Gabriel Martinelli: The Grift Of The Gab

[Dokaka]

No he's not. Looked like a top player with a very high ceiling every time I've watched him. May not be many times but I think I stand by my opinion. @Dokaka kindly prove me wrong.

Him and Martinelli are pretty similar. Summerville started flourishing after we brought in Nuno who likes to play quick transitional football which is not a coincidence. Remember how Elanga looked under Nuno as an example.

I rate him and always have for his potential but he's far too much of an unknown quantity at this level still.

Don't you think his technical ability is superior to Martinelli's? What do you reckon his potential ceiling is? Also would you say that he's nearing Olise's level while he was at Palace?

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

[El Duderino]

Yeah, listen, I think he's a useful player and all, but it's time to move him on.

 

[El Duderino]

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Remember when there were people still backing him because he was the best defensive winger in the league?

Good times.

 

[Trilly]

Just can’t reliably win games when this guy is 1/3rd of your attack.

 

[Ash10]

Yeah I am done

 

[Iwobeast]

Was kind of surprised to hear the guys on the TDK podcast (whose analysis I usually trust) all saying they would extend his contract and give him 200k a week (lol) because he's such a valuable squad player

I don't know why fans keep getting fooled again and again while there's a sample size of 2 seasons of terrible performances and constantly bottling game defining chances

 

[Batman]

He and the manager both need to be gone next season. I'm not watching another season of this idiot trying to learn basics. I said in the offseason that if we were still in a position to be relying on this guy it would cost us and every PL match shows us this.

 

[MutableEarth]

Martinelli is a goldilocks player. Any other conditions than the one that suits him and he's a net negative.

 

[Dennis_Bergkamp_10]

How many times do we need to vent our frustration on this ****ing fake Brazilian? He would not start for most PL teams ffs. Did nothing again today.

 

[A_G]

No idea why he heads the ball down here, just let it drop down and play a ball across to Trossard or slip in whoever that is near him, maybe Zubi.

I know.

Because he's ****ing goddamn awful that's why. I can't take this lad anymore at Arsenal

Feels like every game I can take a screenshot of him doing some dumb sh*t that costs us a guaranteed goal.

Can’t win titles with guys like this getting significant game time.

Not saying Eze would've gotten to this ball or anything like that, but look at his assist vs Leeds for Gyokeres. Thats what a smart player does in those situations.

 

[Aubamabludclat94]

Playing far too many minutes for us now. He's simply a plan C type player.

 

[BigPoppaPump]

Why does he start over Trossard? Even though Trossard is streaky he's always better than Martinelli.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

I said at matchday thread this guy won't start for team that in fight for top 4 yet he keep starting for team that want to win something

 

[Gervais]

he’s decent off the bench against tied legs. That’s the kindest I can be.

 

[dino bravo]

He’s good as a sub when we are 3-0 up and he gets the 4th, that’s about it. Not much else there. Playing him and Madueke as a wing pairing is a crime against football.
