Welcome to this weekends Loanees Watch – Young Guns’ analysis, reports and updates on the progress of the young starlets currently plying their trade away from the Emirates Stadium. You can read all the latest reports below.
Kyle Bartley played the full 90 minutes at centre back as Sheffield United lost 2-1 to Ipswich Town. Bartley and United struggled to deal with Town’s long throws, two of which resulted in goals. In a frustrating afternoon, Kyle was booked late on.
Benik Afobe made his first professional start and played the full 90 minutes for Huddersfield Town against Cambridge United. Afobe endured a torrid first half as the hosts looked likely to cause a notable upset, however, after manager Lee Clark changed things in the second half, Afobe impressed. The young striker could have scored the winner late on, but the game finished 0-0 and went to a replay.
Thomas Cruise started and played the full 90 minutes at left back as Carlisle United cruised into the second round of the FA Cup. Cruise, on his debut, turned in s decent shift at left back, but was rarely troubled.
Cedric Evina wrapped up another 90 minutes for Oldham Athletic at left back but he couldn’t prevent his side from a surprise 3-2 defeat to Accrington Stanley.
Gavin Hoyte played the full 90 minutes for Lincoln City as they claimed a 1-0 win over Nuneaton. Hoyte played the full game at right back.
Sanchez Watt missed Leeds United’s 3-2 win over Coventry City due to injury.
Mark Randall missed Rotherham’s 0-0 draw with York City due to a broken cheek bone.
Vito Mannone was an unused substitute for Hull City as they lost 1-0 to Scunthorpe United in the Humberside derby.
Luke Freeman was an unused substitute for Yeovil as they beat Rushden and Diamonds 1-0.
Francis Coquelin played the full 90 minutes for Lorient as they beat Saint Etienne 2-1. Coquelin was fantastic in a holding midfield role but did get involved in the attacking side, assisting for one of Kevin Gameiro’s two goals.
Armand Traore missed Juventus’ 2-1 win over Cesena due to injury
Nacer Barazite played the final 8 minutes of Vitesse Arnhem’s 1-1 draw against AZ Alkmaar. Barazite replaced Julian Jenner late on and his influence tolled as Vitesse grabbed a 90th minute equaliser.
Pedro Botelho played the full 90 minutes at left back for FC Cartagena as they beat Granada 2-1. Botelho turned in another fantastic shift, playing his part for Cartagena’s first goal.
Samuel Galindo replaced Marcos Márquez with 8 minutes left of Salamanca’s 1-0 win over Albacete.
Atlist mo of our youngsters r statin 2 gt game time
was worried a lot of them was warming the benches rather than playing, but it seems now more are getting gametime
did ye see wellington da silva at the newcastle game?
Wasn´t Wellington Silva at the Newcastle game?
it is now confirmed. wellington is training with arsenal every week until Jan.
Awesome news Wellington is coming, but we’ll have to wait to have Botelho next year. We hope Galindo can force his way to a starting birth at his team and Coquelin is finally getting some much needed experience. Wonder who’ll make it into the first team first.. him or Frimpong as he’ll be the one with the most experience come next season.
Is it me or arsenal losing games doesnt hurt as much as before?
I dont know what it is but ever since we were unbeaten and the years after every loss was terrible.
But now its not as painful anyone else feel like that?
BTW arsenal need some proper wingers we seriosuly dont have players who can dribble past players
I’m sure we have but thats not how we play.
I agree that we need wingers.
what killed arsenal was complacency
we are seriously suffering from it
cant dribble past players? nasri and andrei are great dribbles but its like arsene has told them not to dribble? and only to pass the ball side ways because when andrei first joined he was taking players on for fun but its like wengers has told him not to and this being the main part of his game makes him look half the player that he was and nasri well just look at some of his goals esp the one from champions league last year
I cant understand why we are crossing more to chamakh . Heading is his strength . BTW nice to see coquelin doing well . I have high hopes for him
“we are not ” instead of “we are” sorry for the mistake
wats d use of vito manone being loaned if he is in d bench even for HULL CITY?
You could maybe do with changing your name, unless you actually are a spud, erm, or Niko Kranjaar himself!
Fingers crossed that Coquelin and Botelho continue their great progress as I feel they have big futures at Arsenal.
