    Looks like he went the full 90 today in Xolos' loss to Pumas. Did anyone watch the game? How'd he play?

    I saw a little of it, 1st time I've seen him play. one thing I immediately noticed was how explosive/quick he is whenever he gets the ball

    Well they lost 3 - 0, so I assume the team over all did not look very good.

    He would've had an assist but it was ruled offside. Kid has a bright future.

    He was clearly trying to make something happen late in the game, trying a lot of quick turns, but it wasn't working.

    Paul Wall came on as a sub tonight against Monterrey and played a major part in setting up the winning goal.

    You sure it was Paul Arriola? I'm trying to find him being subbed on but I can't. And the guy who sent that cross in isn't Paul.

    Arriola was originally called by Farias, and he was showed by the camera, but the one who was subbed in was Juan Hernandez (no. 11, who gives the asists, the one who did the cross was Benedetto).

    Arriola didn't even make the bench yesterday. The coach clearly doesn't rate him. Hopefully something changes soon. His talent didn't just disappear. Last season, he was one of their best players.

    If I was him, I'd ask for a loan to another 1st diision team.

    Manager needs to get his head out of his ass. Arriola should be getting more minutes.

    He didn't really impress the last time he played.

    Paul got into the game at 64' mark. Gomez and Corona also came off the bench. Didn't watch the game but know TJ lost 3-0 at home. Farias preference to not play wingers is killing the teams offense. Won't stay in TJ long if he keeps this up.

    Everybody on Tijuana's team played bad yesterday. Arriola struggled to keep possession of the ball.

    what has happened to TJ? their success of a year or two ago seems like a distant, distant memory.

    Tijuana should have hired Bob Bradley. Seriously.

    Didn't even make the bench today. He needs to find a new club.

    You really need to stop with your hyperbolic overreactions when some teenager doesn't go 90 minutes every week, and I agree Paul should be playing more. I have a feeling Arriola will be at Tijuana a lot longer than Cesar Farias too.

    Paul did score for their U20 team today.

    His age shouldn't matter in this equation. When a player is getting consistent minutes one year and playing very well, and isn't getting consistent minutes the next year under a new coach, its clear what is happening. The coach doesn't rate him. The coach isn't doing that bad with the team. I don't see why they would fire him. He doesn't rate Arriola that highly.

    Why should Arriola waste a year playing with the reserves or with a second division club when he has shown the ability to contribute positively to a first division club?

    Yeah he's shown he's at least a bench player. And really should be playing to give them more width. Even Herc is upset with his lack of playing time. The manager shouldn't be employed much longer.

    Otherwise I'm sure there are other teams in Liga MX who would love to have Arriola.
