Arsenal fans react on Twitter to Kido Taylor-Hart display in U21 draw
A number of Arsenal fans have taken to Twitter to comment on Kido Taylor-Hart after his performance for the under-21s in their Papa John’s Trophy clash with Plymouth Argyle on Tuesday.
The Gunners have given themselves a chance of getting through to the knockout stages of the competition after a 1-1 draw.
Arsenal were ultimately beaten in the subsequent penalty shootout. However, Swindon Town beating Newport County next week would see Kevin Betsy’s side progress.
It was Folarin Balogun who got Arsenal’s goal against the League One side this week. But it seemed to be Taylor-Hart that plenty of Gunners fans were talking about on social media.
The 19-year-old started in midfield and won plaudits for the way he used the ball throughout the game.
Some labelled him the man of the match, while one supporter insisted that he feels that he is a much bigger prospect than Balogun – who has, of course, made his senior debut for Mikel Arteta’s side.
Taylor-Hart now needs to set his sights on playing more regularly for the under-23s.
He has been an unused substitute in three of their last six Premier League 2 games, missing out on the squad altogether for the loss against Liverpool.
‘Such a graceful talent’: Arsenal fans laud Kido Taylor-Hart after U21 draw
But clearly, plenty of the Arsenal supporters – including several who attended the game at Home Park – felt that Taylor-Hart reminded everyone why he is so highly-rated at the Emirates.
With that in mind, here is what some of the fans made of Taylor-Hart’s display on Tuesday…
He played well. Held the ball up well too! Player who really caught my eye tho was Kiddo Taylor-Hart! He looks a very good prospect!!

Kido Taylor-Hart is such a graceful talent, he just moves with the ball like he’s in slow motion, beautiful to watch

Best player on the pitch tonight, shame about the result
— Mark R (@SUD5_McDUFF)
Taylor-hart looks twice the player £40k a week balogun does .
Rekik at the back looks like Ben White, absolute class .Not many else will make it unfortunately
— Jimmy AFC 🌶️ (@jimmytozer)
Arsenal wasting a few chances, Kido looking dangerous, Balogun probably guilty of trying to overplay, enjoying Rekik bringing the ball out Ben white esque.
