What a player. Back to back worldies. What a left foot. Just stunning really.

daredevil

He's the new Robben. Doesn't quite have the pace to sustain speed over the long distance, but anywhere near the edge of the box, this guy is going to score.

flobaba

The crazy thing is you know it's his thing that curler. And he will only get better with it's execution. The boy is going to be a huge problem

Segway

Unbelievable talent. Wow!!

Claudius

Mirth credit to Arteta for investing in them. He cleared the squad for Nwaneri. And backed MLS despite having 4 left backs ahead of him

Gazza M

Claudius thats a generous take. his hand has been forced due to absent senior players, like it was when saka and ESR in the early.

Coombs

Gazza M a miserly take

Claudius

Gazza M you’re joking, right? Did you watch the pre-season? When Saka was still recovering from Euros and Arteta could choose amongst ESR, Nelson, Vieira and Nwaneri at right wing, who was his first choice? He could’ve kept one or more of those other guys. He got rid of them and backed Nwaneri in the rotation.

This is the most obvious thing and trying to act like a manager who has spent the last two years working with this player and is now suddenly surprised by him is inaccurate.

Gazza M

Almost every youngster gets their chance through injuries to players ahead of them.

Sicario2

Wow this kid is unreal. Think he’s the best kid I’ve seen at Arsenal in Emirates era ever.

Claudius

Sicario2 you think he’s already better than Wilshere and Fabregas?

Sicario2

Claudius at their respective ages, talent wise yes.

Claudius

Fabregas was 17 when Spain senior team first called him up.

RocktheCasbah

Claudius and ended the Arsenal career of perhaps our greatest ever central midfielder.

Mirth

Claudius also bossed Roy Keane and Scholes in the Community Shield at 17.

Claudius

daredevil his close control is insane. Ball sticks to him like glue. I just never worry that he will lose the ball in traffic

Gazza M

Claudius he's what I hoped nelson would be. Nelson broke through with that wonderful tight ball control and quickness off the mark as well, but he just didn't have the killer instinct this kid has.

RocktheCasbah

Mirth and a Champions League final two years later.

Claudius

Fabregas story didn’t go the way I wanted but Fabregas at 17 is still probably the most surprisingly precocious talent I’ve seen as an Arsenal fan

flobaba

Claudius that eye for a pass was special. Incredible talent. I will never forget that at around that time ManYu also got Anderson. And one of my ManYu buddies told me he believed Anderson was going to be better than Fabregas. It was the second worst take I'd ever heard. Second only to Saka should play as back up left back (in whatever situation or context, ever). I've never let him hear the last of it. I'm that kind of guy. Right Quince?

Tactics

flobaba I'd have agreed with you if he had Rodrygo or Wirtz in front of him. Our current starting options aren't good enough to be automatic starters. Therefore, start Nwaneri and let one of Trossard or Martinelli be the super sub.

Nwaneri could easily do a Yamal or Cubarsi.

Claudius

Tactics he’s also just coming off injury. Let’s use him with caution. This is a long term investment

I think this is a bit of a weird take when we've just walloped the champions with Tross on one side and Martinelli on the other. I've been as down as anyone on Trossard this season, but given a run of games he's played himself back into form and was excellent yesterday. Martinelli had an assist and on another day would have bagged a couple of goals - and gives so much defensively.

We need to be careful with Nwaneri, given the recent injury and his age, cos if he goes down again before Saka comes back, then we have a problem.

Tactics

Claudius I hear you but he seems ready physically. Looks more robust and stronger physically compared to Fabregas at the same age. We don't have a lot of time to feck around, the title is on the line and he could be the difference. Play him.
