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.
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!
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.
@@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
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..
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 🎉🎉❤
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.
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.
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
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
guys just wanna say i know everyone are having high hopes to him replacing martin but please lower the expectation, and trust arteta to step by step integrate him to the first team starting
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

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
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!

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
I see xhaka or odegard in his style...wow what a player Arsenal have❤
Xhaka?😂
😂
@adventurerwannabe maybe he meant saka...and not Xhaka..😊😅
Lmaooo 😂
This Guy Is A Baller.
Ball control, low centre of gravity, awareness, decent pace, decent passing, creates good separation. Outstanding for a 17 year old
Perfect back up for Øde ! If he gets minutes and impresses, I would love to see him get the no.10 shirt next year!
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
I think he got the Nigerian flair and physic and Irish technical skills

Listen guys! Ethan Nwaneri is the perfect backup for Odegaard. I think he might even raise the bar much higher
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
Odegard with speed
And more clinical in front of goal.
The kid is really good, has a eye for goal, good dribbler and a good passer of the ball as well . Great future ahead.
This kid is unbelievable with an amazing and smart left foot🔥🔥🔥
He’s the perfect hybrid. Ode and jack in one! Should definitely start this wkend
Sign of top player ,very rarely gives the ball away
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.
Nice game to get him and saka some chemistry
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
Imagine Nwaneri and Odegaard playing together.
Both has an eye to pass.
The way he protects the ball is very similar to Odegaard. Can tell he picks up what Ø does in training.
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
Deserve premier start ❤
Kiwior put very classy performance in this geam. Something tells me he should be here.
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.
He's more direct than Odegaard
after Mancity we gonna have a series of games against mid table team, Nwareri should be given some game time till Odegaard returns
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.
Nwaneri has that charisma of a starboy, very similar to Saka in 2020.
A class act...❤
1.00 he deffo learnt that from Odegaard 😊 top baller this kid
He is ready. Can see his confidence. Good luck lad!
This kid is the future! He is just too good 👍
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.
Nwaneri one of our own!So glad we maNAGED TO KEEP HIM .
Hez got the fabregas elegance and control.
ONE OF OUR OWN
It's hightime someone gives space for Ethan Nwaneri now.
The future is now, he scores next game give him #10
No
He will be the number 10 next season
Wow what a gem !
Still very young and I want him to become confident to play that killer pass
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
This dude is soo much like santi cazorla and a hint of odegaard i love him
Pure talent, very bright future a head.
Very similar to Odegaard but less biased towards the right hand side.
1:19 - 1:26
Great from saka
Oozes class and confidence
What a player we have here
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.
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
Fans were chanting and singing Ethan nwaneri at halftime 😂❤❤❤❤
2:38 that composure to turn out of pressure 🔥🔥
One of our own
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
He's ready. Looking forward to seeing his development with more game time.
Arteta will have a lot of explanations to do if Nwaneri is not no one on the starting line up against Leicester this weekend.
He plays so much like the Captain!
Martin Ø x ESR hybrid
🎯 🎯 🎯
Bang on.
Spot on tbh
Defo the best option to replace Ødegaard till he’s back
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
Awesome playing
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.
This is Arsenal's Musiala
He his who he think he his ❤
Our Nigeria brother is a great baller
I love it,,
nwaneri doing odegaard things...please give him minutes.
😂 he and skelly learned the dark arts well
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
Nwaneri Senior buddy odegaar..
Selfless play towards the end too, on a hattrick & still passes the ball in the box
He is not ready
Mini Odeagaard!!!❤❤
Happy for u Mwaneri
coldddd
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. 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..
In the absence of Captain Oordegard,,,Nwaneri is our second best number 10, who should start unless otherwise...
Just like messy❤
On Fire
1:00 still learning though
Odegaard would have done a back heel pass😃
Real backup for odegard
When rivals celebrated ⌀8 injured I just told them about this guy but no one believed a word 💀
He's ready
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 isss ready
He reminds me of Jack Wilshere😮
I think he should be given a chance on OD position he has the same style as OD our captain
He is sending a message to Arteta
Bro passes like he is a pro player with like 4 years experience in top flight football
guys just wanna say i know everyone are having high hopes to him replacing martin but please lower the expectation, and trust arteta to step by step integrate him to the first team starting
Th mos exiting product since Saka
