His own shortcomings wont ever be pointed out to him and if he does not have it within himself to improve, there he will stagnate until Wenger`s arse is on the line and he quietly ships him out for a new prospect.

Svengali Wenger has blighted the career of many a new prospect and even succeeded in retrograding formerly seasoned players. He is lethal. His entire career was built on a short episode of 6 years between 1998-2004 and one T Henry.
Good players like Nelson, Nketiah and Willock look lost when they're put in the first team exactly because of what you say.

In his debut recently Nelson didn't seem to feel he was allowed to play his attacking game and instead joined the collect-and-pass-harmlessly-backwards brigade.

Eddie got those two goals againts Norwich but ever since Wenger's made sure he doesn't do it again by bringing him on at the end of games out of position.
