Piero Hincapie: An Absolute Army Knife

[Red London]

Looks hot headed and a bit neurotic to me. Reminds me of the old Gabriel we had at centerback for a while with Wenger.

You mean our Gabriel? He was signed under Edu x Arteta haha

I think he's talking about Gabriel Paulista who incidentally looks like the product of an unholy Havertz/Arteta union.

Appreciate your effort in educating our newer fans

Legendary stint at RB where he looked like Cafu for a few games.

Disrespectful to Magalhaes to be calling this guy Gabriel without Paulista attached to his name though.

Nearly cost us for a second week in a row

 

[boonthegoon]

He's in his early Gabriel phase.

 

[sdotzdot]

Yeah im ngl im not too sold on him. Physically he doesnt look as a specimen as I thought he would and he loses concentration/makes a mistake quite often.

 

[Mudi]

Cannot blame him. Played together with Saliba, Timber, Mosquera, Calafiori and MLS ...

That way, you cannot build an understanding.

 

[TH14shahriar]

Clear the fecking ball or control it, don't let it go to a throw in, not the first time he's done this.

Also the goal? Needs to do better.

 

[Dennis_Bergkamp_10]

I remember AM calling Gabriel a bozo early on. Same thing happening here again.

 

[Batman]

He'll get better with hopefully Saliba as his consistent CB partner until Gabby returns. I can't fault any player trying to bed in never having the same CB partner 2 games in a row.

 

[berric]

You can see there's a player there. Hopefully we'll have patience with him because the stakes are higher than when Gabriel and Saliba started.

Again people focusing on one action even if it was Gabriel we would have conceded from this position. He saved us in 1st half too.

 

[Menard]

If he wasn't wrestling with the Wolves player and actually in line with the rest of our defense the bloke woulda been offside...his aggression is working against him currently, but that's identical to early Gabi, as others have said.

Ever since @Clrnc and @jones gave him their approval - I knew he was cooked.

 

[Barry]

Talksport had him as man of the match. Make of that what you will.

 

[BBF]

He needs something. More training, some Ecuadorian food, watching an autobahn, etc.

This isn't his level right now. He's far better than this.

Exactly, it's so weird

Are you ok? That cross was sent in with real pace unexpectedly, how the hell could he have done better there?! He's literally playing 90m week in, week out (& midwek) in a new league with new partners every single week. This isn't Fifa on the PlayStation ffs

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

That why being defender kinda sucks you have to be focused 90 minutes. Hincapie was like that today but just one mini mistake that he let wolves attacker go ahead of him and made people forgot what he did whole game he saved our a** at 1st half with great block

Doesn't mean he s**t or something. This guy is top defender young and could improve lot

 

[TromsoGooner]

Dodgey on the goal but apart from that I thought he looked good. A bit like Calafiori last season it`s easy to see he`s a very talented player.
