For this match, considered Arsenal’s worst since the start of the season, the former Genko player was noted by many British dailies as the most disappointing element of the Londoners. Failing to complete the slightest dribble and imprecise in his passes, he lost the ball no less than 12 times, gave the impression of slowing down the game and faded as the game progressed. Anonymous and without impact in a role that is not his, Trossard was replaced on the hour mark.”I’m sure Mikel Arteta will make changes (for the next match)“analyzed Joe Cole, the former England international converted into a consultant. “Arsenal could quickly find themselves 10 points behind (on the leader). I’m sure Arteta will change several things because Trossard wasn’t in it, he’s fantastic but there will be changes.”
gullHe does not have the same influence as Odegaard.
The Devils’ ratings abroad: CDK at the top, Fofana decisive and Trossard in the tough
While this week The Mirror sends him again to Saudi Arabia for €45 million, to Al-Ittihad (Mohammed Kudus would replace him at Arsenal), everyone knows that the Belgian excels when he can cut inside, provoke his direct opponent and make use of his speed. Impossible things to do when he is immediately found in the axis, facing a compact block. “Trossard is a good player but he doesn’t have the same influence as Odegaarddetailed Micah Richards. He still scores important goals.”
Leandro Trossard, the most skillful wrong footer in the entire Premier League: he can even kick corners with his left foot
Against Liverpool, Bayern and even Chelsea last season. This year, despite his nine starts, he has only scored two goals. One as a starter, one as a substitute. Which obviously raises the questions: is he better when he starts or when he can enter the game? Even Etihad or Arteta supporters obviously don’t know. One thing is certain: his playing intelligence and his versatility do not always serve him and sometimes force him to take on roles that do not suit him. Will he still have to do it against Inter this Wednesday?
