Mikel Merino (now playing for Arsenal)


Recommended Posts

What's this I hear about Merino scoring 10 goals in a 4-1 demolition of Slovakia?

That wasn’t even the most newsworthy part of his match.  Apparently also got flashed at by a fat perv, picked-up a head injury, and got Nobel hat-trick (Peace, literature and science). Canny day for the last Jedi.

He's got a couple of goals in his last few u21 games afaik. It's one issue with a potential Shelvey partnership for me because if he has more licence to get forward I think he'll be in the goals but paired with Shelvey that's not on the table. Tricky one.

 

Individual stats doesn't matter, the team does if Shelvey and Merino is our best partnership means Merino having less favourable stats who cares?

 

I know I personally couldn't care less if he never scores as long as this level of performance keeps up.

Of all the midfielders we have Merino looks the best bet to play the furthest forward. As Rafa is unlikely to play three in midfield that would mean replacing Perez. As long as he plays with Shelvey or Hayden in a midfield two he will be restricted in how far forward he can get which is a pity as he's obviously capable of scoring a few.
