Youth team development

Klaus

It's a great run, but what a bloody ball hog.

QuincyAbeyie

Running with the ball there was the right choice imo. He had acres of space right in front of him, and he rightfully exploited it.

True. Too many players start thinking of emulating Messi after a long run. They ignore obvious passes which would result in easy goal for selfish purposes. One of the amazing things about Henry was his selflessness in these situations and one could easily make the argument that he could've scored many more goals if he was your typical player.

Worth keeping this guy this season? Plenty of game time for him on offer via the EL and LC.

Captain

Nah, ship him out.

QuincyAbeyie

Should be plenty of clubs where he'd play regularly, loan him to one of them.

Same auction process as Nketiah. He’s highly regarded and should find a good home where he can get sufficient minutes.

lorddulaarsenal

He’s got powerful thighs

Ray

Ship out Elneny and rotate between Willock and ESR.

Captain

Elneny is a non-entity at this point - he doesn't have any minutes to share.

goon

Plus his mins are more likely to come further forward.

I was thinking Nelson, Mkhi, Martinelli and ESR making up a EL front 4. That being said, a good loan would be much more beneficial. Maybe he can come back next season with Mesut’s and/or Mkhi’s mins in mind.

Captain

Nketiah just scored again. Only on the pitch for ten minutes.

Klaus

Only goal of the game too:

Not exactly the most difficult strike of his career, but he's really clever about finding space on the pitch. I like how he drifts away to the left instead of attacking the first post.

Captain

Can certainly sniff a chance, will be interesting to see what he adds during this spell on loan.

Captain

It's the little diagonal near the end that keeps him onside and creates the space and the angle for the pass.

Finish is routine afterwards.

JazzG

Yeah the movement there is very good, even at this level you'll find many who don't get in correct position. It seems to come naturally to him as well.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Clever striker.

Jed

This guy will be a goal machine. Watch his movement. That's Auba esque.

Killed 2 birds with one stone as the change of angle kept him onside.
Love the support from Wrighty.
