A few mistakes, but he's got personality on the pitch now. That and a very well-rounded game, of course.

Probably most technical midfield of the bunch, but also the most inexperienced and a bit soft? I'd go with this for some of the home games though.

I'm really impressed by his pre-season. He reminds me of another CM that never reached his potential : Hopefully Joe will be a lot less injury prone and far more consistent player. But I feel like we haven't had that kind of CM, able to make powerful run through the middle for a long long time.

He needs to be involved this season. Definitely could have at least a Guendouzi level impact this coming season. I wouldn't have him as a starter quite yet, but he's looking a great rotation/cup start option.

He's better as a CAM.
Would've been great to have had Ramsey as the starting CAM with Willock as backup and Özil in Turkey.

I remember saying the same. Nobody appreciates what we've got, the grass is only greener on the other side!

I like Willock. Awareness, calmness, conviction, confidence.
I’m reminded of those feelings I had of young Jack when he didn’t look out-of-place against Barcelona all those years ago.

Our best player this summer. Willock - Ceballos - Torreira should be the midfield three this season.
Willock is a starter. If he isn't, there is something seriously wrong at the club and with Emery. You can't give Guendouzi the amount of game time he did after a good pre season and then not give Willock his chance after his performances vs stronger opposition.

He's the man.

Willock was ready last season, should have had Elneny’s minutes.

Xhaka-Ceballos-Willock. Think this'll be the midfield trio for Newcastle. Guendouzi is a week behind but I expect Emery to bench Willock for him in the home game against Burnley.

It's amazing because Willock hasn't really received the same hype as some of our other young talents yet he's clearly by far the most ready for first team football. He has something which means he's capable of making the step up from youth football to senior football and not look out of place. I think some young players for all their talent lack this, especially when it comes to making a step up when it's a club like Arsenal with all the pressures and the challenges.
