I don't get it, he was no worse than Trossard or Havertz today. Why are they allowed to get away with doing **** all?

His struggles are so obvious that even a simple organism like @Rasmi can identify them ffs.

Trossard was getting as much criticism if not more than him in the match thread and Havertz has been levels above Martinelli as a contributor over a long period of time. That's why. Of course someone who is consistently poor is going to get more stick than someone who is occasionally poor.

In defence, wide players in our system are often hung out to dry. You basically have to do something special a la Saka or play for a
corner.

I almost give up on him not learning to stop running into fullbacks. He keep doing it he just keep running into Livramento for no reason Livramento didn't need do a thing just keep up with him. I don't think he need Xhaka type of player these things are basics and he refusing to do them he should watch Saka and learn how a winger should preform

Because he is not getting other options.

Getting the ball on the left side and no LCM close, no fullback to overlap. So he can decide between playing the ball back or trying to create a dangerous situation with a 1vs1.

But his skillset isn't good enough overall to create serious problems for a better fullback. They all pretty much know how to defend him.

Was double marked today as well, and the decision making wasn’t good enough to consistently get out of it.

Got into some good positions in the box but couldn’t get the pass or shot away, a shame.

To be fair to him Jezus struggled as well.

We need to isolate him and then switch out to him quicker. He needs to have that run at goal and if he doesn’t hit the target the ball must go out of play.

What he need to do is stop and pass back at least we'll keep having the ball I don't mind he try but it's very easy to defend against also what helped him 2 seasons ago was G.Jesus connection

so easy to defend against, seems to get outpaced in the last couple of yards by defenders - but neither Trossard nor Sterling are proper answers out left, so this position has to be a January window priority

Think this is by design for the opposition. If you can make Arsenal funnel the ball over to the left/GM the chances of winning increase dramatically.
There’s legit an athletic article where an anonymous coach from another PL team basically said this.

Arsenal Quotes

Arsène Wenger's idea is not only to play good football. It's to play good football to win. In my day, we knew that with our style we could hurt teams and win trophies too. But we did it our way, with the positional game, passing, movement.
