SHOCKING NEWS: coming from a reliable source, Arsenal legend has urge the club to let one of the worst players on the pitch against Liverpool leave the club. Ashley Cole, the legendary former Arsenal and Chelsea left-back, has urged Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta to do away with 24-year-old FLOP as he believes the player is not yet ready for the big games. Cole believes the player lacks the experience and maturity to play for a team like Arsenal. ” he should leave the club with immediate effect he’s not a player you can boldly depend on with him in that team they are going nowhere”.
Former Arsenal player Ashley Cole expressed doubts about 24-year-old Eddie Nketiah’s capability to perform in crucial matches. Cole’s concerns surfaced after Arsenal’s 2-0 loss to Liverpool in the FA Cup, where he questioned Nketiah’s suitability for high-stakes games.
During the match, Mikel Arteta surprised many by fielding Reiss Nelson, Bukayo Saka, and Kai Havertz as the front three, with Havertz leading the line. Despite glimpses of promise from Havertz, he struggled to convert chances into goals. Nketiah only played for nine minutes, and analyst Alan Shearer noted his possible frustration at the team’s missed opportunities in attack.
Football pundit Kevin Campbell highlighted that Nketiah doesn’t possess the same quality as Gabriel Jesus in the forward position. Speaking on Footballwave, Ashley Cole emphasized Arsenal’s lack of attacking depth, suggesting that their style suits players like Jesus, whose performance significantly impacts the team. Cole expressed skepticism about Nketiah’s suitability against top-tier opponents, foreseeing potential challenges for Arsenal.
Despite Gabriel Jesus’ absence due to injury, Havertz led the line against Liverpool. While Arsenal displayed attacking fluidity, they lacked the precision finishing needed to convert opportunities into goals.
Nketiah has previously displayed goal-scoring prowess for Arsenal, but Cole argued that he might not yet be a top-tier goal-scorer. Recognizing Nketiah’s potential contributions, Cole hinted that Arteta might seek to bolster the striker position in the coming months to provide Arsenal with better options.
