Mikel Arteta, the Arsenal manager, has voiced his frustrations over Eberechi Eze's lackluster performance against Chelsea, particularly after a stellar display in the north London derby where Eze scored twice. Many fans and analysts were hopeful that Eze would maintain his momentum after a standout performance just days prior. However, his inability to deliver in a high-stakes match against Chelsea raised questions about his consistency.

Eberechi Eze, who made a significant transfer from Crystal Palace to Arsenal for £67.5 million, has shown flashes of brilliance, but his achievements have been largely tied to the north London derby, where he has scored five of his six league goals this season. This inconsistency in his performance has become a point of concern for Arteta, who previously showed confidence in Eze by retaining him in the starting line-up after his derby success.

As the season progresses, Eze's form will be crucial for Arsenal's ambitions. The management and fans alike are hoping that Eze can replicate his derby magic consistently rather than relying solely on moments of brilliance. The pressure is now on him to step up as the club seeks to capitalize on its strong start to the season, demonstrating that their significant investment in Eze was worth it.
