Yeah i was pleasantly surprised he started but it probably should have been Pepe. Maybe Nelson is responding to Artetas tactics in training, who knows.Solid game if you forget about his crossing today, same goes for Saka.
I still think it would be better if he gets last 20 min for the next 10 games than being a starter. After that, he will run with the ball with full confidence and that's something worth waiting for.
I'm fine with Nelson getting cameos off the bench for now but I would be more than happy to see him start again, hopefully from the left next game.
