“Arteta is the most ungrateful coach in Premier League…He doesn’t appreciate best player in his team”: Pundit says Mikel Arteta doesn’t appreciate Arsenal best player’s but instead keep’s them on the bench.
After an impressive display against West Ham, Robbie Mustoe singles out an Arsenal player he believes is underrated and possibly undervalued by Mikel Arteta. Arsenal’s convincing 6-0 win at the London Stadium delivered a significant message, especially amidst pressure from previous encounters and weekend victories by title contenders Manchester City and Liverpool.
Despite early missed chances, including opportunities by Leandro Trossard, Arsenal gained momentum once they found the back of the net. Trossard, in particular, earned praise for his superb fourth goal just before halftime while operating as a false nine against West Ham, causing trouble for the opposition defense.
Speaking on The 2 Robbies podcast, Mustoe expressed his belief that Trossard, despite his contributions, doesn’t receive the recognition he deserves. Mustoe highlighted Trossard’s impact from the previous season when Arsenal struggled to score goals, emphasizing the importance of keeping him in the starting lineup.
However, Mustoe noted Arteta’s inclination to favor other players like Gabriel Jesus over Trossard, suggesting the Belgian might find himself on the bench in the next game, despite his talent and contributions. Trossard, Arsenal’s second-highest scorer in the Premier League this season with 22 goals in 50 appearances across all competitions, seems to have gone unnoticed.
Despite starting only 18 league games since joining the club just over a year ago, Trossard’s impressive goal-scoring record cannot be overlooked. Arteta may argue that he recognizes Trossard’s quality, especially considering the risk involved in bringing him to the club when they were competing for the title. Trossard’s consistent improvement and impact on the team demand acknowledgment.
