After Arsenal’s defeat to Newcastle United, Gary Neville strongly criticized Arsenal attacker Leandro Trossard. The Gunners struggled to penetrate a resilient home defense, and a goal by Antony Gordon secured victory for Eddie Howe’s side. This match highlighted some of Arsenal’s squad deficiencies, particularly in the final third.
Arsenal’s decision not to acquire a striker was evident as they deployed Leandro Trossard as a forward. Unfortunately, Trossard’s performance was lackluster, and this deficiency was especially glaring when he failed to clear the first man on a third consecutive corner. Gary Neville did not mince words and labeled Trossard as ‘appalling.’
Neville expressed his frustration with Trossard’s performance during the Sky commentary. He highlighted Trossard’s inability to clear the first defender on corner kicks, emphasizing his disappointment with the Belgian’s play.
Leandro Trossard had previously received praise for his contributions at Arsenal, but this particular game was a letdown. Trossard will be hoping for better results in the upcoming matches, both in terms of his set pieces and overall performance.
Arsenal’s setback against Newcastle, coupled with Manchester City’s resounding 6-1 victory, is a significant blow for Mikel Arteta’s team. The need for a striker in the January transfer window is becoming increasingly evident. While Newcastle performed well, Arsenal needs improvement, and their substitutes must make more substantial contributions to the team’s success.
