Alan Brazil so frustrated with Arsenal player who ‘does his head in’ after watching him vs Inter Milan
Arsenal suffered their second loss in as many games across all competitions as they were beaten 1-0 by Inter Milan at San Siro in a UEFA Champions League group stage clash.
Hakan Calhanoglu scored the solitary goal o🎀f the game from the penalty spot in the first half and the Gunners failed to respond despite their best efforts.
It hasn’t been plain sailing for Mikel Arteta and co over the past few weeks as they’ve also fallen behind Manchester City and Liverpool in the Premier League title ra꧂ce.
After their game against Inter Milan, one Arsenal player was singled 🥀out for criticism as they flattered to deceive in Italy.
Ray Parlour and Alan Brazil criticise Gabriel Martinelli after Inter Milan vs Arsenal
Darren B🍨ent tipped Gabriel Martinelli to explode at Arsenal thi🔜s season, but the Brazil🐼ian has endured a lukewarm campaign at best so far.
Starting on the left flank, the Brazilian was actually one 🐷of Arsenal’s best players on the night but failed to make it count with a goal or an assist.
Speaking about his current form, Alan Brazil said he was ‘infuriated’ by his general gameplay, adding that Martinelli sometimes ‘does his head in’ while watching him.
Ray Parlour wasn’t as scathing with his verdict but admitted that the Arsenal a🌞ttacker hasn’t failed to produce the required end product so far.
“He’s got that pace, hasn’t he when he goes past players?✅” s𒐪aid Parlour on talkSPORT.
“But he’s got to have ♔end product and that’s the most important th𒅌ing for any winger.
“You can beat players and do what you gotta do, but when you get into that final third – that’s probably w💦here they’ve been lacking. The qualꦕity in the final third hasn’t been good enough.”
Martinelli’s stats this season
Arte๊ta praised Martinelli after his performance against Shakhtar Donetsk, ♌but the Brazilian has failed to build on his exploits from his previous European game.
