Somebody take him to the barbers before he signs. That hairstyle doesn't suit him at all.
Needs to get a low cut fade like Ainsley. Still needs to gain confidence IMO.Somebody take him to the barbers before he signs. That hairstyle doesn't suit him at all.
I don’t see anything special about Nketiah but I think Nelson is a good talent.Just watched the highlights of todays game. I've always liked him, him & Nketiah are my favourite young players. Can't wait for the season to start, Auba is going to be huge for us. I felt he had a stop start half season due to not being able to play EL and he still scored double figures. 25+ this season and that is being conservative.

He had a lot of good play regardless of the stats.I don't think Reiss has been getting his due.
Nelson's been very effective this preseason. The performances haven't been sparkling IMO but he's been getting into better positions and has the end product. It's not competitive football but even last preseason he only had 1 assist.
2 goals and 3 assists in about 180 mins of football overall. This for me bodes well and I think he's ready to contribute. He does need to build up some more confidence but he's winning 1v1s and we need him to do that in competitive games.
End product though - I'm glad he's displaying that.
Reiss Nelson led Arsenal in xG+xA in the preseason and giving hints of the player that he could potentially grow into. Mesut Özil led Arsenal in chances created with eight total chances.
This bodes well.Reiss Nelson:
Goals -1
xG (expected goals) - 1.22
Shots - 4
Assists - 3
xA (expected assists) - 1.397414587
Key passes - 5
xG+xA - 2.6
Not sure if I'm being overly critical on our own, but when I compared Nelson to Hudson Odoi, the difference in the sense of purpose when the ball gets to their feet is quite stark.
Hudson Odoi is a man child. Insane frame for a 17 year old
I love your mindset!He had a lot of good play regardless of the stats.
I don’t like to look at individual stats, it means nothing to me because you can play **** for a whole match and score a lucky goal. Or you might have dribbled pass 10 men, passed to your striker, and he missed.
But if you’ve played well, it means you are good. It doesn’t matter if you don’t score or assist, the team stats will grow because of your indirect contribution.
