Why is Seb so excited about Mikel Merino? 🧵
While my fellow contributors will tell you that Merino has not really done anything worth talking about yet, I am here to give you the gospel of why we should, in fact, be excited about our lovely Spaniard.

Trans women belong in women’s sports.
The FA’s ruling to exclude them is cruel, unnecessary, and a sad indictment on the game.
They claim "Football For All", but ban a tiny minority who just want to play the game we all love.
Pot Shot stand with the trans community, always.

Don’t hate me, but this has a *lot* of what I’d like to see from Arsenal at LB next year. Solidity, underlaps, overlaps, width, movement, inversion, comfort in all three spots in the rest shape.
All of this is very exciting. Merino is a platformer, a combative, left-footed passer to a left side that needed a player like him since Granit Xhaka. These first games have shown a glimpse into what the future of the Arsenal midfield might be, and that is very exciting.

Being a Big Lad™ he also provides an additional box presence. For the second goal, Merino makes a run into the box, occupying a defender as an aerial threat, creating space for Nelli to come inside (which he also instructs him to do) and get on the end of Saka’s cross.
