Kramaric had a great game vs. Spain. Ironically a game where Mandzukic was honored after his retirement.
* Edit - I remember the commentators compare him to Suker :rofl:

Didn't think he played that well today

Was very subdued on the right, barely touched the ball at all. That assist was like the only time he got a decent pass into him with some space ahead. Still enough to make an impact like that so late into the game. More end product for the kid, still highly encouraging.
He still has to sustain his influence on games. Playing him on the left will help him do that more but he needs to find pockets to receive more consistently.
Country: Iceland
Still only 18 years old. Imagine this kid after 3 years.

Yes and a lot more developed footballer!

Yep. Has he been played on the left at any point this season? I'd be eager to see how he does there. I'm hoping by the end of this season he'd have nailed down a spot from the left and we get in a left footed right winger for next season. Would be satisfied and hopeful about our forward line if that's how it turns out.
Goodness, he'll be reaching the end of his career there. Transfer to the MLS needed.

Hopefully, remember OX from 18-21? Nothing.

Good piece on Sky Sports about Reiss

Nelson 2nd from right, Sancho far right.

Ian Carlo Poveda played in the same Southwark team too! He's another really big talent - just unfortunate he plays for City. Should go on loan - really tricky dribbler, great agility.

Is Nelson better in the left or in the right? Because right now we already have a headache deciding between Iwobi and Auba on the left flank, and no one that we can use on the right. If Nelson can't play on the right then he would add into the wing problem on return to us rather than solve it.

Depends on how he's used. He's functional on the right, arguably scores more goals when he plays there. The issue is that while he strikes pretty decently with his left, he's very right footed and can't always cut in. He's got good enough agility for this to be mitigated but that will take a bit more time to translate better in the first team world. His best position at the moment is central anyway - Nelson's better when he gets on the ball in the danger areas and has license to drift wide. Most of his damage caused at Hoffenheim is when he drifts central from the wider areas and gets on the ball, particularly in the box. I think as long as he has access to the inside channel and the centre, he's perfectly fine on either flank. I think his issue currently is drifting out of games, and so far he's only fared slightly better in that regard on the left.

I remember when I thought that about Arturo Lupoli.

Yeah I saw that in the piece, not that I'd heard of him. Funny how you sometimes get these pockets of talent, same place same time, growing up together, even better when they all go on to be professional.

Funny. I always thought Bendtner was better than him

There's definitely a rise in South London footballers at the moment, all going on to dominate at international youth level - quite a few of Arsenal's current academy talents are from South London. Smith-Rowe is from Croydon, Nketiah from Lewisham. Guys like Foden seem to be the exception currently, Foden is a real prodigy. Very, very similar to Wilshere at the same age.
