Nwaneri & Lewis-Skelly Are READY.

[@TheGoonerverse]

Would you start Nwaneri Saturday?

[@dandreehlers9817]

Jip...how long is timber, white and raya out?

[@IbbyB.]

I'd continue with Trossard and really see how he does in a game where we dominate possession in the 8/10. Nwaneri definitely should get around 15/20 if we're comfortably up at the end.

[@karthikkamaraj1606]

I would start Nwaneri!

[@poopsiclemcgee1134]

Nwaneri has that thing where he seems to glide more than he runs. Idk if that makes sense, he looks so comfortable and confident on the pitch. I just get a real sense he could be special.

[@amakky1989]

He has some Wilshere style in his game

[@TheGoonerverse]

Makes complete sense!

[@gladiatorscoops4907]

@@amakky1989 yeh thats exactly who I was thinking of

[@jakejohnson3908]

Hey James, I think it was important for saka to play this game so that him and nwaneri gain that understanding that odegaard has!

[@Georgio29]

Lewis Skelly really impressed me with how quick he could turn 😅

[@WillGunn15]

6:23 I never really understood why a lot of fans lost faith in kiwior, he played extremely well last year and showed some life on the left side when there was nothing there. Getting cooked by Sane sucks for sure, but by and large he is a really solid defender. I don’t mind seeing him get minutes.

[@masonasa7009]

Kiwior has and always being so solid, he’s a freaking centre back and wherever he plays in his natural cb position where he’s trained all his life he performs solid, he’s only poor. When played out of position which is normal, mean look back at all the games he played CB he was always good

[@VensystemsUk]

was a major step up from holding when saliba was injured, and that was as RCB. He needs a chance to rest Gabriel - maybe build a partnership with White as RCB, if timber/tomi covers RLB

[@imranahmed6598]

I was more impressed with lewis skelly, baller, Nwaneri is a talent but this needs to nurtured properly, he will get even better with more games

[@Sandlasenkosi]

I think he should work on his duel winning

[@masonasa7009]

I was really impressed with Lewis looks mature under pressure

[@TheGoonerverse]

Lewis-Skelly looked fantastic! Both are going to the top!

[@jacobward9163]

I think the opposite. Nwaneri in the first half was the best player on the pitch even without the goals in my opinion. Both looked great though

[@IbbyB.]

I was disappointed that we didn't find Nwaneri more, but my god the most impressive thing about him is the way he just glides and his ball retention. Knows when to up the gears and just pass back. Very clever, Arteta will love him. And poor Porter, the one player we kept back for the counter was the slowest player alive, Uncle Jorginho 😂 It was fun watching him trying to get back haha. Good night all around. Nothing amazing, but just a lovely night.

[@tobyladeoghenetega4793]

Watching him try his best to track back wad comedy😂

[@benjamindadzie9657]

😂😂😂😂😂 Jorginho was tracking back

[@SHUTUPNOWW9360]

Jorginho was really good on the ball today. Cut through bolton like 7 times

[@TheGoonerverse]

Yeah you’re right top performance

[@luvhenry]

how arteta gets experience with the youngsters to protect them coach them and give them confidence is so amazing. Mikel has probably been very battle ready - this guy moved 3 countries in about 5 years. He came in after 8-2 - I don't think that is lost on him either, experienced or younger, you have to help each other as you fight for the badge. It was so good to see the youngsters also have the mentality - their evolution on the tactical side is happening as we speak with all of the coaching we give them, but coaching is just behind the scenes, the player has to make decisions that their technique allows them. Mikel and Jorginho are the best examples, maybe limited physically, but they can coach how to make those decisions for players. Great stuff again James!

[@jerryigbinoba9221]

MLS was the best player among all the very impressive academy players. He can comfortably play multiple positions. His injury was just a shame; hopefully, it was nothing serious.

[@DGeeR]

So so impressed with NWanieri. His ease and smoothness on the ball, and his eye for goal . Loved the way he takes responsibility . Perfect understudy for Odegaard .

[@ieshagibson9926]

kaccuri was brought to the club by the same scout who spotted fabregas...

[@bhushanverlekar6804]

Ethan Nwaneri reminds me of young Jack Wilshere so much...

Nothing in style but v much so in confidence

[@ikeman9784]

I'll absolutely play nwaneri against Leicester. Along side Rice and Partey will do great. Kiwior looking good too. I wont even mind him coming alongside saliba if Gabriel need a break...

[@livelearnandteach7402]

He played some youngsters but also used subs to spread minutes around the senior players. I liked that.

[@Abc123ert56]

Nwaneri's first touch, ball carrying and decision making is arguably already the best in the team at 17

[@bread-number_2]

First touch - havertz Ball carrying - saka/martinelli/odegaard Decision making - same or equal to saliba / saka He's definitely up there in terms of the qualities you mentioned but i think we should give our seniors a bit more credit

[@Abc123ert56]

@@bread-number_2 first touch he's already the best, his touch is perfect. Ball carrying Ødegaard is good but not nearly as good as Nwaneri. I think his only competition is Saka and even then it's a 50/50. Decision making he's on par with Saka, Rice and Havertz

Don’t let them silence you cause you’re right lol. He’ll be on of our best players in a couple years time

[@STAYGOONED]

Nwaneri has similar qualities to Odegaard, the way he recieves the ball and turns in tight areas, his link up with Saka at times was Odegaard-esque. And he took both of his chances really well. I'd start him against Leicester.

[@brady338]

Thank God we have 6-7 LBs they are dropping like flies 😢

[@samtresidder7198]

Love to see this channel growing so quickly James, you absolutely deserve it.

[@MaisuDonim]

Thank you James, i always enjoy your Arsenal analyses. it's like attending Goonerversity!!!!

[@kurt9034]

Had a rough day at work and on the drive home I was able to relax and enjoy this video. Thank you very much James.

[@jonathanward1585]

Sterling looked really sharp.. I think he will be like Havertz once he gain some confidence he will be a goal scoring threat. I would start him for the weekend and rest Saka for PSG.

[@Colossus-k8u]

Lewis-Skelly, Josh Nichols, Ethan Nwaneri. All played well. Even that Maldini Kacurri. Looks like a UNIT😂

[@isaacchebem1889]

No one's talking about josh nichols, such a great performance from him

[@jideadetunji4103]

Was looking for this comment. 100% agree

[@coolerdude42]

He was really good, but he was one of the players loosest with the ball. There was a period where you can see Kiwior not really wanting to pass to him later in the match. Still a real live wire! Needs more coaching but talented

[@masonasa7009]

He was nervous

[@ARSENALFUTURE-tz2tu]

Hi James excellent content as per usual. Could you please do a show about Salah-Eddine. Me and the guys in our circle want to know a bit more about him. And we feel that you are the guy with the knowledge James. We would be grateful if you did it.👊🏿👊🏽👊🏻

[@masonasa7009]

I have been asking about sallah eddine for ages, I mean he was the most excellent in pre season and now he doesn’t even get on the bench I mean it’s wild, I see him seldom in first team training but he’s not involved why ? Please James next time your up there just ask Arteta about him

[@StephenCarson150]

James did you photo shot that pitcher 😂 looking swarf keep up good work Come on arsenal !!!

[@DavidKeith-f9b]

Hi James great show mate surely Ethan and myles need to play on Saturday great talent.

[@markpotter544]

Very good game by both but certainly there are areas of improvement for both, particularly for skelly, who btw defensively was grea

[@earlencollings2422]

I think that's Ethan's super power, his finishing. It's crazy how often he gets into goal scoring positions. Myles was my MOTM though.

[@reggieperry4606]

The other reason I like the starting lineup is that it keeps the senior players who didn’t get work on Sunday in the game to keep the timing and match fitness.

[@bigbrrrrrrrrr]

i knew ethan would be good when i first seen him last season. he will shine remmeber this

[@coolerdude42]

There were several experiments that needed to be done this game, and almost every single one was positive, so thats what im happiest about. Ethan & MLS - how would they do with first team football? They were the highlights and the look very close to premier league ready Josh Nichols - same question. good game, but still needs a little more work. Needs a bit more coaching and more power in defense. Sterling - Can he integrate well with the rest of the first team and show his qualities? This game really highlighted his capabilities. Great runs, good takeons, good positioning for his and the havertz goal. Calafiori - still solid, yet a big maverick on the ball. Hes getting very comfortable, but it does leave a weakness at the back when he goes. Kiwior - real solid in Saliba's role, the calm to Calafiori's storm. But also was aggressive when shifted to lb, making some exciting runs. Very flexible tactically, good backup. Jesus - Can he rediscover his form? First half was tough to watch, but 2nd half he started to grow into the game. Lovely nutmeg against 2 defenders even when he lost a shoe to setup the Havertz goal. Rice, Saka, and Jorginho the stalwarts to knit those questions together. Real real positive night

[@ahmerdbelloafc]

Lewis Kelly is exactly like Rico Lewis so intelligent

[@ebasski4958]

Kiwior was excellent.

[@keenonroper8968]

Genuine question...Sterling got in behind quite often. We keep saying that Martinelli and the left side is not clicking however is it a case of Martinelli not willing to run in behind or the inverted wing back not willing to play that pass that Zinny/Lewis-Skelly will play

[@UMirxa12]

Four debutants, another three players making their first start for the club, and two players scoring their first ever Arsenal goals. It was an excellent night for Arsenal, all told xD
