You can tell when Wenger rates a youngster with outstanding talent, because even at 18 they're in the first team and he has no worries about throwing him into the deep end when there wasn't much need. He could've played Monreal today but he chucked Gnabbers in for the 3rd start of the week.

He seems to be playing quite cautiously, just making sure he doesn't lose the ball, he's putting in a massive defensive shift and just trying to keep things simple until he gets up to the speed of the game. Twice he has had good second half performances in the two league games he has played. Hasn't been quite as explosive as Oxlade's first few games but very sensible. Apparently a lot more to come from him because he's meant to have serious talent.
