Lol, why do I feel you understand what he's trying to say but just want him to elaborate more. Well, I actually understand his point though. I think there's some similarities between how both broke out to the first team. Although Kelly is more talented, both started out as midfielders, now both are currently playing as full backs. I think davep sees Kelly as a midfielder and does not what him to play as a fullback just like his counterpart Niles. May be he feels playing Kelly as a full back may hinder him from fulfilling his huge potential. With all that said, Saka, Bale and others also started out as full backs so this isn't linear and only time will tell.

This is what I feel, but davep may have other Ideas.

The Ox is also a similar example. Well, if that's what he meant, he needs to expantiate further whether the 'Niles treatment' was commendable or condemnable.

This as to be one of the most difficult jobs
Temper can flare up and be caught up in cross fire between these 2
You won’t enjoy the match because your job is to keep grown ass men from killing themselves
Spits will be flying everywhere

Niles eventually made it to midfield, I even remember him winning man of the match against utd with pogba and their likes playing 90minutes. The later stage of his career in Arsenal was just something I can't explain, I don't think no body did him bad but himself. He couldn't keep up.

You get! This is why I actually want to hear from DaveP's mouth what he meant by "Niles' treatment" before I now give my opinion on what actually happened to Niles and his career at Arsenal.

I get but Niles is currently a full back at Lyon. He only played midfield in that game because of lack of options. With everyone fit, Niles wouldn't start that game as a midfielder. Same will happen to Skellye. With everyone fit, he won't play in the midfield. He should just focus and play as a full back.

bro it wasn't only that game he played in midfield. He played in midfield a couple of times

Mikel Arteta on Myles Lewis-Skelly's positional change: "I had said to him, "If you want to play, it'll be this (left back) position."

“I spoke to him and said I think this is where you’re going to have it, because I think it fits a lot of his qualities, the way that we play and it fits because we had necessities in the position, so we started to work on that.

“He got into it straight away with the personality that he has. I think it’s very obvious and now he’s doing it.”

“I think it’s very rare to see 18-year-olds playing against Kulusevski and Johnson in a big London derby for the first time to perform with that composure, attitude and that control emotionally,”

“It makes everybody at the club very proud because he’s been in our system for a long time.”

Reflecting on the player’s progress since he was first tested in the position in pre-season, Arteta said: “Adapting to the role is not just on the defensive part. I think physically, they’re very different demands. You’re facing wingers a lot of times in that position.

“You have to be part of that defensive line. You have to know when to release, when to not, when it’s on your side how you have to defend the box – something that he wasn’t used to.

“Then all the attacking processes on top of that, so it’s quite a lot. He’s dealing with that in a great way. Physically as well he’s matured a lot in the last year or so and it was another great performance.”

As is often the case in this country, attention has already turned to whether Lewis-Skelly could be an option for new national team manager Thomas Tuchel.

“Let him settle where he is first and talk about the reality he’s got in front of him,” said Arteta. “Stick with that and I think that’s more than enough for now.”

I remember those days at the Dan Anyiam stadium, adjacent to Township School in OTown. Man I miss those days...

You've elaborated it quite well. Gracias

To add, not that i see him as midfielder as a must. He's superb in the LB spot. Just that tomorrow, he might demand just like Niles and that may/will not be negotiable. Talent is not in doubt.

So the treatment is more about how both sides didn't come to agreement for one of their own(with reasons best known to both sides)

Ability to do so is never in doubt.

So it's like a middle form of treatment that has both condemnable and commendable.

Now that White is closed to returning, guess who is battling with fitness.... Saliba.

Can this injury just free us abeg

You could’ve defended him nah

I noticed he was limping few minutes to the end of that Spurs game. But I no too think am because he was running around after the match alongside Gabriel.

Kiwior against Villa in a must win game? Eeiiii God

I was just thinking about this few days back.

If this Baba get injury, who do we have as his direct replacement, I know Timber can play that position, but I mean, ” like for like” in terms of Intelligence, Composure, Control.

Now, I’m wondering why did this thought cross my mind. I guess this season has made me frantic with injuries here and there.

Again, Strikers are our concern at the moment, but our defense no want dey stable due to injuries.

The positive is that White and Tomiyasu are back in training. Make Saliba just hang on a bit till White get full fitness Abeg.

Shegzdave:

He didn't train yesterday due to harmstring issue according to report.

He might pass a late fitness test sha but the chance is slim. Maldini has been called up from the academy.

I don't think we can find like for like replacement for Saliba currently. He is in a league of his own. The most feasible option is to build a different CB partnership.

The injury is minor from my POV so he should be back soon. And yea, I'm glad White is back and knowing him so well, he would want to be on the pitch by next weekend.
