Eddie Nketiah: 2019/20 Performances

[Maybe]

He was behind Mavididi and Akpom in the academy and now he’s banging goals at Arsenal

Ehm, no he wasn't. Maybe at some point he had to wait a bit, but he was a regular at the academy level. He was scoring like crazy at that level

 

[Rex Stone]

There’s clear deficiencies in his game but he’s scoring goals at every level he’s played.

Really promising sign, might never be a world beater but if he’s banging them in semi-regularly he’ll have a place here for time.

He's a poacher. I've liked him a lot since when he played for the youth teams. I think he's a brilliant poacher, and his work rate is exceptional. But he doesn't have the final ball to lay off others. He hasn't had it in youth level either. When you get him, you know it's just for his finishing. He's a good finisher and great at pressing. But expecting him to play around the box and contribute there is very optimistic.

I wonder if Nketiah would be rated more highly if he had better haircut and dancing celebrations?

This is not entirely true - his all-round game improved significantly as he played U23 football. Check out the full game highlights of the game vs West Ham U23s. It's a perfect CF performance from Nketiah. He has it in his locker.

That and pay 50mm for him.

Yeah. His link up with Nelson at times was telepathic and not just one way. At the first team he's a bit too eager and doesn't use his teammates as well yet, but he was like that when he first got into the u23s. He's smart, works hard and despite his goal hunger is not a selfish player, so it will come.

Nketiah & Nelson were such a good duo. I found the match btw

I'm sorry he didn't cost 50 M.

Or have a continental passport

The problem is, he is just a poacher at best. Poacher implies **** and limited.

Just saw it. Definitely missed that game, never seen him play like that even at U23 level before

Let’s be honest. We all wanted a youngster who plays in the style of aguero.

I'd argue that Eddie isn't far away from that stylistically. He's very much underrated both as a ball-carrier and a link man, and he's already scoring goals at first team level without even getting into his groove as a finisher yet. There's so much more to come from him and so many people will be very surprised.

Let’s hope he develops into what you’ve described. For now, I like John jules, the development of balogun is also quite interesting.

Nketiah is a good player, got a very bright future here I reckon but one thing he has got to improve on is his passing in a way, that was a good counter we started just before 1/2 time but he stuffed the pass big time to Auba, that would have been a good goal from a counter. Every player has something they've got to improve on anyway.

Future mid-table striker. His overall game is just meh. He could prove me wrong but even getting mid table strikers from academy is a massive plus, could fetch us good transfer fees

mid-table striker for a mid-table club.
