Marquinhos wins gold, Patino's red card lesson and Nuno Tavares snubbed - Arsenal loan latest
The past week has brought about mixed experiences for the Arsenal players who are out on loan this season with Charlie Patino tipped to learn a valuable lesson after being sent-off in Swansea City's goalless draw against Sunderland.
«He's been good, Charlie,» Swans manager Michael Duff said. «He's had a lot of headlines this week in terms of a bit of noise and things like that but he's been flatlining in terms of his own ego, keeping it in check and not getting ahead of himself. We'll go through it [the red card]. It's part of his learning.
»If you give referees a decision to make… I don't think either was a yellow card ultimately. It's why he's here, different experiences. Arsenal want him to have these experiences with different teams so it doesn't happen when he's playing for them. It's why we have players out on loan.
«We'll talk to him and show him a few clips but it's character now. It's an opportunity for someone else to come in and if they step up he might lose his place. He knows where he wants to be but he's prepared to work every day to get there. This will be another part of his learning.»
Having said that, Mika Biereth netted again for Motherwell. That's now two goals in three appearances since returning from injury and below are updates on how the club's other six senior loan players fared over the past week.
Still sidelined with a hamstring injury that also kept him out of Scotland's fixtures during the October international break, Kieran Tierney missed Real Sociedad's 1-0 win over Bunol in the Copa del Rey last Wednesday night and Saturday's defeat at the hands of Barcelona.
