Reiss Nelson: 2019/20 Performances

[The_Playmaker]

From the little I've seen of him the only aspect that he trusts himself with is his goal scoring ability. He's not even attempting any dribbles for whatever reason. I mean can someone go tell him that its okay to lose the ball, Xhaka does it every other match in much more critical areas of hte pitch. Could it be a remnant from a couple of years ago when Wenger was playing him as wing back, he's just too safe with the ball.

He needs time and games with less pressure like cup games. Just think about when Gnabry burst onto the scene. He was probably just as safe if not more.

What is also contributing is that if he does lose the ball, he is playing for a team that could end up in giving a goal away off of him losing possession. Our defensive set up while we attack is a shambles and the way Emery sets up his midfield to win the ball back doesn't help either.

Agree, and we could give him time in the last 20minutes when we have the match sealed up, if that ever happens. A loan move to Hoffenheim was the wrong option though, we should've sent him to the championship or a lower half Bundesliga team where he would've be under lesser scrutiny.

Been much better tonight. The goal defo brought him some confidence.

What? He’s playing !!!!! I had no idea, what game is on tonight please?

He’s been excellent. A constant threat. I’m doing a cheeky scouting mission on him and Nketiah

But was substituted after 60min?

Yeah? ...

He had a great game. Tbh when he was subbed off England lost a lot of impetus.

It’s not just players who are having nightmares that get subbed you know . Also, Boothroyd is clueless.

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Yeah 60 minute sub sounds like a pre-planned sub given how much he played in the earlier game.

Unpopular opinion: Reiss Nelson is actually quite slow at this level. Everything we see of him in under whatever level does not translate to PL level.

Probably an accurate opinion.

Way too light weight, about 8 loans away from PL level

 

[malik180]

Not ready or not good enough at this level. I look at Willock and I look at him and there is such disparity in their performances. Already missing iwobi atleast he could carry the ball forward and not lose it

 

[UpTheGunnerz]

Never understood the hype tbh. Looks average

 

[bojed]

He should consider himself lucky if Woking want to sign him.

 

[Taylor Gang Gunners]

0.5/10 cameo. Should’ve went with Martinelli.

 

[RacingPhoton]

Was so bad today. Didn't really follow him during his loan. Not sure what the hype was about.

 

[MutableEarth]

Looked really weak when challenged IMO. Think people overstating how bad he was.

 

[Pepes blue pill]

was beyond awful but no decent manager would bring him on in a game like that, cant judge the lad yet under this clown of a manager, feel he will come good, has the talent
