EL | Arsenal v FC BATE Borisov | Thursday 7th December 2017 | 20:05 GMT | BT Sport

They've a long way to go and a lot of maturing to do, you can't just expect youngsters to hit the ground running, they're still developing.

In all in all I think we can conclude that Wenger made the right choice with his team selection. Maybe you could argue Nelson for Welbeck (tho some didn't even want Walcott to start) but that's about it.

Think the youngsters would have beaten this euro trash tbh.

Of course he made right choice with the line up. He could have started 11 turtles and it would still be the right line up.

This game meant nothing. That is why few on here felt it would be perfect chance for few more youngsters to start.

Right call. Ffs.

To be fair the youngsters came on when it was 5-0 and you could clearly see the rest of the team were slowing down. Still, I would like to see some more intensity from the likes of Nelson and Willock. Nelson keeps hunting the ball instead of staying wide and looking to move into space.

This

The team looked really good until they came on. Gives them experience but limited our goals to 6. Would like to have seen 8.

It's all part of the hype on here of over egging our youngsters. They look good but a lot of learning to do.

 

[kraphtous]

Wenger has become too old and cautious for the game, any progressive manager would’ve started Nelson, Nketiah and Maitland-Niles in their favourite positions for this dead game.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

Credit to Wenger for proving people that he knows best when it comes to starting XI, what a performance for those who turned up to watch the game tonight, I bet it was well worth the money.

Glad we were able to master Bate.

Pretty easy when the squad is full of wankers

Well at least didn't concede 33 shoot like the guys who beat us few days ago

 

[arsmile]

that was a lot of fun

loads of positives

only coquelin could play in a 6-0 thrashing and look like it was his first go at the sport

Welbeck is also the only striker who could play in a 6-0 thrashing without making a single correct decision....

Lose. Yip yip yip.

Win. Yap yap yap.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

6-0 FT. Good game and run out for all the players. Of the youngsters,Willock looks the least ready imo but AMN should be getting sub PL appearances by now. It was nice to see Ramsey supporting his team mates and the work rate of the players especially in the first half was good. I liked how Coq played and apart from 2/3 misplaced passes,he was strong in MF. JW looked a lot sharper too. Enjoyable match .

 

[NieThePiet]

At least we can't get Bayern next round.

Don't think we will play our best 11 against a smaller team.

 

[A_G]

Didn't watch but if Debuchy was as good as people are saying, it's a shame it happened so late in his Arsenal career. Could have used him in the last two years while Bellerin focused all his attention on becoming an instagram model.

 

[blaze_of_glory]

WGW is the future.

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Willock look the least ready from 10 minutes. Yet he has looked the most ready of youngsters when he starts games.

Not to say he is ready. Still long way to go.

I'm sure this place would have loved us struggling to draw the game as well.

It is a shame, he was a very good player when he joined us, but since he's been injured much of that time not much that could be done about it.
