One for Arsenal fans. The young lad Willock looks like he is going to Newcastle on loan. What does he do? Is he any good?

runs around a lot, decent enough technically but a bit lightweight for the premier league when he has played, fared better in the Europa league where a bit more time

decent enough prospect but doesnt seem to have developed much the last few years (no real surprise at our place)

Sounds like a loan is a good move from Arsenal's point of view. He gets game time at someone else's risk and you see if he can improve given a run of games.

Thanks for that. I'll be doing a transfer day WhatsApp with my son later and having an idea of what he is about will help us both as he is not exactly household.

Mainly been used as a sub since he arrived last summer. Seems quite pacy, not really produced much yet, probably could do with a confidence boost. Scored his first goal in the win against Cardiff a couple of weeks ago, so maybe that will help him.

His older Matt brother plays for Gillingham. I believe he has a younger brother Joe but I don't know anything about him.

You are talking about Chris Willock aren't you?

In a nutshell No imo.Lacks the quality Arsenal are looking for, so should fit in well at Newcastle.

5.4 for Saka

Exciting game though.

 

[USER1999]

What a goal.

 

[fundy]

Long overdue

Good stuff from Pepe

 

[paddyc]

Get in always said he's class act young Pepe?

 

[USER1999]

I am slowly coming round to Pepe. He is no 72m player, but that isn't his fault. He is however, not the dud that I maybe thought he was. I am OK with giving him more time.

Slowly but surely things are happening at a faster pace throughout the team (bar a couple of exceptions), he is definitely benefitting from this and looking far better

How on earth is Matt Ryan injured already????? What happens when players get to London colney lol

 

[fundy]

get out of the football club and take Willian with you ffs Clown

I thought that was a harsh red but definite yellow and a pen. He's chasing the wolves attacker and running normally. He doesn't stick his leg out to whip him up.

doesnt try and play the ball so as soon as he gives a foul it has to be red, youd think clown feet would know the rules by now the amount of times hes done it

What can you say!Never looked in trouble all half and now a mountain to climb. Was it my eyes cause I didn't see much in the way of contact from the Clown.

Walton just clarified that if he’d of gone for a tackle and fouled him it would be Yellow and Pen, but because he never tried to play the ball it’s Red and a Pen.?‍

His knee caught the attackers foot by accident.

It's a stupid rule. He hasn't tried to play the ball nor tried to blatantly whip him. If he does that he gets a yellow and they still get the pen ?‍♂It's hilarious.

As much as I'd like to blame Luiz, I dont think its his fault.

Flipping heck, 47 minutes gone, I thought it was safe to go feed the cats, and get ready for the second half. How wrong can you be.
