These injuries in attacking positions might be whats needed to finally give Gil and the U21 attackers their great opps.
I'm actually looking forward to it. Ange will give them the confidence and they will all be unknown quantities to opposition teams
Veliz as a rotation option for Richarlison and Son
Perisic replaced with Gil
Solomon replaced with Yago Santiago or Donley
Others waiting in the wings. Nile John, who is technically better than Skipp and maybe more suited to Ange ball.
Phillips and Dorrington look to good for u21 football
We will need most of them to get through to January window and I think they'll step up when given the chance.
Ange ball will suit them.
Embracing the opportunity

While I agree on the whole, OP I do think we have to apprach the game to win it and therefore ensire we don't experiment too much. Exactly how we got done in the cup and lost that game.
We have to have a balanced approach - not too many changes for the sake of it.

I agree, I'm just saying these guys as subs will be priceless or good cover if we get more injuries

I haven’t seen much of any of these players so I hope you’re right in that they are ready.
Will be exciting if they can step in

Donley is on fire, IF (and I do not take them lightly) we could get into a good position against Luton then it would be great to give him and Veliz the last 20 mins of that one.
The most important thing for us though is to keep the momentum going, Arsenal built a title challenge off the back of nothing more than talented youngsters and momentum last season - we have the first part and so far we have the second, we just need to keep going

Brennan Johnson is back after international break too, so he will have a huge opportunity to cement his place

u21s are doing great and should be rewarded when the opportunity presents itself
no point having them on the bench either if they cant be trusted to come on and help with the game

It is difficult to give minutes with so little games. Lord knows the fa cup third round we will get a premier league team away to stop us from rotating.
Donley needs an opportunity sooner rather than later. I spent a bit of time with him against Sheffield United i think it was. Everyone on the internet calling for him, yet nobody recognises who he is. He jumped the pitch and came and chatted with me and my brother for about 10 minutes in spurs training gear not one person came over. Completely humble. I really like him and Will Lankshear who is currently injured.
No better chance with Solomon out for months and Gil being too soft for English Football.

Needs to get on the bench against Luton and hopefully if we’re doing the business then we can blood him. Otherwise, we should try to loan him in Jan to someone like Luton - he needs game time now at the top level

Donley isn’t getting a PL loan straight off the bat
Alfie Devine is considered the bigger prospect and he’s had to go to League 1
