Calf issue for Zinchenko. Again.

Trossard was the worst player on the pitch on Thursday and he’s been rubbish for a while now.Originally Posted by Marc Overmars
The thing is, when Martinelli comes in as a sub, he rarely does badly.
This fixation that Arteta has that players can play out their bad spell is a bit funny if you ask me. He should probably call a friend (hopefully an experienced coach) who could give him some advice.
He’s still done a lot more than Martinelli has this season tbh.
Also with Zinchenko and Jesus not playing, service to Martinelli is likely to get worse today........
I don’t think it’s so much playing players back into form it’s more about not trusting the players in the squad. Trossard I get because he lacks the raw pace of Martinelli, and he sees Nelson more as an impact sub. I think Nelson has been a bit muted this season, now possibly it’s because he’s not getting the starts to get going but I haven’t seen anything from him that suggests that he’s gunning for Martinelli’s position.
The thing is, it’s not an inexperience thing. Every coach of Arsenal in my memory has persisted with players I think could have been dropped. Emery, Wenger, Rioch and Graham.
Just noticed Tomi is on the bench.....was it to soon for a start???
Trossard doesn’t fit well on the left, he’s arguably our best player technically but doesn’t have the raw pace to get in behind defenders. Martinelli seems to lack confidence and that’s why he cuts inside more than he should. But then he’s not been helped that often Jesus or Nketiah aren’t making the runs into the box, Jesus because he’s more interested in getting involved in play outside the box, Nketiah because he’s not very intelligent and can’t read the game
Given his injury record, almost certainly
Also he'll be away for the Asia Cup so probably pointless really.
Unless he isn't in the squad.
