‼ THAT PERFORMANCE WAS SHOCKING 😳
Part 2/2: Continuing on from my last post. This team needs to step up, because this is not good enough, we could potentially end the matchweek in 7th position, behind Nottingham Forest, that is shocking. You begin to question, if this keeps continuing, will we even be fighting for the league, or even a top 4 position. The whole team needs to improve.
The most noticeable thing about this team, is the lack of control in midfield, Ødegaard really was our most important player, we lost him and we have lost the ability to control games, we have been shocking since Ødegaard got injured.
Also, the Zinchenko cameo today, what the hell. Seriously, why is he still at this club, he gave the possession away multiple times, both leading to dangerous counter attacks, that can't actually be our sub to make to change the game, he could have put us 3-0 down single handedly, yes he had a good few plays at the end of the game, but he needs to humble himself and start working hard if he wants to stay at Arsenal, he has been shocking the last two seasons...
One more thing to note on my end, is Artetas use of substitutes, we finally got to see Nwaneri come on, albeit in a midfield 3 of who even knows, but he had some good movement but ultimately he didn't cut it today, and that's fine, he's 17 years old, we shouldn't be relying on him to change the game today. But I personally would have brought on Skelly rather than Zinchenko, he offers pace and strength which Zinchenko does not have. Also Gabriel Jesus, useless. And the fact we have brought Sterling in and haven't used him at all bewilders me...
This team is crumbling, and it needs the fans support, I still believe in this team to do something special, but the players need to improve, and ultimately, the manager needs a kick up the ass, because he needs to get himself into gear, Arteta has not been his usual self with his team. We bottled it last two seasons, it's time to step up and win this league and prove everyone wrong, we may be 8 points behind (assuming City win), but we are still in it... Time to fight for this club... COYG
