Getting second season Cazorla vibes from him.
Cazorla lost that bit of explosiveness he no longer could get past people like used to.
Should be an #8 and #10 cover going forward.
He simply can’t replicate what Saka or Martinelli do out wide.
Nketiah, Jesus and Nelson are better than him there.
First backup for Jesus imo, always played his best for us there.
Worst player on the pitch tonight, well either him or Kiwior.
Bit insane how misfiring he has been recently. So out of character of him.
I know he’s missed big chances in the past too but they weren’t as frequent.
Go on a big run now where he is squandering big chance after big chance.
Hope he scores against his old club this weekend.
Been saying that for a while.
His skills are still very interesting in some inside, central pockets, but definitely lacks the power to play on the flank in this system.
I think it’s quite neglecting from Arteta to persist with him as a winger primarily.
Nelson absolutely offers more in terms of what our way of play asks from our wingers.
I don’t think has been as evident as the past two matches though. He did a passable job before but the last two performances have been so poor.
I think Arteta may have given up because he put Trossard centrally in the end and had Nketiah and Jesus out wide.
Has suddenly become an awful player overnight, such a shame to see his decline.
Shadow of his former self this season.
maybe carrying an injury?
Seems harsh to constantly expect a high level from a guy who routinely warms the bench and doesn’t get a proper run.
I have harsher words for Martinelli’s recent form if anything.
Im a fan, but he’s doing very little to press a claim for a starting berth.
eh? he was our top scorer til recently, not bad for a guy coming off the bench. Only Odegaard and Saka have more.
He’s had a poor couple of sub apps now and a bad start tonight, let’s not be dramatic.
He’s certainly not an awful player.
Martinelli has been below par with his end product, but the compliment I’ll give him is with his pace in behind he always tends to make the team look more dangerous as a unit.
You know who you’re talking to, right?
Ah, so this is a “Trossard is crap” week. I look forward to him being good again next week.
Will probably score vs his former team on Sunday.
Late winner as a substitute?
Christ almighty has he become totally useless. That FK setup with Odegaard was one of the most embarrassing things I’ve seen at this level.
Poor Saka and Jesus are fucking carrying this team up front.
Games like this are why he can never be the real solution
Mind boggling inconsistency
