PL: Bournemouth vs Arsenal | Thursday 26th December | KO: 15:00 | Amazon Prime

[LG10]

How can a professional footballer over hit such a simple cross so badly?

 

[freeglennhelder2]

OMG these crosses are driving me out of my mind!!!!!!!!

 

[Lady_Gooner]

Nelson has been really bad

 

[field442]

Has he ever been good for us?

He hasn't been good outside of youth football. Simply hasn't made the step up.

 

[HairSprayGooners]

Our youth academy players have ****ed us including. They shouldn't be on the pitch. I havent seen anyone play as bad as nelson in an arsenal shirt for a long time

Oh behave would you, nobody else can realistically play left back Saka doing the best he can. Have a day off.

 

[ThisFather]

Feel sorry for Nelson. Nowhere near Premier League ready yet we put in the deep end. All these youngsters bar Martinelli are the same yet we love to hype them. Then they play and get abused.

 

[DanDare]

Clear lack of quality in the wings

Pepe should come on

This game's ours to win you feel if we just take a couple of our many chances we can create

 

[BigPoppaPump]

No more youth players man, I hate peoples obsession with them they never add anything to the team. Don't play youth unless they're Fabregas/Wilshere level.

 

[Jasard]

One of the big asks in the summer from fans was to let the youngsters get a chance but let's be honest they need to step back. Not that we have anyone else beyond Pepe.

 

[Gooner416]

Saka had the best cross of the game, as per usual, not a single yellow shirt near the dangerous ball. Nelson, on the other hand...

 

[GDeep™]

Has he ever been good for us?

In first team football? No.

 

[bingobob]

Emery out

 

[Get These Hands]

We need to hit it low and across goal. More chance of finding a player than the woeful crossing we've seen.

 

[CaseUteinberger]

Our youth academy players have ****ed us including. They shouldn't be on the pitch. I havent seen anyone play as bad as nelson in an arsenal shirt for a long time

Have you seen Saka play? :frustrated:

 

[krengon]

Encouraging first half.. Love how many times we’ve found Özil between the lines.. End product has been ****, especially some of these crosses.

 

[razörist]

Nelson not even trying at this point. That take-on ‘attempt’ had no belief.

That was a youth football take-on

 

[Flying Okapis]

Absolutely gutted with that first half, the performance is good just the finishing is awful, I liked what I was seeing but I was thinking please dont concede as I them to believe in this system!

Pepe on for Nelson in my opinion, Nelson hasnt hasn bad but his goal threat isnt really there.

Really want to win this game, Arteta definitely has me on side.

 

[Bloodbather]

Must say that Saka and Nelson are bang average at best. Hoe our academy can produce something better that this.

Saka is having his worst game so far, shown promise in the past playing in his actual position and he's only 18 still.

Nelson, on the other and, has to be better at this point. He's 20 and played a season on loan at Hoffenheim. He's not showing anything.

 

[bojed]

For some reason, I'm quite satisfied with our game play.

The team looks dynamic.

 

[Marjorie]

So frustrating after a bright start
