Not at fault exclusively for the result by any means, but another reason why we must change our left back. Goes to engage a 16 year old boy and gets absolutely done and swept aside.

Nothing wrong with our left back, that was/is a superb 16 year old. Our weakness is on the right.

Rooney was a superb 16 year old because he had the physicality to go with the ability. Dowman is no doubt a very talented player, but that defending was absolutely abysmal. Talk about selling yourself.
The two aren't mutually exclusive. Both sides need brand new starters.
Garner, brilliant again. The lad can play anywhere, but I much prefer him in the middle.

For me, Mycolenko was at fault for their first goal. For some reason, he dropped off his position and retreated some 10 yards, leaving the youngster on his own to put in an excellent cross. Normally, when a goalie comes that far out, he has to get it, but for me it was down to Mycolenko's naivety.

Don't get carried away with that 16 year old. Really, what did he do? He put a cross into the box, which Pickford made a terrible mistake with, and then ran the ball into the net when there was no keeper in the net. He will be another Smith Rowe, all hyped up, and then he will be playing for Fulham in 3 years.
Can't believe a team as crap as Arsenal can win the Premier League these days. They are a bad lot. They are worse than the Liverpool teams that won the league in the last few years, and that is saying something cos Liverpool are a bad lot too. I hope Spurs go down this season as well. Another bad lot they are.

He does seem a great talent and good luck to him, love the youngsters making the first team even if it's for the last 15/20 minutes. We should do the same.

He won't be another Smith Rowe imo. Smith Rowe didn't make his debut until 18. This lad came onto the scene at 15, and made Joe Linton look lost at sea.
His frame and his composure on the ball set him apart from Smith Rowe already. He is 6ft tall already, and will only grow into his body.
He came on for his PL debut against Leeds and won a penalty.
In his 2nd game (against us) , he had a big play in the 1st goal, then made Mykolenko look like the schoolboy, before calmly slaloming out of the way of KDH.
A goal and an assist in less than a half of PL football is very impressive at 16 years of age. Smith Rowe did not manage to score until about 18 games into his Arsenal PL career.

We will have to wait and see then.

If he plays on the right, he could well end up at us if he doesn't make it.. We'd probably spend £50m+ for the pleasure if that was the case..
