Gabriel Martinelli: 2019/20 Performances

[RunTheTrap]

Better than Lacazette. We have leverage over Lacazette, I hope Edu and Raul don't buckle and leave this wonderboy on the bench for too long, he's hungry and ready.

 

[Big Poppa]

His work rate negates the need for a high pressing CAM. He’s a defender’s nightmare. Got a bit of Tevez about him.

 

[boonthegoon]

The world of football still somehow rates Lacazette as a top top striker. Should sell him for what we got him for before his stock plunges down. We have good enough back up with this kid and Nketiah.

 

[RandomHero84]

One of our best 4 players.

 

[Arsenal1508]

One of our best 4 players.

Most likely our best.

Early signs, but he has ability to break Thierry Henry's record - I believe.

 

[Underhill]

His form deserves recognition in a league game.

 

[Arseshavin]

Most likely our best.

Early signs, but he has ability to break Thierry Henry's record - I believe.

His personal record at Barca?

 

[boonthegoon]

Most likely our best.

Early signs, but he has ability to break Thierry Henry's record - I believe.

Sadly I don't think it will happen only because Barca / Real are going to be all over him

 

[chessygoal]

I loved his reaction after missing the cut-back from Bellerin : Willock seems to have said that he should have left him the shot and Martinelli reacted strongly showing the goal, like he was saying 'man I' m in a good position no way I don't shoot'. This kid has it. His technique is suspicious to me, but he has a giant heart and a will to succeed I haven't seen in a long time here.

 

[Pepes blue pill]

Another reason to be pissed about tonight is it means most likely seeing less of this young man, promising promising talent

I said the same thing a month ago. People didn't agree with me

Sell Lacazette. He's a good player but surplus to requirements. No need to keep this culture of hanging on to players whilst money can be got for them.

Aubameyang, Martinelli and Nketiah are more than enough strikers.

Good lord, no. No. Auba, backed up by two players that have proven zero so far at the top level. That would be just beyond brain dead.

People are actually suggesting we sell Lacazette based on one performance against a championship side's reserve team?

Our fans. :rofl:

 

[RunTheTrap]

Seeing him play makes me wish we played with 2 up top. Imagine a tall physical presence next to him. He's eating goals for fun.

Yeah once a fortnight in europa is not enough for him, we need to sprinkle some PL starts in there for him too

 

[HaffBR]

You have to be patient with him, he will become a lot better in a few seasons (more polished, less anxious, more physically developed). Today the PL is something else.

The good thing is that playing with Arsenal's reserves (not that the starting lineup is much better, sometimes it seems even more dysfunctional!) against marginal opponents he already demonstrates some impact and that brings some hope.

 

[bojed]

He'll be a Barca player in 2023.

It's sad but that's the Arsenal life. What is sadder is that we might sell him for £30m

 

[Symbia]

As mentioned earlier, he's a center foward.
Likely seeing himself as a winger because his mentor Ronaldo is a winger.

His talent apart he has the highest workrate in our team, he just won't stop running.
Physically strong for his age too.

 

[Maybe]

Seeing him play makes me wish we played with 2 up top. Imagine a tall physical presence next to him. He's eating goals for fun.

I felt like he won every header yesterday so no need for that tall guy

 

[Impact]

Could, maybe should, have had 4 yesterday. Often a mark of a top striker is exceptional movement which leads to goal scoring opportunities and Martinelli has it in abundance. Also, his acceleration is incredible.

They were right then. Kid had proven **** at that point. You think it is a Good idea to replace a decent striker with a nobody whos hade a Good game? Ffs

START HIM AT CENTRE FORWARD
