Mikel Merino: Like a Meri-new Signing

[kraphtous]

Best striker we‘ve had since Auba.

All it took was two goals against a Championship side for you to undress. Well jokes on you pal. Your hubby didn't get you any flowers or chocolates this Valentine's.

Love his celebration as well!

That's his Dad's celebration that he does.

Yep seeing the side by side comparison after the euros goal was so cool

Can’t even appreciate a player scoring us a brace, you only like Rice.

Arteta : "We dont buy strikers. We make them"

Legend!

 

[Synical]

Do we think Arteta is going to keep bringing Merino on as a sub or will he start him?

Think he will start. If only to keep Sterling out of the starting 11.

 

[Riou]

This lad called it and then my guy @fute saw his chance for glory...






...keep aiming for those stars kid

If he starts Sterling next match they should send Mik for psyche evaluation. Straight Section 8

Erling Merino. Forget about getting involved in build up play and all that jazz just get him in the box and hit him with crosses. 5 touches in the next game with 2 goals.

 

[Macho]

I think using him like Felaini and bringing him off the bench against tired defences is the way to go. I dunno if 90 minutes of him upfront is a good idea.

 

[SA Gunner]

Yeah...needs to come on as a super sub, the bench option.

We have to make the best out of Sterling until Martinelli comes back, I'd actually move Sterling to CF in the meantime and Trossard out wide instead.

Once Martinelli and Saka are back, and the rest remain fit, we may have something to end the season with in the remaining competitions.

We don't. I know people really want to be positive but we're basically in a horse race and our horse broke two legs on the 5th jump and people expect us to continue to race.

Leicester are really poor and I'm afraid although the result was positive a better team beats us.

The fact we're still 2nd is a feat in itself.

I'd rather see Tierney start at LW than get more of that garbage from Sterling, so I'm all for Merino starting to keep him out of the team.

You dont think a forward line of Saka, Martinelli, Trossard, Nwaneri, Sterling, Merino could give us a fighting chance?

I know its probably far fetched, but surely there is some chance?

 

[Macho]

It does, Liverpool don't come through the 2nd half of the season unscathed. If/when they wobble we have to be there and luckily for us the lads haven't given up yet.

I'd hate if it were us with games in hand as Everton showed both teams results aren't guaranteed, I much prefer Arsenal on the chase rather than setting the pace.
