Eberechi Eze has been criticized as Mikel Arteta seemingly loses faith in him following an underwhelming performance during a recent match against Brentford.
Eberechi Eze was substituted at half-time during Arsenal's disappointing 1-1 draw with Brentford, an event that has sparked criticism and speculation regarding his future at the club. Despite being given a starting opportunity in the Premier League for the first time in two months, Eze's performance did not meet expectations, leading to claims that manager Mikel Arteta may not trust his abilities. Eze's lack of impact in the match raised questions about his place in the squad, especially after a substantial transfer fee of £67.5 million was paid to secure his services from Crystal Palace.
The match saw Arsenal initially take the lead after the introduction of Martin Odegaard, who replaced Eze and significantly improved the team's performance. However, Arsenal could not maintain their advantage and ended the match in a stalemate, causing frustration among fans and stakeholders. Eze's recent struggles have compounded concerns over his form since joining Arsenal, with his goal contributions being limited despite a memorable hat-trick against Tottenham in a previous encounter.
As Eze continues to seek a consistent place within Arteta's plan, his performance against Brentford has opened up discussions about whether the midfielder can fulfill the expectations that come with such a hefty price tag. Should Eze not improve in the continuing matches, his position within the squad may be jeopardized, potentially leading to further transfers or changes in the team's strategy moving forward.
