Eddie Nketiah: Better than R9?

[Trilly]

Or is he the next Macheda?

Made this thread because I wanted to discuss him and couldn’t find an existing one, if there is ignore this.

Think he deserves game time just on principle and ASAP too. Would be good for him to ride the inevitable wave of confidence.

Yes....the savior. Hope he gets his hatrick. Then Wenger will bin him like Lukas Perez.

Really need to trust some of these youngsters more. Also, play them in their natural position.

 

[TromsoGooner]

Obviously has a real eye for goal and is a lethal finisher. Quick too. Hopefully Mutable can tell us more about his overall game.

 

[YeahBee]

or he will devolve like practically all talents under Wenger these last few years

Woj touched on this, we seem to lack training acumen nowadays, other teams have caught up with us and surpassed

The list of players looking better in their first 20ish gmaes vs their last 20ish games is staggering. something is severly wrong with the training/coaching or lack there of!

Heck it is still true with some of our current crop

the critique Ramsey gets (some of it is warranted some is not I love him) well that critique is stuff that you should pick up and learn just by developing/playing and he kinda hasn't
he lacks things that can be learned

 

[Emmanueleboue2]

seems like the chap that is always at the right spot at the right time

 

[Camron]

Amazing. Very promising.

 

[RandomHero84]

Really impressive. Looked mature too, didn't even seem particularly raw.

 

[tap-in]

I saw him play pre season and he always look capable of scoring. Lets see how the season goes and hopefully he'll get to start some cup games after tonights performance.

 

[Arsenal1508]

He has earned a start in the next Europa League Game or Carubo Cup. A brave manager might even keep him on the bench in the Premier League.

I think Wenger should play Walcott in the Wing-Back position. It will also allow Nelson to play in his natural position whether as a starter or off the bench.

Was really unlucky in pre-season hitting the post a few times, we found Alexis' replacement in the summer.:bounce:

Nelson Nketiah Welbeck

 

[berric]

Oh, how I wish these batch of youngsters rise to greatness. After Eddie's performance, more than ever. It was Wenger's dream all along, to make a self-sustainable model with amazing youth. We badly need a worldie from the academy.

 

[Arsenal1508]

Da Silva looked quite a skillfull player too when he came on. Willock will be the next Dele Alli if he can get some composure.

 

[MutableEarth]

Expected this. Kid really is a goalscoring machine no matter what level he plays at.

He is a decent all-round player. Clean technique, good acceleration and able to create space for others. Handy at linking play too. But he comes alive in the box. Kid is a pure instinctual finisher and poacher. He can score any type of goal you want.

He certainly can be a star if he continues to score like that. All signs indicate he will.

 

[TromsoGooner]

Got a header today, how is he in the air?

 

[legendhenry_14]

Predator in front of goal.

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Got a header today, how is he in the air?

Def not his strongest side. But when in the box he sniffs out goal chances, what ever type of chances they are.

 

[MutableEarth]

Got a header today, how is he in the air?

Better than you would expect. Has a good leap and does score a fair few headers.

Henry : "Its okay if you don't beat my record"
Nketiah : "Challenge accepted"










Wenger far away : *I wonder if he could play as GK?*
