Good game. Glided past the Northampton right back over and over with a simple move.

 

Really? Nowt came off for him all night, in not even sure I saw him go past a fullback until about 80 mins after he was put to left back.

 

I'm a big fan of him but he had a shocker.

He'll have games like that. I'd be surprised if he's played 10 career matches yet and there's already a weight of expectation on him. I've no doubts he'll be quality but last night will happen time to time.

I was certain he skipped past the full back a few times.  Was that Haidara....

He went on a mazy run in first half and went past a few players, then in the second half when he was at left back. Bar that it was performance of his off days in the reserves. Haidara didn't help him out at all with his passing up the line, sold him short time and time again.

 

Expected Aarons to really put himself in the mix for a starting berth but this did him no favours. Tbf to him, he was on fire pre-season and should have been one of the first on team sheet against Southampton, he's now hardly played since pre-season so should be little surprise if he's went off the boil to an extent.

He's young, he'll be inconsistent for a while yet, it's nothing to worry about. We've all seen his potential quality when he has a good game.

 

He's the kind who should be able to perform coming off the bench so as long as he keeps getting regular game time I've no problem with him not starting yet.

I'd send him on loan to a decent Championship team, where he will play every week.

Getting kicked by the shit teams in the Championship will toughen him up a bit and the confidence gained from playing in a good team/doing well will also.

Dafuq did I just read?

Why not? What will he achieve sitting on our bench and not playing regularly?

I'm a firm believer that players need to play football to progress (ie, Armstrong).

 

He's not good enough to start atm, so he will be limited to 20 minutes here and there.

If we are keeping him long term, he will come back a better player - if we are going to sell him, then of course there is no point.

Obertan is not going to start, is he?

Perez is ahead of Aarons imo, as I believe he could play anywhere in a front four.

"is not GOING to start"

Thauvin is clearly ahead of Obertan, that argument is daft.

Just to add - we are talking about a 19 year old who has only played 5 competitive games for us, he's never been out on loan or played competitive football on a regular basis.

He was out injured for a majority of last season, of course he needs to play regularly! Obertan

Past evidence is "daft?"

 

:lol:

 

I hope you're right, of course, but I was pointing towards the last 3 games where Aarons should've started over Obertan. Heck, Aarons' grandmother should've started over the alien.

 

I just don't think we should be loaning out someone who saved Pardew's fucking ass twice last season, enough for Pardew to injure the lad further by throwing him into the deep end when he wasn't even fully fit. If even Pardew can see this lad needs to be on the pitch for a bit o'majick, we need him starting ahead of the alien. Not loaned out to a division we know he will just waste his year in.

Aarons is not going to start competitively for us all season, so we're gonna stick a 19 year old on the bench all season.

Yet, you think he'll get nothing out of playing regularly in the Championship?

Playing in a team that will do well in the Championship will do him the absolute world of good.

 

Or even, send him on loan to someone like Bournemouth! Where he will be guaranteed a start!

Nobody's discussing the merits and value of a season's loan for any given player. We're saying an absolute numpty (Obertan) has been given more time this season than letting Aarons develop as a player. If you want to look at how to blood young players into the fast pace of the top flight, see Wenger, Rodgers, and you'll see what I'm talking about.
