Reiss Nelson: Time to Shine?

[HBL]

As good as Iwobi and Welbeck were today, I feel as if players like Nelson will improve much quicker through playing with the likes of Özil, Ramsey, Pea, Laca and Mkhi when fit.

Anyway, happy he got some game time. Seemed a bit hesitant to try anything today, understandable but hopefully he’ll show a bit more confidence next time he plays.

Nketiah and Willock next, could be an opportunity for Willock if Wilshere continues to play like he has and Elneny is banned.

I think Wenger missed the chance to throw him in. He came to the boil and was ignored. Now his form has dropped off for the U23's, he gets thrown in. Better late than never. I suppose, but great timing....

Genius.

Should have given him a lot more first team opportunities, and while being on bench he can't even have a proper run in the academy games. This is another thing what I hate about Wenger, he believes the young players will improve by just training with the first team. There is no substitute for real game time.

Now, if he gets more opportunities next season, and turns out any good, the club will be under pressure again to get him to sign another contract, as I believe his contract runs out in 2018. Poor management all around

Were you not here for the Banter Era? Project Youth sends its regard.

Seemed like Bellerin was plaing in advance of him. Don't blame him for being extremely conservative with possession.

Don't think it's a good idea to play a promising young player in a completely revamped squad.

For me it makes sense to slot them into a well functioning unit. It's almost a fact now that our lack of a clear system results in an incohesive lineup whenever we make wholesale changes.

Not exactly the best environment for a young player.

Wenger was far too cautious with him. He held him back just when he was at his most confident, and when he did get chances they were in that poncy wing back slot in a system we no longer even use or the last few seconds of a game that was already over.

When you look at the comforts Cesc had compared to Nelson, the difference is like Syria and the Seychelles. Cesc had gods around him and slotted into a settle unit with his role clearly defined...

Looks like he's signing a new contract.

In tears.
RWB is sorted for the future.

Great news!! thought this was a lost cause after the vibe the last few weeks.

 

[Beksl]

Get in!! Coincidence he got 1st team opportunities back the moment he decides to extent?

 

[field442]

I wonder how much he'll be on once he signs this new contract. Can only hope he stays motivated to become the best he can be.

Great, we'll get good money for him next summer.

Thanks Wenger

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Good news this he'll get more minutes next season still just 18 years old

He must have been given assurances Wenger is off

You had numpties thinking this guy is basically too good for us despite him showing the square of **** all.

They said he can beat players in training...well, World Class players aren't afraid to show it in the 1st team. Young players need to ignore coaches and take risks when given opportunities. Coaches always tell youngsters to keep it simple...but heck, you've got a limelight here...an opportunity. Against Southampton, he was getting in the way of passing opportunities...should have stayed wide and then cut inside.
You either have it or not. Nelson could go on and become another Quincy Owusu Abeyie.

He's cocky in the U23s and in his emotions, but dude needs a Reality Check. Needs to be a lot more stronger in his legs to ride challenges.

His potential right now is Raheem Sterling Level...not Thierry Henry.
