Mikel Merino (now playing for Arsenal)

Thought he was very good in the second half, practically the only player on the team who can actually control a football under pressure.

 

What a concept.

 

Yeah. Gash first half, much better second.

Showed some glimpses of obvious quality but also looked very naive on the ball on occasions probably due to the fact he's a kid playing in a new league.

 

Not helped by being dropped into probably the most important slot in the team because of Shelvey's indiscipline.

 

Would've benefitted from a phased introduction to our football imho but something to work with for sure.

I like, clearly a footballer. Zero fucking movement around him though so forced to play too many long balls.

Looks to have loads of potential but that was appalling for their goal

 

Not as appalling as the most of the team was for the majority of the game tbh.

 

Well obviously the rest of the team were awful but Merino tracks that run and doesn't turn his back and Mooy isn't scoring there.

 

Looks to have a lovely left foot mind

Promising. A couple of dodgy moments but mostly showed plenty to be enthusiastic about. Lots of clever movement to gain himself a yard and always looked to move the ball forward when possible. Underhit quite a few passes which is a clear sign of nerves IMO.

 

Hope he gets the 90mins against Forest to continue getting used to the frantic pace of English football.
