality, a good squad player is largely what’s needed.

Looks like a player who has won a lottery to play in a match with the European Champions. Seriously out of his depth.

 
Yeah, he proved he’s not good enough. He single-handedly (outside TT) gave Arsenal the 3 points today.
