General Reserves Talk

[Trilly]

No one else makes these sort of strange signings , its like wenger can't help himself ! only at Arsenal, at least he's making the kids dreams come true, good luck Bramall on your new career...

Wenger does like to try and make a footballer out of an athlete.

Bramall is lightning quick, he was apparently more focused on his running that his football as a teenager yet has still managed to impress Wenger.

Just keep your expectations low I guess, he shouldn't be having an impact on first team signings.

Yeah he looked almost high at time but like the post above said he's barely played RB at youth level let alone at the senior level.

I'll take it as a sign of him being very ice cold under pressure for now.

He should be watching Santi IMO. AMN has a decent left peg. Would improve his close control dribbling further.

Im all for a good rags to riches, plucked from excurity type of story, but lets be honest here, these type of signings more often than not tend to be a waste of time and resources...

True. Birchoff and more recently Jenkinson... It is Wenger trying to be extremely romantic. Doubt it will pay off.

What would? Watching Santi? If only it was that easy eh, we would have a squad full of Santis.

He is already a good dribbler, I think he has potential for being as ambidextrous as he has a good left foot. Wont be exactly like Santi but still a very useful asset in terms of advancing play and winning the ball.

His point is that "watching Santi" won't magically make him like Santi. Could do with some advice from him though, that's true.

Interesting. Makes my prediction about Josh DaSilva getting more U23 minutes stronger.

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

It worries me how bad our youngsters is at tactical game.

Very strong team!

Nelson ball control is unreal.

 

[MutableEarth]

Nelson and AMN look good as usual. Bramall a little out of sync. Willock settled nicely into game too.

 

[MutableEarth]

That little run from Jeff there. He eats up the ground. I wish he played with a bit more intensity.

 

[MutableEarth]

Good finish by the Saints no 9. We have lost momentum, not holding onto the ball well enough. Too much over dribbling in areas and a few stray passes in good areas. Akpom lacking fitness and Mavididi not a natural 10. Jeff has been flaky aswell.

 

[MutableEarth]

HT.

Competitivd so far but we have been a bit disappointing going forward. Started very promising with Nelson driving us forward and some good play from Willock and AMN. Bramall looks a tad overawed and not quite sharp. He is very quick though.

Jeff has had some good moments. Akpom and Mavididi have toiled a bit. Sheaf and Bielik dont look trouble until they collectively have to deal with a corner.

I reckon we should get Nketiah and possibly Zelalem or DaSilva on the field.

I wonder if Welbeck should have played in this game, he needs the minutes and would have added a lot to the attack?

Probably just need a proper number 10 out there. They also need to keep making sure that Nelson and Willock get the ball. They are the danger men.
