Reiss Nelson: Lionelson

[Riou]

...should be used more, perfect alternative to Martinelli and suits that wide spot in our system more than Trossard (Leo should be used more in the centre)

 

[Melquiades]

He’s always bright and noticeable when he plays and his G/A contributions per minute are excellent.

Good squad player who probably deserves more minutes, especially when Martinelli isn’t firing on all cylinders.

 

[Legend14]

Was he playing LCM late? I saw him pick up the ball deep several times and it was clear to see an element of play we’ve been missing. He could carry the ball forward with confidence.

Good match Reiss.

Good match Reiss.

Central is actually where he ultimately wants to play, funnily enough. Wide left is also a better role for him than wide right (although he has had good performances there).

 

[Clrnc]

He deserves more minutes. Everytime he plays he look so bright.

 

[Gooner Zig]

I really don't understand why Reiss doesn't get more minutes - we run Martinelli and Saka into the ground while Reiss is warming the bench and is more than a legitimate option to cover both the LW/RW.

Arteta made a big mistake by not bringing Reiss on vs Villa away sooner imo.

Arteta debuting hale end talents!

Could become my new favorite drug!

Yeah he's definitely more of a Martinelli type player with that pace. Would be far more worrying to some opponents, especially as they tire.
Not that I'm as against Trossard on the wing as some are here.

He doesn’t have the mentality. He is more talented than Martinelli, but there is big difference in mentality

I wouldn't say he's more talented at all. I think Martinelli is one of the most talented young attackers in the world. He's definitely done a disservice when people say his technique isn't good (I know you didn't say this but TV analysts have said it on multiple occasions this season).

I just think Nelson can offer the pace and directness of a Martinelli compared to a Trossard. Needs to be put in more to relieve the burden.

I think he's more technically sound then Martineli not more explosive though.

 

[TheGreatWright8]

Didn't he play champions league @ hoffenheim ??

Nelson's in between the two players tbh. He's not far from Martinelli in terms of physical profile, but he's quite close Trossard in preferred playing style. He can occupy defenders 1v1 when he's feeling it but he wants to come into midfield and combine, and most of his best shooting or passing moments come from the central areas or half spaces.

The left wing role currently is an awkward fit for pretty much everybody, including Martinelli.

 

[Heskey]

He'd got such a nice close control with the ball at his feet.

I think he could grow a lot with continuous football for a stretch. Gain some momentum and confidence.

Feel like he could be similar to Gnabry if he got going. Both in style and in explosion of career trajectory.

 

[ASAP Berg]

Needs an opportunity like Nketiah keeps getting! Ready to explode I can see it clearly

 

[bakaboo]

If it was few years ago, I would agree. Since last last season, there are some changes to his mental state. He is confident on the ball and more mature in his playing. Martineli more direct and very good finisher from the left. Nelson operate like a wing playmaker

I was today years old when I found out when someone is injured, the maximum sentence under Dogs Dangerously Out of Control (Section 3 Dangerous Dogs Act 1991) is 5 years!

He only comes on to save Arteta's day but Arteta never starts him... despicable man management especially when Nelli/Trossard are given free reign to stink up the Left wing position. Especially when Trossard was horrendous vs PSV whereas Nelson was our best player.

His last Premier league start was year sago ffs, if he does not start vs Fulham at Craven cottage he should on loan in January ASAP.
