Reiss Nelson: Time to Shine?

[Possibly_Maybe]

Didn't see the game. Is there any compilation of his performance today?

 

[Hunta]

Missed out a few bits of him in there, I'll wait for the extended cut. Might order it off Amazon.

We got our own Ousmane Dembele!

He seems to have a very decent cross on him already, sometimes young players struggle to get good ones in when they first make the jump to this level due to having to play faster.

Wenger recently spoke about him saying that he played him wingback in preseason to learn defensive responsbility. I really do think that Nelson is an exception to receiving education through different positions and on loan at a different club.

Nelson needs to be thrown in at the deep end like Sterling was.

Completely agree. A lot of the worlds top players were already being given chances and playing at top teams in their teens, not being sent out on loan. If you're good enough, you're old enough. A cliche, but it's true. You don't get Özil questioning your age without exceptional talent.

Great turn of pace, lightning quick feet, gets the head up, can use both feet and has a cross on him. Looks like the making of an exceptional player.

Honestly don't know if we're going to see a whole lot of him though in my opinion. Wenger will possibly be cautious about expecting 'too much too soon' from him.

F**k that is my response. If he's good enough, he's old enough. Lad is clearly brimming with confidence. Give him some minutes and see what he can do.

Touché.

 

[DasBootist]

We're a lucky bunch, us gooners, for we are alive to witness the blossoming talent of Reiss Nelson!

 

[Axel9090]

He'll be in the first team soon for England, hes that brilliant.

 

[Bergkamp120]

Can't believe PSG are going after Neymar rather than Reiss.

Brilliant player! If he was a Monaco player, the French tossers would ask 100m for him.

 

[Preacher]

Reiss the Beast

I waited for his debut since he was 15 years old.

 

[say yes]

Another comp:

A new 5-year deal for Wenger is needed, the Nelson project should be finished.

 

[yybecause]

Once again; impressive.
Always dangerous, always positive. Destroyed them in the first 20 minutes with such quick feet and confidence. Like a hot knife through the butter
What impresses me the most is his maturity at playing position he never did before. deaerved that assist, just like a debut thats gonna happen soon

 

[pigge]

Looks very refreshing so far! He doesn't look fazed by the pressure of playing for the first team and justt plays his game, very impressive, much like iwobi when he broke through. You see the talent is there, really hope he can stay fit and not take the inconsistencies too hard on himself. Very intrigued by him!

 

[teamsoutheast]

I think so , best pre season performance from any kid I have ever seen for Arsenal .

Tough one to call that. I thought Jack Wilshere's performance against Inter Milan was flawless. and he was a year younger. This one does come very close tough.

 

[GoonerJeeves]

Lad is going to be flogged off to Millwall on a loan, and thence never seen or heard from again...
