Premier League 20/21: Gameweek 32 (April 16-22)

[Taneruit]

Interesting about the Willock discussion. With the kind of formation we play, it’s difficult to see where he starts. He’s not a chance creating or game controlling midfielder, so not quite a CAM. Not quite a CM either. Impact sub, perhaps. Arteta gave him some starts when we were scratching our heads, so it’s not like Arteta doesn’t believe in him. It’s just that his skill set makes it difficult to use him in Arteta’s system, I think.

Impact sub for sure and if Willock improves on his basics he is a very valid rotational option for games.

Keep him.

The role Ceballos has been playing the last couple of games Willock would excel in. Not saying starting every week but definitely good enough for our squad at the moment.

Our current midfield options for next season are Xhaka Guendouzi Partey Willock Elneny. I don't think we keeping Guendouzi and hopefully we sell Elneny we desperately need improvement in this area I'd keep willock but I'd prefer him play regularly in league than playing handful of games with us.

Keep him.

The question of course will be if Joe is satisfied with that role vs having more minutes in another team lower down the table.

West Ham NOOOOO man

 

[Rimaal]

We could catch them, win tomorrow and we’re 7 behind with 6 to play.

Can you put in a word with Moyes, for us, telling him to throw the rest of their games?

 

[Hunta]

Willock has more PL goals this season than Havertz in less games.

I LOVE this game.

seen few chelsea fans comparing Havertz with ESR lol!

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

This 7 league games winless run coming and haunt us we could've been in similar point with Chelsea if mikel didn't be very stubborn.

 

[GDeep™]

Hope @GDeep™ is watching Fabianski here...

All keepers make a mistake, you guys just make a meal out of the guys you don’t like.

Fabianski is on another level to Leno, even Ben Foster said it a while ago.

Worry about your **** GK.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

10m loan fee and you can keep him for another season

 

[carter777]

Any other club and I suspect we'd get a tidy fee for Willock but Ashley's a tight s**t

I'd give willock another season to see if he capable make it here i think we'll renew and send him to Newcastle again his current deal end in 2023

 

[Hunta]

Would be fun to have Willock, Nelson and Nketiah on loan in the PL. Suspect we’ll sell Nelson and Nketiah though.

Yes the last 2 future here is done both ending up in championship just hope we get decent money from both. I think we might sell AMN as well

He would get plenty of minutes regardless.

I'm 100% certain Arteta would like to be able to rotate, our fitness/injury record speaks for itself and rotation will generally only become more important, not less.

But most of all, we can't just keep filling out our bench with players that are just *happy to be on the bench*. We need players that can push starters, that can raise their level when needed and be more than solid when called upon. That can impact the game when put on. Similar to City.

If they don't want to fight and rather just want a cozy starter job at a lesser outfit, so be it. Sell em'. But, we can't just keep thinking *Well, he's *happy* to be on the bench. That's all we need. *

Rather have a young English homegrown player in the squad than a Spanish loanee.

That was a nice goal he scored for Newcastle. Keeps on improving his value with some goals.

Amen to that!

 

[carter777]

Sheff Utd's last stand. Can't see past Wolves winning this.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Sheffield officially down if they lost this? I think the fate of Fulham Westbrom sealed after Newcastle win today
