We've conceded a terrible set piece goal. Not the best start. The 3 forwards are looking good. Lewis-Skelly rusty.
Not been a great game. We've dominated and had a couple chances but Sevilla have defended VERY deep and counter attacked well.

Lewis-Skelly been playing some fantastic passes but also been playing some rushed and rusty ones. I'd argue Cozier-Duberry been our best player but he's being asked to do too much IMO. The team needs Nwaneri IMO. That extra spark is missing. Obi hasn't had much chances and Sagoe Jr should have scored at the start.

I dont even think we need Nwaneri. Our 2 cms Gower and Dudziak are having zero impact especially the latter. Rosiak has been doing more on that right half space and MLS would be more impactful further forward as they are very compact . His dribbles would open them up. Sagoe should have really scored his chance. Sevilla have had only two and scored both. Lastly , we have 6'2" and weve given him zero to contest in the air.

Yeah Lewis-Skelly has been extra disciplined but we need more of him. Gower and Dudziak were as I expected them to be. Really wish they used Akolbire more. He's not even in the squad.

Obis hold up has been really good but he's not getting enough of the ball. I want to see him in front of goal but we're moving too slow. Sagoe Jr and Cozier-Duberry are having to start from really wide often.

I think Heaven has been the best defender aswell despite his stumble for the 2nd goal. He's a bit lacking in agility but there's a massive player there.

Obi comes off which is unfortunate. He didn't do anything wrong. One of the CMs needed to come off. Good to see Kamara back though. Clutch player when the chips are down.

We are really not as bad as the results indicate . Just unfortunate that Lewis Skelly and Nwaneri both got injured at the same time and the next options hierachy wise are players totally different to them . Akolbire is also injured. Gower and Dudziak have no standout quality apart from being technical which isn't even a standout if you take into account their weaknesses. I would have rather started Nichols at RB and Rosiak CM who are both technically competent as they are athletically. Our RW was isolated all game because our RB was inverted in CM and the RCM never overlapped.

I thought for most of this game we actually looked OK but just a bit blunt going forward. Think Gower should have been on the right if they were gonna do that as he did a ton of overlapping ahead of Sousa and Sagoe Jr in the first half. There's something in Gower but I just feel like he's always gonna be in Nwaneri's shadow because he isn't as good or as impactful against the stronger opponents.

I'd have gone for Rosiak in midfield aswell, maybe even as the 6. Nichols is really good aswell. I'm also really glad to see Kamara back, he looked like he never left. Think with a bit more sharpness he'd have scored or assisted. Sagoe Jr looks better centrally at the moment.

Another underrated player. Just back from injury and impressed vs Sevilla U19s in the week. Will be interesting to see more of him, has a very good blend of attributes. Seen him live in the Youth Cup and he's ****ing rapid! Very decent technically aswell, hope we do something with him.

Is he the best youth striker prospect we had so far in hale end?
He's the most complete we've had since TJJ. Have to see if his goalscoring translates to a higher level but I can't remember a 15 year old striker being fast tracked so quickly since Benik Afobe. He has literally everything needed to be a success but he's so young. A lot can happen. Just have to see how he adapts.

The highlights I seen he has huge physical advantage though. This plays big role in youth football

Funnily enough he stands out more for his technical ability than his physicality even in youth football. We can only wait and see how he fairs when playing against men but I guess that's why he's being fast tracked .

Isn’t he like 6”3 or 6”4 already
 

Arsenal Quotes

One of the things I discovered in Japan was from watching sumo wrestling. At the end you can never tell who has won the fight, and who has lost, because they do not show their emotion because it could embarrass the loser. It is unbelievable. That is why I try to teach my team politeness. It is only here in England that everybody pokes their tongue out when they win.
