U21 Vs Arsenal

[Moshe Gariani]

Much of the hype came from the Club and The Argus which raised expectations among many supporters, as you've said.
I believe he didn't have a future with Madrid as the 'C Team' was going to cease to exist, if I remember correctly.

I'm not writing him off yet by any means, but as far as I can see (highlights and reports), he's not standing out among his fellow U21's.

Illustrates how fine the lines are in player development and career achievement. His footballing "CV" screams potential but will it be realised? Apparently not been a good few months for him.

Though I agree to an extent, I do believe it's harsh to judge us on our first season at this level. The players aren't used to playing at this level, and we're slowly bringing in better players. The fact Tilley scored suggests we are playing very young players. A result at Arsenal, who have players like Wellbeck starting, also isn't a fair reflection on the progress

Getting a thumping from Arsenal isnt something to base too much of an opinion on, but for accuracy it is not our first season and the players have only known this level, so I am not sure why 'they arent used to it' and the 'bringing in better players' are already here and playing in the team so no obvious impact whatsoever, Tilly and Mulomby were the only youth team players whilst all the others were professionals whereas Arsenal were full of 17 & 18 years olds.

For me it is an absolute example that we arent bringing in kids that otherwise would go to the top teams we are bringing in like for like but just from further afield and your falling for it ..........................

I remember watching the home game at The Amex a few months ago and noted Kristian Bielik of Arsenal to be class above everyone that evening. Bielik scored that night and scored again today. Sounds like he's a massive Wenger project for the future.

Harper subbed, again.

1. Shit
2. Injured
3. Unift

Have you ever seen him play?

 

[Don Tmatter]

Am i right in thinking he's only played 90 mins for the U21's once?

See post #20.

Have you ever seen him play?

No and don't want to either.

No.

He's played ninety minutes three times: away at Wolves and Swansea, and at home to Fulham.

I have and he does look shit(at the moment) Regularly subbed first. I'm hoping it's because he is behind everyone in terms of fitness and match sharpness because he is poor along with the two black strikers we have.

I went to a few games last year and i have to say that question marks should be over Rusk. From what i have witnessed we have gone backwards. Even Tiley doesn't look anything special. Walton the same. Not one player looks anywhere near first team action.

The Arsenal goals in November were scored by Ben Sheaf and Donyell Malen; his goal yesterday was his first for the Gunners.

It is Albion's second season at this level.

Arsenal's first goal (after two minutes) was scored by Reiss Nelson. He then set up Bielik for the second, and Mavididi for the third....after seventeen minutes.

Reiss Nelson was 16 in December; he doesn't start his scholarship until next summer.
