Solly March

[perseus]

I don't feel that Solly performed well enough to earn any plaudits last night, but wouldn't say he played terribly either. Having seen him last weekend against Sevilla and last night, my biggest question mark about him at the moment is the quality of his delivery / final ball. Yes, he shows good pace down the wings, yes he gets into good positions, but sadly I'm not seeing anything of an end product with a final delivery in terms of service into the box / forwards. I'm hoping this is being worked on with him and that we'll see this element of his game greatly improve over the coming months.

Needs a year to improve his technique. I like Baldock playing wide with the current choices (until we can get a winger). March can beat his man better than Colunga but his final product is not quite as good. In a year it should be as good ?

This, this and this again. His final shot wasn't up to much last night but as long as he keeps putting himself in those positions and making those runs then the goals will come. It's great when a player has the confidence to run at defences and then shoot. I want him to carry on with this.

Absolutely 100% this .This team last night showed they had confidence and will get better ,unlike last season .I would rather have a player get forward and take a chance than stop and pass it back and lose momentum .

According to whoscored he was our 4th best player last night so maybe some of the criticism is a bit harsh.

If he gets game time this season he will get a stack of penalties, as long as he doesn't go looking for them

Solly March'

Nearly there ,Potential to be good/match winner.

I think if we had Will Buckley we might have won 3-0 and a fair reflection of our dominance

Will Buckley would have either been injured and not played, come off injured after an hour, returning from injury so he'd be tired , or not trying cos he wanted a move to a prem club

Too true!

We need players who want to do their best to get us to the Premiership.

Patience mes braves. Just enjoy watching him develop.

According to my eyes he wasn't and I trust them more than a website

I will add I thought he did ok apart from the same points most have raised

 

[heathgate]

He started poorly, but got better and better. He is 21, back from a serious injury and has not played vast amounts at this level. He has talent and potential in spades. If he stays fit and the fans do not get at him, he will do very, very well for us.

I think he will be shipped out as soon as we get another wide man in.... Harper is more likely to be our benched bright young thing in the match day squad once he is fit....

 

[heathgate]

Good to see him on the wing & not in the middle where he is too weak
& nice to see some pace on the wing. I thought he did well enough

Sadly from my viewpoint, the first thing he did each time he received the ball out wide, was turn inside or back and look to lay it off. His first thought as a winger should be to take on the fullback......

Watched a different match from me old chap

Me too.

He struggled for the first 10-15 minutes but was fine thereafter. He really isn't an out-and-out wide man though. Most of his best work was done when drifting into central areas. Can very useful when we shift to a 4411 playing in the number 10 probably in away games.

We agree on something. That's a first. It's going to be a good day I feel.

 

[W.C.]

No he wasn't. He made some mistakes, as you'd expect from a young player, but terrible?..nonsense. For the first time in ages we had natural width on both wings and Solly made some great runs, and delivered some good balls into dangerous areas. You do realise he's just coming back from a long-term injury also? A bit more game time and experience and he'll be a great asset this season.

This. I like the glimpses of skill we get from him. I hope we see some more.

Lol...dont spend so much time on the dark side and there will be more to agree on

I dare say a lot of the points made previously were also made about Walcott when he first joined Arsenal.
