Sicario2 - Tier 1 it sure is. Also keeping in mind Saka too who has been nothing short of fantastic for us.

Nwaneri though looks like he can be an undoubted talisman for club and country

    DiabyKungFu Not obvious to me that MLS is any less of a prospect than Nwaneri is.

    Doesn't really matter who's better at their age: main things for me are that both are exceptional, we appear to be giving them some chances this season, and also the senior players seem to be actively mentoring and looking after them. The culture we've got in the squad should really help them.

      He seems to have that instinctive understanding of where space is, which combined with his touch which seems good, makes the game look easy. Weighs passes well, looks composed in front of goal and will probably be quick and strong. Exciting talent.

      Was a good match, one aspect which I think he will hopefully develop in is the decision making. His second goal the keeper had come so far over to him that I think he should have slipped it wide to our players waiting for pretty much an empty net. I get it he's probably just wanting to make the most of his chance in such a game and he scored even if it was a bit of a keeper error. But that decision making is what separates good players from those higher quality.

      Again I can understand why in the circumstances he did that but you have to be able to refuse an outcome for you to help the team. I think Arteta even referred to the fact it's good it went in as his team mates might have had something to say😂 Anyway a minor thing in this context and hopefully something he will be able to demonstrate over time.

        awooga83 Mikel alluded to this post game, saying would’ve been interesting if he’d missed that.
        As a process guy, he will probably scold the kid for that. Show him some video and tell him the pass is the better option.

          I have to say, I didn't see anything in that match for us to rave on Ethan yet. Not exactly Wilshere regen (though I hear Dowman in the academy is exactly that).

          However, he's a super tidy and intelligent player with real calmness about his game. I think he should be starting matches in the PL when we can.

          incredible. i like the way we are bringing him through and seeing more and more of him.

          again, on this point of Arteta not trusting youth - we haven't seen a youth player like this since Saka and co broke through. the 360 turn in the box, the 20 yard shot, making himself available for the ball. this guy is already more useful than Nelson and Vieira.

          He will be starting many matches BW, he is Wilshere/Cesc level of talent. The way he took the game when he came on today was insane.

            Looks ready for 20 mins at the end of games.

            they main thing about Nwaneri is he looks like a contributor, not a project. he is able to come on in big games and situations with high stakes, and be an important player

              Xcdude24 reminded me of early wilshere in terms of his impact today

              Can't believe Wishere is old enough to have been making his mark on the youth teams around the time this kid was born. Madness.

                Kid came on in a tight game against spurs and when we needed a goal against Leicester. He’s not getting 5 mins at 3-0 up.

                Ive no doubt he will be the best attacking midfielder in the world in a few years.

                His passing is other worldly - uses side and degrees of back spin to absolute perfection

                  More than anything he gets the crowd hyped up like the Ox, Wilshere, Walcott etc did when they were breaking through. A useful quality to have when the game sometimes gets away from us
