Dom match goers said his lack of stamina was very apparent towards the end.

Clrnc exactly. Its about getting the best available XI on the pitch while managing the work load across the season. For that reason he's ready for more. People are saying he's not ready for 90 minutes well ok, we have 5 subs to use. Rarely see Trossard play 90 in that position either.

Claudius if we can't get 3 points vs Chelsea then Arteta isn't the manager I think he is. I fully expect us to control that and not play into their strengths. They are a team with one gear, we should be able to tactically nullify that.

    He needs to be managed carefully. We have seen Cesc thrive and we have also seen Wilshere lose a promising career. That said I think players should have that feeling of being rewarded. He deserves a start when we are missing players, will only drive him to get better.

    There is a space in between 10 minutes here and there and play 90 minutes every week. A few starts while Ode is injured wont over use Nwarei too young.

    Personally I'm more worried about a drop in confidence (from a bad game) than I am from overuse. Which is why I think continuing to build him up is the way forward. 30 mins in the 2nd half vs Southampton and a full start vs Preston.

      MistaT this sounds like a plan to me even though he does look like he a confident young man

      This is an inevitability. Something every player has to get through.

        Qwiss yep, it's more a question of how he responds, which is one mark of a player destined for the top

        Has to start the next game in CL and then see if he’s ready for Liverpool.

        I don’t give a fuck he’s 17, last nite he showed more personality than most of the players in difficult circumstances.

        Sometimes in life you got to take a risk. Do it Mikel. Put your balls on the table and play this kid. He’s good enough and we need him.

        May need something to force Arteta’s hand, but this guy needs to play. He’ll be the best player at the club within a year

          Just the way he moves and the poise he has on the ball. It’s a level above everyone else

            Qwiss probably 2-3 years away. But worth 20 or minutes at least against bottom half teams at this point. Especially when we are missing all of our on the ball processors in attack

              Don’t see why he should be held back - look at Saka and Yamal at his age. Ok don’t over play him but don’t only give him snippets

                You need to build up his match stamina first. Doubt he can last a full 90 vs PL opposition.
