The Angel Gabriel (Martinelli)

Big Willie

Sicario2 you and Qwiss presidents of the Martinelli fan club?

At this point may as well be. It's not like your views on him are a minority. Just kind of annoying that whole sentiment has come from a mis-utillisation of his abilities.

But anyways, keep on keeping on. The haters are going to hate on him and justify their position on him no matter what he does following his instructions.

Whatever his future with Arsenal, Jo tells me she's never seen me celebrate a goal like I celebrated that one this evening. It was absolute scenes in the Clock End.

He's had a very good week.

Sicario2

I went mad too when he scored and haven’t seen the replay as I was at the stadium but apparently he was celebrating like crazy too? When’s 1-1 you take the ball to the half way line as quick as possible. I understand the euphoria of scoring a last min goal but it was still just an equaliser.

FEBravo

Sicario2 you are an odd one

Well he only got 10 minutes. Maybe if he'd had 20 we'd have won.

Mirth

Sicario2 enough with the agenda. The VAR check took longer than the celebrations so this is the most absurd point you've made yet.

Sicario2

FEBravo Giroud did something similar 10 years ago and got massive stick for it

Qwiss

Sicario2 it didn't make any sense then and it doesn't now. Restarting the game is not within the gift of Gabriel Martinelli, any more than it was for Giroud - it was the 3-3 game at Bournemouth you're referring to.

Sicario2

Qwiss ok so now he has suddenly become Lionel Messi ffs

Sicario2

Mirth as I said it didn’t see it just heard he celebrated too much. I have zero agenda, if the guy is good he is good but he’s been shit for 2 years. That’s no agenda but facts, reason why he doesn’t start for us anymore. But hopefully he continues with these super sub appearances.

Qwiss

Jesus now you're going mad about his celebration.

daredevil

Clearly far better being able to run through the centre than he is isolated on the flank. Great finish.

Gazza M

we've found his niche. he's a nightmare for teams that have defended against controlball for 70 minutes

Cannon

I just hope this does not mean he starts the next match. Let him be the super sub!

Cannon

Cannon This @banduan The way we play he can only excel as a super sub. Its a bit like how i felt about Theo walcott back in the day. Players like TW (then) and GB (now) stick out with our possesion play at times. I feel such players should start based on oppostion/situation or be squad players. Never a guaranteed starter.

Rohit

The guy scores two important goals and we have fans wishing he isn't rewarded with starts rather than wishing the manager improvises to get him in those positions more. Remarkable.

Sicario2

Rohit he is not a starter worthy. Let’s keep him as a super sub for now as it’s working. I mean who he is going to replace as a LW anyway unless you drop VG for him.

invisibleman18

To be fair, the next match is Port Vale in the Carabao Cup so it's probably one he should be starting with some squad rotation likely.

☝️ Takes the edge off 2 points dropped a bit. What an absolutely sublime goal. Eze's assist was DB10-worthy and Martinelli's outside of the boot chipped finish matched and exceeded it.

flobaba

Burnwinter lol at Eze spread eagled in the center circle after the assist!

Really was exquisite. Funny you mention the DB10-ness of the pass, that chip was also DB10-esque. Like one of his goals when he played for Ajax after running in behind and lobbing the keeper. Even that first touch to get the ball was quality at that pace.

Rohit

It's an incredible goal. In our collective frustration and expectation from the team and the manager, not appreciated enough.

Don Pacifico

Sicario2 I'd be open to seeing him start at CF as a rotational option.
