Gabriel Martinelli: Dogged and Determined

[Uncle Good-Advice]

If I was a millionaire Arsenal player I’d buy a townhouse in Islington. “Yeah can’t come training today boss traffic’s a nightmare but I’ll see you at the Emirates on Saturday”

Cousin of mine used to live in the building right next to the Emirates. It was like a minute walk from the flat to the stadium so I can imagine that

 

[say yes]

I’m so angry about that pass.

 

[Rasmi]

Loool what a pass

 

[MutableEarth]

He's getting there man.

Got to see a replay of that final pass, looked simple even with the keeper off their line.

Yeah it's gonna take me a few days to get over that pass at the end.

But overall I think he did alright, still times he holds onto the ball way too long or just makes a bizarre decision but he's growing.

 

[Rasmi]

That pass cost us the game. No excuse for it. He is good when he doesn’t have to think. But truly low iq player

 

[say yes]

His decision making in the second half was terrible generally.

Talented player, but in games like this the margins are so tight and it showed.

 

[ArsenalInMyHeart]

I'm so angry with him, he just want to drible drible and drible the ball ..... And when he pass the ball , its too poor

Was always a threat, great goal but that pass at the end was simple for a top level PL player.

 

[KrptKid]

That pass bordered on being unprofessional. Fuming.

Bruv, about a year ago I was almost 6 stone overweight, suffering with all kindsa leg cramps, I was slow as sh!t and I had chronic severe back pain, and even ME in that state would've made a better pass than that.

Shameful pass, absolutely shameful.

That said I still believe in the player but it will take time to get over it.

Feels like a Bendtner moment smh

It was such a basic through pass to make.

 

[RunTheTrap]

I know everyone is pissed for the pass, but Martinelli puts everything for 90 minutes and was clearly tired close to the end. Sometimes football can be reduced to these small moments but we won't know how much it this could cost us until May.

I get hitting with not enough power or even close to the defender. But to overpower it like that is a joke. Fine his ass

 

[Maybe]

I know everyone is pissed for the pass

I actually expected it the moment he was on the ball, no way he will ever make that pass properly.

He was one of the few willing to fight today, love him for that

 

[TornadoTed]

The guy scored and provided a pin point cross for Jesus' goal and yet he is still getting stick for a tired 95th minute pass, this place sometimes.

 

[TheDrunkenMaster]

I’ve never been his biggest fan but he’s starting to grow on me after scoring once and creating a goal it’s hard for me to criticize him to much for that last pass

 

[NieThePiet]

Overall he still had a fantastic game. Of course against Trent it's easier, but he was a constant threat and involved in both goals.

Make this a perfect pass and he would have overtaken Ramsdale as my MOTM.
