Ethan Nwaneri: New Nwan-era?

[RunTheTrap]

Problem is for me, when everyone is fit. Does he make the bench?

Yep

20-man squad if everyone is fit.

Martinelli-Havertz-Saka
Merino-Rice-Ødegaard
Calafiori-Gabriel-Saliba-Timber
Raya

Subs: Neto, Trossard, Jesus, White, Partey, Jorginho, Tomiyasu, Sterling, Nwaneri.

MLS, Zinchenko and Kiwior might be the casualties.

The way you've organised your bench is absolutely triggering my OCD

Lol. Sorry brother. How did my list trigger your OCD?

White is better than timber and Calafiori imo

 

[Heavy Duty Rom]

Guy must be frustrated. Comes on, puts in a performance, gets huge praise from the manger, only to be an unused sub in the next two, now an International break.

 

[Buhry]

Should get Jesus's minutes going forward imo

 

[Topside]

Games like yesterday and LC week before we certainly missed Ødegaard.

Nwaneri has performed when given mins, I think he should of started yesterday.

Either way he deserves mins, PNE he will start but I'd start him Shaktar CL home game also. PL mins well he's shown he's ready.

Would have come on as a sub if the team actually battered Southampton like expected

So he will never come on until games are decided? Doesn’t sound like a first team player

Why does he have to be a first team player at 17? The team is trying to win the league and go deep in the UCL. Nwaneri at this point will cherish every minute he can get. He will start mostly in league cup and FA cup games.

His age don’t matter. Is he good enough to contribute? He would have done more than Jesus right now. To hold a player because of age is stupid.

 

[OnlyOne]

He'll be absolutely fine, he's not ready to start PL games and would have expected minutes here and there. He'll be starting the early FA Cup games and Carabao. No need to worry.

Jesus needs to get in good form of just to see what he can offer before he gets let go. If Jesus gets in any type of form he is more valuable to the team right now than 17 year old Nwaneri. We have seen how good Jesus can be at his best. First half of the 22/23 season. If we get that Jesus back, we'll win the league for sure.

Pretty sure I saw him warming up before we scored the third. I imagine he would have come on if we were still chasing a goal, but at that point, different substitutions were going to be made.

If you can’t see a player that’s done, then I don’t know what to tell you. He is not out of form. His body can’t play at this level anymore after all the injuries. Nwaneri right now is better player and should play ahead of him

 

[Tom Mix]

Would have battered Southampton if he'd started or come on early doors. Sometimes the solution is is in the problem.

This would have been a perfect game to start him if we won against City instead of a draw. But with the way the team performed against Leicester, I'm sure Arteta was just being extra cautious.

Like how Martinelli was done a few weeks ago?

The point of playing Jezus, in addition to Nwaneri and Sterling is because we need a squad to compete for the top prizes. You dont just give up on Jezus because you think he's finished, that's not how real life works.

Really? In real life clubs don’t move away from players? Jesus with his injuries is physically done at the highest level. Just as Martial was couple of years ago. Martinellis physicality was never in question. His ability at the highest level is and will continue to be questioned
