Rob Holding completed 100% of his 29 passes in the first half (@StatsZone Image) #Arsenal pic.twitter.com/JucSxx55xz— Stats Per 90 (@StatsPer90) August 27, 2016
Error by Pickford for the Southampton goal. Seemed to play OK until that error. Might cost him is place.
So 10 starters from the 22 players in the latest squad who's clubs have played this weekend. Gunn and Galloway play tomorrow. Not very good.
And Gunn won't start, so that leaves Galloway and if I was a betting man, he will be on the bench. It's quite frustrating isn't it? The faith in youth seems to be getting worse despite a better standard of players coming through. I wonder if Rashford will get on tonight? Doubt it.
Main issue is that for example Rob Holding has done all he could possibly do with his opportunities and he's going to be dropped for a £30 million+ signing. Hopefully a few of the bench players start getting chances and we get a few good loan moves. Wenger has said Chambers will be loaned when Mustafi signs.
Wolves fans aren't being kind to Hause and Iorfa atm. Makes me wonder if both will last if the club are investing. This is a Wolves goal conceded in midweek and it needs to be seen to be believed - http://www.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/football/10549443/wolves-2-1-cambridge
1 - Marcus Rashford is the first teenager to score a Premier League goal under a side managed by Jose Mourinho. Fledgling.— OptaJoe (@OptaJoe) August 27, 2016
Of the 24 players selected in this latest U21 squad 11 started, 3 came off the bench and 7 made the bench but took no part in the game. The final 3 didn't make the final 18 for match day.

Interesting move - Boro have plenty of defensive options, but I doubt he's going to dislodge their centre backs so I guess he'll be mainly considered as a right back.
He is too old for this thread i guess now but Will Keane seems to be heading to hull on a permanent. Good move for him.
Best thing that can happen for Chambers' career now is to let him move back into midfield. Has never looked convincing in defence.
They just have never looked very good when I've seen them, which admittedly isn't much - but if they are the future of English full backs then we are in trouble! Grant Ward scored again for ITFC, and has been man of the match in all 3 home games, plus player of the month now. Looks really, really good - hopefully is on the radar.
Still seems to be being eased back in - struggled a bit on first day of season and been 2 games a week since.
