I actually think this wing-back thing with easing in first team could be good thing. They ll learn tracking back and playing defense and getting in physically with opponents much easier there. If you throw them right in midfield and attack after couple of good moves attacking wise, you let them off easy for bad defending. It happened from Ox to Iwobi and numerous others. Not so much pressure on wing-backs as some other positions tactically wise so you can focus on simple things first. Only reason why Ox thrives there.

To be fair, until Debuchy returned we didn't really have anyone else to play RWB in the EL. Hopefully now we'll see more of him up forward (Theo move over).

Iwobi has improved a lot defensively and workrate wise this season compared to previous seasons, without playing as full back......

Nothing wrong with him playing wingback. It’s an attacking position in Wenger’s teams anyways.
His time will come I don’t understand the desperation to force the kid now. Team is a few injuries away where we would have no choice anyways

Some international U23 tournament we were invited to this year. It's semi serious.
Pleguezuelo played LWB, and Dragomir/Da Silva were the CMs. Willock and Nelson were the wide AMs behind Akpom. Jeorge Bird said Sheaf wasgood.

Why Wenger doing this. This guy is very talented sticking him as wing back in just criminal

League is very weak
Minutes at wing back is a development base in senior football before he is obviously unleashed in his favourite role.

Criminal ffs play him forward
Country: Iceland
The good news that there is zero excuse for Wenger not to start a few youngsters(5-6 youngsters) in the final game of the group. In their preferred position

For a career as a forward? What positions were Messi, Ronaldo and Neymar's 'development base' ?- Thread starter

If he keeps that shot on the ground it's a goal IMO. What a goal it would have been.
He would have had more chance of scoring a goal for us if he started and played forward. There's a few players who could easily have started today and given a good performance. AMN was good, Nelson and Nketiah would have done well, Willock's had a good EL so far and would have impressed. DaSilva should have gotten a start at LWB, Debuchy should have played RWB and swapped with Chambers if you had to go with experience for that spot.
There were options IMO.

I watched Nelson play for the England U19s the other day (playing alongside Sancho, Nketiah and Willock behind them). It was so freeing to see him playing in his natural position. He was back to himself, dribbling past everyone and looking dangerous. He played as the left-sided #10 vs Porto and........well, the goal is above. Interestingly, Willock and Akpom are involved in that goal and all started on the bench tonight.
Nelson could do a lot of damage if given free reign to play in his position. He's playing which is still better than not playing, but he could be far better and more dangerous if played further forward. At this point, there's no reason to play the likes of Giroud, Iwobi or Walcott in those advanced positions ahead of him, especially not based on performance. Welbeck, I didn't mind too much, but even then - it should have been Nelson IMO. He deserves those minutes in a forward position. More than Nketiah to an extent, even though he did well to score v Norwich. Ideally, I'd have played both of them.

Nothing Wrong With Me
Tbh he should have been doing that today. We only needed a point to win the group, as it is we lost and still won the group. What were we ever going to learn by playing Elneny, Coq, Welbeck & Giroud, we know everything about them. Wenger misses chances like this too often, now watch him miss it again in the final game.
