Why so serieuse?
Just watched Jadon Sancho have a great game against Hertha Berlin(dortmund still drew though). Nelson isn't going to take kindly to being stuck at right back in the europa while his mate is playing first team footy for a top club. We need to get our act together and give him time in his position.

Even Chuba Akpom got sub appearances in the PL when Wenger was trying to get him to sign a new deal, slightly worrying

Disgraceful from Wenger.

3-0 and you don't put in the top prospect.
At what point are you going to get a better opportunity to give him time?

Btw what did Wilshere do?

That's, like, your opinion, man.

Someone pointed out, bringing Wilshere on might be a contract thing. That and wanting to keep possession and the clean sheet?

Nelson got plenty of game time this season that he was likely not counting with.

Yeah I'm worried now and I can completely understand his frustration. If we end up losing him, you can only blame the management. At 3-0 there was no reason why he didn't come in ahead of Wilshere.

All the rest of the pl games should be potential opportunities for game time for Nelson and Nketiah, it's the perfect time to give them Pl experience with minimal risks..

Im frustrated but not worried. In 12 months time he could be a nailed on starter (highly unlikely) and be happy with his situation. He should be playing but there is so much that can happen between now and when his contract runs out, while he doesn't have significant transfer value to put us in a compromising position as to take the cash or let him walk for free.

Not worried at all, just has to keep working. Should’ve played today but never mind, he’ll get his chance and it’s up to him to prove himself.

Another thing is that he's missing a lot of u-23/u-18 football now too by being on the bench all the time.. At that age all you want to do is play games, and Nelson is in that awkward position where he's not getting minutes for the first team and not playing a lot for the reserves either.

Wenger always talks about how important the youth is for this club, but it's a big shame he has gone away from trusting them the last few years. 5 years ago he wouldn't have hesitated to give them a chance.
