Matteo Guendouzi: Lad of Luscious Locks

[hydrofluoric acid]

He’s a kid who’s demonstrated in games like the away match vs City he can run the show.

That’s not average, people on here digging him out and Sessegnon like they’ve never actually watched young players develop before.

They’re not all going to be like Messi or Fabregas right off the bat where they’re racking up tons of goals and assists every single game.

Wenger used to call out instant gratification society and how right he was.

There has been talents before who had good games at young age then vanished. I think Guendouzi is quickly heading that way. Didn't expect him to be next Fabregas, his talent is way below that. But he can become a decent player maybe. But the fact still stands, he played way to much this season!

I said he wasn’t a special talent months ago. He’ll become a good player and he doesn’t deserve criticism since he’s a kid but it’s pointless hoping he’ll become a cesc or Ramsey for us. Good signing overall but he’s nowhere near as good as big a talent as people think he is.

No he hasn’t

 

[Ricardinho]

He's a young inexperienced boy that was thrust into important role too soon. He still gained valuable experience so hopefully he kicks on from here.

 

[OnlyOne]

No he hasn’t

He was incredible against City away.

 

[Ricardinho]

No he hasn’t

He was very good away to city in fairness.

Stands out in a mediocre arsenal team for me. As mentioned he shouldn't have featured in as many games as he has but shows that he is rated. Young players are inconsistent and full of mistakes. Just want everyone to chill with doozy, he will be class.

Someone give this man a job as a scout.

He was incredible against City away.

Ah now I can remember. Dominated that midfield and brought us to the victory!

How do you know he’s not a Fàbregas level talent? He’s ****ing 20.

It’s such a Football Manager or FIFA way of thinking that if he’s not banging in goals or assists by a certain age he’s going to be a flop. Progression isn’t linear, you can’t chart it on a graph. Young players are human beings not robots.

Come on, you know that's not the point.

I'm just stating my opinion mate. They can be wrong or not. I watch player play football and I analyze it. Like I said before I don't pretend to be good at this or know much about football, otherwise I would make living of it. You don't have to cry about it or take it so ****ing serious.

We got battered that game and there was no good performance. Well at very least there was no 'incredible' performance.

 

[Rex Stone]

No he hasn’t

He was a standout player in that game against one of the best teams English football has seen, while other experienced players showed nothing.

He's not perfect and hasn't been. But he's shown he's a very capable player.

At least own your statements mate.

There were no standout players. No incredible performances. We lost. He has had good games. For sure. I think against Chelsea in flat midfield of 3 with Xhaka and Torreira he had his best game.

But what he has shown this season IMO is that he is only capable of u23 level football at the moment and that he doesn't have any special attribute moving forward. Again his positioning is terrible, he is very slow in possession, he has lost his long range passing magic and he can't defend.

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

They are 100% mine and they are just my opinions.

If you believe he is the next Fabregas I'm fine by that but just to warn you, you could spend 1000 pages arguing it but you wont convince me.

You seriously think he's a Cesc level talent?

He's out of form, it happens. I love how much he wants the ball, he isn't afraid to take a risk either. He's no waaaay near as bad as you are making him out to be
