Ethan Nwaneri: Nwan Of Nwan

[MikelHadADream]

It was so weird when our fans booed this guy lmao.

 

[MikelHadADream]

Crazy this guy already has a signature finish whilst barely turning 18. Amazing player.

 

[MutableEarth]

On the bright side, the way our academy is going, we may only have to bother scouting right footed players, which are by far the majority! Of the right footers, Rosiak, Casey, Annous, Ife Ibrahim, Salmon and Bailey-Joseph all have a chance - if they develop well - to maybe make it to squad players. No doubt there are others younger still.

I've got major stocks in Ibrahim, Salmon and Bailey-Joseph.

"You're that guy, just keep working," said Hutchinson. "Also, have you thought about snaking your club and national team?".

 

[sdotzdot]

Glad Martinelli and Saka are back to ease some pressure off him. Future star player, but he was playing too much right now.

 

[AberGooner]

Another good game from him tonight. Would've been nice to see him linking up with Saka but we'll have to wait for that.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Smart run in our 1st goal he really settling into the team nicely. He done more than what we asked for with Saka back he can play with more freedom

 

[El Duderino]

will get a breather eventually as Saka draws closer to full fitness, but it'd be a shame if he's relegated to 10-15 minute cameos.

Would much rather we took a punt at him in midfield than bringing, say, Jorginho on for whatever reason, even if they're not like for like.

I do wonder how he'd fair on the left, even if it's as a super sub or whatever.

 

[Zaza]

Hear me out: a front three of Martinelli - Saka - Nwaneri. The fluidity would be madness. Arteta should think of trying this out at some point.

If we get knocked out of cl I'd be up for him trying something like that or trying one of them on the left at times. For now need to build game momentum even if nothing really left in the league to play for

Pretty confident this deal will go well. He's already on his way to being a made man at Arsenal already. One of our most effective attacking options.

 

[AberGooner]

1 off double figures for goals and he's just turned 18. That's top top stuff, what a player we have here.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

12 G/A all competition he just turned 18. Next season he'll get 20G/A.

 

[MutableEarth]

I know he's been a little undercooked of late but I don't like how little of him we're seeing in times where we need goals.

I think he could have done something if given more time. Really disappointing that he didn't get 25-30 minutes. Ødegaard was clearly not going to do anything positive. Having a capable ball carrier on that side to draw a man could have helped Saka a lot too.

His style of play will thrive in the UCL. He could have caused them a lot of problems

It's a double edged sword really because he's struggled to perform the role exactly like Ødegaard has done at his best so I don't think it's a guarantee that he'd have played well but just on the off chance that he is in a good shooting position, I trust him to do the needful more than most players in the squad (fit or otherwise).

I just think the roles are starting to become a little too rigid for an Arteta team.

Nwaneri is a player that needs freedom to express himself. And he is talented enough to get that freedom. Let Havertz and Rice do the running around, Ødegaard even loves to run around a lot lol.

I feel like he's gonna have to earn that freedom. A solid pre-season where his conditioning and off-the-ball movement improves significantly will see to that.
