I’m not as involved as others appear to be about Gabriel Martinelli for the time being.

Sure, it was a mistake for him to get caught offside within the construct as much as the late disallowed aim. He ought to have executed extra to carry his line given he was wanting throughout the pitch.

However the Fulham defenders deserve credit score as nicely. They stepped up simply on the proper time and that additionally led to Martinelli being caught offside.

Arsenal engaged on EXCITING switch raid on Premier League rivals!

I truly thought he was vivid when he got here on and Arsenal regarded rather more of a risk. That they had a stability to their assault which was lacking earlier than he was launched.

I really feel Martinelli simply appears to be getting some unfair criticism for the time being. May he provide extra at instances? Sure, undoubtedly. May his finish product be higher? Once more, sure. However he’s not the most important downside at Arsenal proper now.

Gabriel Martinelli criticism is harsh, however Arsenal have checked out switch targets who might change him

Having stated that, I do really feel the left wing is an space the place Arsenal might enhance and the truth that the membership have chased Nico Williams and Mykhailo Mudryk in current switch home windows counsel they agree.

I’m not saying that Arsenal want to maneuver Martinelli on. I nonetheless assume he has a giant half to play on this squad going ahead, nevertheless it’s fairly clear that an alternative choice on that facet can be actually useful by way of the assault.
