Kosta Nedeljkovic (out on loan at RB Leipzig)

[john e]

I had no problems with his display yesterday

A lot of players struggled to keep possession, especially in the first half
Bailey, Watkins in particular were wasteful with the ball , but if your narrative is you don’t think an 18-year-old is up to the task then you’re going to pick fault with his couple of mistakes and not anybody else’s

Dan Bardell believes Diego Carlos will start ahead of Kosta Nedeljkovic against Arsenal.

Didn't get that right did he? I thought Kosta did well when he came on, he will only improve under Unai.

I think it's quite clear that Diego's in the departure lounge.

[Demitri_C]

He sure is

Maybe BE will spot him and post a photo.

Trossard roasted him for the second goal. Fine defending one on one but has a lot to learn tactically. Didn't combine hardly at all with Bailey in possession either. Cash might be out for a while and right now we look a bit short in that position.

Ned came on unexpectedly early and coped well, he shows much promise for the future.

Think both full backs did well to bottle up Arsenal attacks in that half space. Apart from Saka getting that shot off, they didn't do a tap until what I'd describe as a fortunate ricochet, others might suggest being roasted, lead to their goal.

Agreed, I thought Saka was made to look extremely ordinary yesterday.

I agree with you, really harsh to blame Ned for their first.

[cdbearsfan]

That backheel reminded me of God.

[garyellis]

I was eager to see this lad, he looks a real athlete.
That was a difficult match to be thrown into but overall he did fine and you can’t buy that level of experience at such a young age.
I would still like to see us strengthen on the right side of defence if the right option is available.

For an 18 year old with no experience higher than the Serbian league he's looking a decent prospect and not out of place in the PL.

He mentioned the second, not the first. Although Cash would have been caught out with the same move, the defence were trying to keep the line but a more experience player like Trossard saw the ball was on and did a lovely spin around. A half second later and he would have been offside. Of course that didn't lead to the goal as we had plenty of other opportunities to stop it including Martinez (although I think he was unsighted around Torres).

I honestly believe he's the most overrated player in the PL.
