The two things that impressed me the most, even more than the composure in front of goal and the vision for a pass, was his press resistance and the way he rode challenges. I'm old enough to still feel furious at the way Jack Wilshere did not fulfill his promise because he wasn't taught properly how to ride challenges, so he held on to the ball longer than he should have and repeatedly got fouled. I don't see those shortcomings in this young man. Mark my words. In three years, if his development continues at current pace, Nwaneri will be contending for the #10 role for England over players like Foden or Bellingham. The best #10s are adaptable controllers and relational in nature. Foden is a game winner (you need those in your team) and so is Bellingham (prodigiously so), and as such, they are at their best at the end of a play. Nwanery creates relationships, and even if he has an eye for a finish (man, does he), he is better at weaving plays and bringing players into them. Making them look better. Last night you saw senior players giving him the ball when he wasn't even showing for it, and he knew how they played and where they wanted the ball. His relation with Saka showed that. Anyway, I better stop with this irrational exuberance over a child who hasn't played a serious minute of top flight football.
Nwaneri showed a bit of class, but let's not get ahead of ourselves... most of his passes were backward of sideways to an open player. The kid has potential, but there is still much to learn and the supporters will turn on him if he does not perform. I wouldn't expose him too much against real quality opposition, he's not quite Fabregas quality yet (when Fabregas was 16 years old), not by a long shot.
He seems so sharp and comfortable in tight areas. Tidy touch and passing as well. I think he's definitely good enough to provide that creative spark we lost when Odegaard got injured. Even if you don't want to start him, at least give him the second half if we're already winning in the first.
You can tell he is studying and learning from Odegaard on the training ground. Same moves same mimicking! Absolutely delicious and gorgeous football from Ethan! You already have all of us in awe having such a talent representing and playing for my club. We are right behind you! Keep growing with the team!
@@sundayosita588I heard his mom is Irish Technical skills are speciality of Irish decent players like scholes, Rooney, Kane I think he got the Nigerian flair and physic and Irish technical skills
We are used to seeing Saka-White-Odegaard triangle but in this game we saw the Hale End academy triangle(Saka-Nwaneri-Nichols) build up to Rice's goal🎉🎉🎉❤❤... Am so impressed 🎉🎉❤
He moves more like jack wilshire or foden than odegaard. The way they run with the ball past people low to the ground and you can never get it off them.. I'll start him against Leicester without a doubt. Give him 60-70 mins. Let's see what he can do against the physicality of a prem opponent..
The biggest stamp of approval Nwaneri gets is something that's easy to overlook - it's apparent how much his teammates trust him, and don't treat him like a starstruck youngster going through the motions
I see alot of odegaard in his football but he could be bullish and more bould and use his physic as a black male athlete the boy is good the next starboy
@@neducationalmusic4738 Yeah that drive through midfield odegaard doesnt quite have that. He can very easily play on the wing and his game wouldn't even have to change much. If saka ever has to come off you could see his linkup on that left with odegaard going insane.
Starting role against Leicester city will play a huge role in his development. With the support of Partey and Rice in midfield, he's good to go. Let's unlock this potential finally
I say start him against Leicester. With Partey and Rice next to him he'll have the support. Bring in Trossard if needed. And then start Trossard against PSG. We need to keep rotating so we don't burn out our players.
Nigeria better go try convincing Nathan Nwaneri to play for the senior National Team NOW, before England uses him in qualifiers and then dumped for main competition, ultimately ruining his national careerer.
@@LoonieGoon3r he is still very young. Depends on how he progress. anyway he has to decide by himself who he wants to play for. but I always feel is only right to represent the country u were born in or u grow up in
I think if he’s back again into first team start as early the next game, he’ll be even much better. That role wasn’t for Trossad and Arteta should have brought Nwaneri on once Odegaard became unavailable.
That has been my observation too. He does not seem to be confident with those little intelligent passes between the lines. But he is very young and will definitely be encouraged to vary his play. He does all the other things smoothly and the Ozil, Odegaard final passes are his next step. Go check put that Tottenham kid called “Mickey Moore”, he is more of that creative type as compared to out Ethan. 👍🤞
Good player..i think his decision making will improve if he manage to get more minutes..he need to improve to start a match with arsenal in future..hope he can success with arsenal..
Can we put some respect on jesus for choosing to not tap strelings cross for either allowong ethan to score or because he knew it would mess the keeper up Proper player
@@TheKh65 good positioning and props to the tactics, he didnt stand out that much honestly, not for all that hype. Good player and very promising, good game but not first team material yet
@euri39 that makes no sense. Check his pass completion, his ball progressions, his passes in the final third, and the fact that he scored 2 goals then tell me again he was "ok". I don't want to overhype like he is cesc 2.0, but to say he did "ok" is downright egregious 🤣 we don't have anybody else who can do an "Odegaard" role in the current squad, so I am not opposed to playing him at home against leicester
Can't help but it seems that he plays his game similarly to our captain too - the way he moves and passes the ball
Yes he has some qualities similar to Odegaard Arteta has to give hime time in premier league
And he will help Saka to play
Defo some similarities. Odegaard been acting as a mentor to him last season too, he's learning from the best.
Totally agree, how he moves is very similar
The two things that impressed me the most, even more than the composure in front of goal and the vision for a pass, was his press resistance and the way he rode challenges.

Arteta's answer for the captain injured is right under his nose. Keep playing the kid!
Sure, looking forward to seeing him against Leicester

He is still very young and easily can Burnt-out..
@@zziicckk01I hope you watched him today vs Leicester and the impact he had after coming on, he's top class and looks unfazed by the big stage.
@@SuperBlackhawk29 - he's a talented kid, no doubt... but let's stop the Cesc Fabregas comparisons, Nwaneri is not the finished product yet.
His little turn reminds me of our Captain
He seems so sharp and comfortable in tight areas. Tidy touch and passing as well.
I think he's definitely good enough to provide that creative spark we lost when Odegaard got injured. Even if you don't want to start him, at least give him the second half if we're already winning in the first.

Odegaard 2.0 loading, this boy shall go a long way.
I like how he just plays that simple pass to the other 8 any time its on, doesn't overcomplicate things.
His decision really mature even at his age now
Ball control, low centre of gravity, awareness, decent pace, decent passing, creates good separation. Outstanding for a 17 year old
This Guy Is A Baller.
I see xhaka or odegard in his style...wow what a player Arsenal have❤
Xhaka?😂
😂
@adventurerwannabe maybe he meant saka...and not Xhaka..😊😅
Lmaooo 😂
He plays like a Spaniard. The technical ability was on full display and he looks so comfortable on the ball. He’s never pressed or looks rushed.
The technical skills and guile is from his Nigerian heritage just like Eze at Palace
@@sundayosita588I heard his mom is Irish
Technical skills are speciality of Irish decent players like scholes, Rooney, Kane

We are used to seeing Saka-White-Odegaard triangle but in this game we saw the Hale End academy triangle(Saka-Nwaneri-Nichols) build up to Rice's goal🎉🎉🎉❤❤... Am so impressed 🎉🎉❤
Perfect back up for Øde ! If he gets minutes and impresses, I would love to see him get the no.10 shirt next year!
Listen guys! Ethan Nwaneri is the perfect backup for Odegaard. I think he might even raise the bar much higher
He moves more like jack wilshire or foden than odegaard. The way they run with the ball past people low to the ground and you can never get it off them..
I'll start him against Leicester without a doubt. Give him 60-70 mins. Let's see what he can do against the physicality of a prem opponent..
Sign of top player ,very rarely gives the ball away
Odegard with speed
And more clinical in front of goal.
This kid is unbelievable with an amazing and smart left foot🔥🔥🔥
Imagine Nwaneri and Odegaard playing together.
Both has an eye to pass.
Nice game to get him and saka some chemistry
The kid is really good, has a eye for goal, good dribbler and a good passer of the ball as well . Great future ahead.
Should start against Leicester next. I wonder if he will be more of a goal scoring and dribbling maestro in midfield compared to Odegaard.
All that depends on the level of his confidence
@@raidenextdoorfrom what ive seen already from hes league cameos,hes got 99 problems confidence aint one
@neducationalmusic4738 most definitely. Him starting in the first team 11 is confidence 101
Ethan is a superstar man, great performance. Imagine what he’d do with our full first team players around him 🤩 I’d start him against Leicester
This kid looks like ready for first team football
Definitely is ngl, he can start in odeegard role until he comes back
Even the way he passes
Yup, there's a reason why Mikel didn't get him out on loan. Mikel plans to use him this season
@@muhammadrezaaulia8953and let esr and viera go.
I'm still not sure, can't really tell after a perfomance against a League One side.
He’s the perfect hybrid. Ode and jack in one! Should definitely start this wkend
The way he protects the ball is very similar to Odegaard. Can tell he picks up what Ø does in training.
Want to see him start at the weekend why not?
Yeah, perfect game for him to get a prem start. We need a bit of creativity in midfield against Leicester.
Deserve premier start ❤
He's more direct than Odegaard
Nwaneri has that charisma of a starboy, very similar to Saka in 2020.
after Mancity we gonna have a series of games against mid table team, Nwareri should be given some game time till Odegaard returns
Kiwior put very classy performance in this geam. Something tells me he should be here.
1.00 he deffo learnt that from Odegaard 😊 top baller this kid
Brilliant youngster. Wat a game for him. He is our future
The biggest stamp of approval Nwaneri gets is something that's easy to overlook - it's apparent how much his teammates trust him, and don't treat him like a starstruck youngster going through the motions
The boy reminds me of our captain Odegaard. He should be given more playing time.
Remember our big Merino is back in one week time.
Hez got the fabregas elegance and control.
Still very young and I want him to become confident to play that killer pass
This kid is the future! He is just too good 👍
He is ready. Can see his confidence. Good luck lad!
1:19 - 1:26
Great from saka
I see alot of odegaard in his football but he could be bullish and more bould and use his physic as a black male athlete the boy is good the next starboy
Hes like a hybrid of odegaard and esr
@@neducationalmusic4738 100%
As a black male athlete lmao 🤦♂️
People still believe in this race trait BS. So uneducated
@@neducationalmusic4738 Yeah that drive through midfield odegaard doesnt quite have that. He can very easily play on the wing and his game wouldn't even have to change much. If saka ever has to come off you could see his linkup on that left with odegaard going insane.
The future is now, he scores next game give him #10
No
He will be the number 10 next season
It's hightime someone gives space for Ethan Nwaneri now.
ONE OF OUR OWN
Fans were chanting and singing Ethan nwaneri at halftime 😂❤❤❤❤
A class act...❤
He is ODEGARD junior his turns were similar to those of our captain, speed and everything I thought our captain is back 😊
Better arteta does something
Nwaneri one of our own!So glad we maNAGED TO KEEP HIM .
Very similar to Odegaard but less biased towards the right hand side.
2:38 that composure to turn out of pressure 🔥🔥
This dude is soo much like santi cazorla and a hint of odegaard i love him
This is Arsenal's Musiala
Pure talent, very bright future a head.
Wow what a gem !
😂 he and skelly learned the dark arts well
He plays so much like the Captain!
What a player we have here
Defo the best option to replace Ødegaard till he’s back
Arteta will have a lot of explanations to do if Nwaneri is not no one on the starting line up against Leicester this weekend.
I think one good thing about his game is that he feeds both wings but Odegard feeds only the right wing i.e Saka 90% of the time
Starting role against Leicester city will play a huge role in his development. With the support of Partey and Rice in midfield, he's good to go. Let's unlock this potential finally
He's ready. Looking forward to seeing his development with more game time.
Nwaneri Senior buddy odegaar..
Oozes class and confidence
I say start him against Leicester. With Partey and Rice next to him he'll have the support. Bring in Trossard if needed. And then start Trossard against PSG. We need to keep rotating so we don't burn out our players.
Martin Ø x ESR hybrid
🎯 🎯 🎯
Bang on.
Spot on tbh
nwaneri doing odegaard things...please give him minutes.
One of our own
ABSOLUTE BALLER!!! Defo gonna get more minutes in the first team with us!!
I like the way he links with Saka, very interesting
He is super talented
Our Nigeria brother is a great baller
He his who he think he his ❤
Nigeria better go try convincing Nathan Nwaneri to play for the senior National Team NOW, before England uses him in qualifiers and then dumped for main competition, ultimately ruining his national careerer.
better he plays for England so he won't be away during ACON.
@@jjtop20 He would play for England during the qualifiers and Friendlies, but get dumped for Euros and World Cups tournaments.
No problem better @@LoonieGoon3r
Like Eddie Nketiah
@@LoonieGoon3r he is still very young. Depends on how he progress. anyway he has to decide by himself who he wants to play for. but I always feel is only right to represent the country u were born in or u grow up in
Awesome playing
Selfless play towards the end too, on a hattrick & still passes the ball in the box
He is not ready
I think if he’s back again into first team start as early the next game, he’ll be even much better. That role wasn’t for Trossad and Arteta should have brought Nwaneri on once Odegaard became unavailable.
1:00 still learning though
Odegaard would have done a back heel pass😃
This kid is good the only think missing is those passed between the lines, he is a bit too cautious.
That has been my observation too. He does not seem to be confident with those little intelligent passes between the lines. But he is very young and will definitely be encouraged to vary his play. He does all the other things smoothly and the Ozil, Odegaard final passes are his next step.

Happy for u Mwaneri
I love it,,
In the absence of Captain Oordegard,,,Nwaneri is our second best number 10, who should start unless otherwise...
Mini Odeagaard!!!❤❤
Just like messy❤
On Fire
Good player..i think his decision making will improve if he manage to get more minutes..he need to improve to start a match with arsenal in future..hope he can success with arsenal..
Can we put some respect on jesus for choosing to not tap strelings cross for either allowong ethan to score or because he knew it would mess the keeper up
Proper player
He reminds me of Jack Wilshere😮
He's ready
Bro passes like he is a pro player with like 4 years experience in top flight football
Real backup for odegard
Pls arteta give ds guy more chance.. Its juz odegaard second in style, play, flair n everything
He is sending a message to Arteta
I think he should be given a chance on OD position he has the same style as OD our captain
When rivals celebrated ⌀8 injured I just told them about this guy but no one believed a word 💀
Only 17
He isss ready
He did ok. But Myles skelly is my favourite
