Done very well after the red car reverse. Was very shaken at the time and wondered if it would effect him.
Very small point but good reaction from the players questioning the ref.
I have confidence he will be a regular starter next season.
He looks really good.

Absolutely love the way he took the goal. The crucial point for me were his first couple of moves thereā¦ Before he touched the ball I think he smelled the goal already and knew where he was going. Right away didnāt lose time to calm the ball, took the pass with his first touch and at the same moment made his move forward.
Thatās where he basically made the goal. If he only took an extra second the defence would be in a better shape and the chance would be gone. Some players have the skill, but theyāre just so slow to realise opportunies and spaces on the pitch. ESR is definitely no one of those. A brilliant football brain.
Just hope he continues with the same attitude and hopefully doesnāt become lazy when he gets his first proper contract.

I really like the kid but itās still a small sample size.
Iām hoping we sign a quality 10 in the summer, that way can have proven quality and a talented kid as options.

I wonder if he will get the #10 if Ozil leaves
If Smith Rowe is a starting player next season weāve failed on the market again.

Iād rather ESR from what Iāve seen so far than a flopped Brandt or a fat, neutered Isco.

You could have said the same thing about Saka last season but I for one am glad we didnāt compromise on his games by trying to make Pepe work.
I get your point though.

We need a signing for competition anyways, fuck Arsenal fans get hyped up and sucked in so fast when it comes to young players or a signing etc.

apparently has a goal or assist on average every 73 minutes he has playedā¦that is really good numbers.
Point is we still have competition.
Yes they are, but itās also an insanely small sample size.

No doubt we need better midfield options

not disagreeing but he has done well no one can take that away from him. ESR first and foremost has to say fit that is one major worry because at the moment if we start depending on him and he gets injured we are shafted again and he gets injured a LOT.

Definitely need a cam this winter or summer. Never been consistent with fitness and such we need some depth in tbat department but I dont want some waste of space I want young and ready to prove themselves. Smith rowe can play on the wing as well so he will always get game time aslong as he stays fit.
The world of attacking midfielders is a lot greater than Brandt or Isco.

Iām talking about players that are within reach of our limited scope

Meh. I think our scope is broader than you think. We will get, or have gotten, rid of a lot of deadwood this summer.
If Guendouzi makes amends with Arteta, and Maitland-Niles isnāt sold, we can (and should?) direct our available funds towards an attacking midfielder. Not too worried about the funds.

I donāt see Guendouzi ever coming back but I think we could have some players with real value to sell this summer and if the football economy is back in good enough shape we could actually do it.
Guendouzi
Torreira
Pepe
Lacazette
Nketiah
Guendouzi and Nketiah are both very young, Pepe and Torreira still young enough, and weāll still get something for a player like Lacazette. I think they will all have markets.
