Arsenal fans say Kieran Tierney helped bring the best out of Leandro Trossard

Arsenal fans noted how givജing Tierney freedom allowed the likes of L🌠eandro Trossard to play more centrally, to great effect.

“Arteta has truly allowed Tierne🐲y⛎ freedom,” wrote one fan.

“H💯e held width 🍸with Trossard in the half space which made Merino play like an extra attacker. If he’s fit, he could be a weapon.”

Another said: “Who k♛new the answer to our LW issue wasn’t Martinell🐎i or Trossard but actually Tierney.”

The praise kept coming, with on🏅e writing: “Tierney was g🍎ood.

“His inclusion as a wide left helped Trossard move more central than usual and almost on Jesus’ toes which is a good thi♏ng for overloading the 14 zone. Which could’ve been useful against Everton.

“With the injury ಞcrisis hope he stays at least until the summer.”

One fan said: “I’d say Ti𓂃erney also had a pretty decent game, if he can stay fit m🌞ight be useful this season given how he’s willing to hug the touch line.

“Saw Trossard in more central♒ spaces,💎 the kind of spaces Martinelli might thrive in.”

Another wrote: “The width provided by Tierney o𝓡n the left flank seemed to really help Arsenal’s attack after the break.

“It created more space for Trossard and Jesus. Fಞeels like the sort of thing #AFC were missing against Everton and Fulham.”

How the media rated Tierney display v Palace

gave🌌 🌸Tierney a 7 out of 10 rating for his efforts on the night.

“A solid return for the Scot who was simply allowed ꦅto play his game – get out wide and whip in crosses straight away,” they wrote.

“Should have had an assist for Sterling. If this is how he bows out🌊 at the Emirates Stadꩵium it was a good way to go.”

Likewise, the wen🎐t with a 7 and wrote: “Started for Arsenal for the f🌱irst time since May last year.

ﷺ“Had a good game, overlapping when he could. Created a greꦍat chance for Sterling.”

Tierney may well have revived his Arsenal career against Palace and it will be in🅠teresting to see what the future holds fꦑor him.
