Not playing an 18 year old kid in this toxic atmosphere... What a shocker.

That doesn't equate to not being talented enough though. Wenger's team selection for a while now has been highly conservative, always preferring experience over youth.

I would have been pissed if I was him too but he should still be professional. Throwing your bib on the floor is not going to endear you, no matter how justified your anger is.
Terrible from Wenger though, should have been brought on instead of Welbeck at least. I don't rate Wenger's management of Nelson or the other young players this season. AMN and Willock been OK but only the latter has shined in his actual position.
Hopeful he stays. Can't afford to lose a top talent. Will hurt if he goes. A lot.

I don't agree with or like his reaction. He still should have been subbed ahead of Wilshere though. Bad decisions from all involved tbh.

It 's not ego, it 's intelligence.
Wenger put in a CM with questionable fitness that 'll play vs Milan.
That CM replaced a winger, a place where Nelson fits better.
That same CM played the whole game vs Milan 3 days before.
Nelson has been sitting on the bench but not getting youth football.
He 's also obviously on the same talent level as Iwobi, even better.
That same Iwobi who was filmed getting lit up gets time regularly.
Do some of you watch football or curling?
This is the accountability Wenger brings, loyalty to a fault to some.
He needs to get gametime 'til the end of the season or he is gone.
There 's not going to be an opportunity better than this season.
At this point it would be best for him to go somewhere where he'll get more PT, no other way to learn how to play vs men.

I noticed Wenger has spent quite a bit of time with Nelson and Nketiah in training. Obviosly they are in his plans
Why couldn't he play instead of Wilshere? Give the latter a full rest, not like he did much when he came on anyway.
Yeah I agree with this and think I mentioned it a few weeks ago too.. Nketiah seems to have that arrogance/self-confidence that he belongs at that level and is not afraid to play his natural game and try things, while Nelson seems to play it safe and is a bit more cautious. Nketiah looks far more ready for first team football atm..
That said, I don't think we'll get a better chance to give them Pl experience. Even the rest of the pl games should potentially be opportunities for them and show them they are in our future plans.

Throwing a bib on the ground in front 30,000 people out of frustration anger is far from intelligent.
iwobi been very poor lately if nelson doesn't get at least 15 minutes when we 3-0 then its worrying signs it won't help him signing new contract

He'll get his chance.
Funnily enough this just came out today:
I dont believe Wenger would play AMN either without the injurys. Just look at the players he is starting & bringing on... His reliable guys.Yes 3-0 up against a relegation level team...what a toxic atmosphere
The pressure is on him every single match.

Are we certain that the twitter rumor is true? I mean this is exactly what fans on twitter would want to hear. Youth player angry at Wenger for not subbing him on. Perfect for the hits.
I'm still worried, specially after the comments that came from McGuane when he said that if youngsters want chance then Arsenal isn't the right place. It only need one player to move abroad and do well and tell their friends it was a good move for their careers. Isn't Sancho kid at Dortmund one of Nelson best mates?
Nelson should get his PL debut before the season ends. Other thing would be madness.

"He will get his chance"
When exactly? 3 up against a bottom half team is as good a time as any to give him minutes. I would have started him by now. Iwobi starts and - though I like him- he's not exactly been that good.

Yeah feels like Iwobi is eating up all the chances the other youngsters could benefit from.
Funny thing, at the moment I actually thing dropping Iwobi for one of the youngsters from time to time would do him worlds of good. Also the other youngsters. Healthy competition you know, the thing that drive all football teams to improve them selves from within.

We've just came off a terrible run, we had mustfi off for injury, welbz needs minutes, then mikhi got injured. For me a clean sheet was Paramount today. No big risks.

Imagine getting upset about this nobody not getting minutes. We need Wilshere/Welbeck at their best if we want to win the EL, who cares about this kid?
If that is his attitude, doubt a 15 min cameo is going to change his mind.

Those 15 minutes will be more beneficial for Nelson than they are for Wilshere or Welbeck.
