Reiss Nelson: Lionelson

[Vinci]

No point loaning him out, it's not like he's a kid who's going to come back a different player.

Sell or keep.

 

[Legend14]

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.

He should be sold so he can move on with his career. Arteta doesn’t trust him, but he can play at this level.

 

[El Duderino]

Though he had a decent showing.

Needs to find himself a new club, for his and the clubs sake.

 

[Entropics]

Looks a bit less clueless than Martinelli out there, slight margins though.

As time passed it was clear to see there wasn't a real plan behind his start, just a hopeful gamble.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

It's over time to sell really he also need to play regularly

Hard to see how good he can be if he has these scant appearances then doesn't play for long periods. It really doesn't make sense for him to still be here.

I know this is selfish for me to say, but I really hope he stays and is played.

But if he goes, and its the better decision for him and his career, and he WILL do well.

Absolutely lively today, loved his work between the lines and how he held and moved the ball so well. He will do a job for us if he plays some more this season.

Another unreliable dosser. Get rid. I almost smashed the tv when he went through in the first minute and inevitably screwed it up. Literally did the only thing he can do not to score in that position. Either dink it over the keeper or go round him and square it to Saka for an open goal. Useless.

Did you see Saka shooting today? He could have been stood on the goal line and he would have missed.

I thought Reiss was combining well with Havertz and causing a threat. The second half started slow as it looked like Kiwior needed help. Martinelli showed some directness with his runs but the good chances dropped significantly after Reiss went off.

The better decision would have been to lob the keeper but otherwise decent.

Saka has been like that for some time now bar the odd goal. His confidence level looks low. Looks like he tried to change things by cutting towards the byline once or twice vs. turning in, didn't work out too well.

Think our full backs are limiting our wingplay.

Nelson should be given a change on the right and give Saka a rest.

 

[celestis]

Didn't look out of place in the starting line up, bit unlucky to be taken off , more to come from him imo .

Which is what we need , he's a throwback to Wenger players.

You'll know better than me but I thought his mechanics looked off when running with the ball. Expected him to look a lot more fluid, especially on the left. Not that I thought it really affected his performance.

Yeah he runs weird.

@MutableEarth I’m sure he used to be quite zippy?!

Forgot how to run properly after being on the bench so long. Can't blame him for being rusty.

 

[Pop Tart]

Thought he done well but arteta predictably takes him off. He needs to leave to save his career.

 

[Gooner Zig]

Watched the first half again - Reiss was very good. Arteta just needs to use the guy.

Still too meek but the talent is mostly there.

 

[fute]

We could use him.

Going down the stretch in the PL and CL, depth will be necessary.
