3 players that underperformed for Arsenal vs Manchester United
by Kian Long
It was not the best day at the office for Arsenal, as they were held to a 0-0 stalemate against Manchester United. Heading into the match, this result would have looked positive from the Gunners’ perspective, but they rarely threatened, and neither did the Red Devils.
Here are three players that could have put in a better display for Arsenal…
1. Arsenal’s worst player Willian
I feel like everyone had the same reaction when Willian was brought on; a yawn. He was a substitute for Gabriel Martinelli, who came off at half-time. He failed to liven up the game and if anything, only slowed the pace down for the Gunners.
I will never understand why commentators continue to praise him like he’s the best player on the pitch. He did nothing, don’t be fooled.
Alexandre Lacazette</a> barely saw the ball last night. It’s clear that he misses his strike partner Aubameyang, but this is no excuse. The best strikers don’t rely on others in order to shine.</p>
<p>Lacazette is like this. He oftentimes goes through spells of great form and then goes through dry patches. While he is not known only for his ability to score goals and he can also be a creator, last night he was neither. A bad day at the office for the Frenchman, who was rightfully replaced by Nketiah towards the end of the match.</p>
