Arteta drops Brazilian football for the Manchester City championship game in the middle of the week.
Former Newcastle goalkeeper Xhaka Hislop has urged Mikel Arteta to manage to drop Gabriel Martinelli on the sidelines for Arsenal’s home game. They face Manchester City in the Premier League midweek next week.
In last night’s game, the Brazilian winger was so out of form. That he was replaced by Leandro Trossard in the 62nd minute. The lead four minutes later. Before hit by the away team. Equalize in the 74th minute, divided into 1 point per team
Arsenal next game will still play at the Emirates Stadium. With the visit of Manchester City crucial to their Premier League title challenge this season. In an interview with ESPN, Arteta should give Trossard an opportunity and drop Martinelli to create danger on the left flank.
“I don’t think Gabriel Martinelli will continue to play well lately, when Leandro Trossard came on he had an immediate impact on the game. So if you’re Arteta, I think it’s time to think about whether Trossard can start every game.
“Martinelli has speed, but the defense is ready to deal with that speed as well. You have to adapt to Martinelli’s pace, he can’t make much of an impact. He is not playing well and has some problems at the moment.
“So it’s an easy change given Trossard’s form. The fact he can score goals for Arsenal. So you have to start every game with him.”
