Mikel Arteta paying price for transfer mistake as Piers Morgan launches Arsenal rant

 

After witnessing his club lose more points in the championship battle against Chelsea on Sunday, Arsenal superfan Piers Morgan immediately resorted to social media to express his frustrations. He was upset that his team had lost more points.


As a result of Arsenal’s tie with Chelsea, Piers Morgan has criticised Mikel Arteta for his failure to acquire a “proper striker” for the new striker position.



After losing ground in the fight for the championship over the past several weeks, the Gunners entered the massive derby match on Sunday with the intention of claiming victory. And despite the fact that Gabriel Martinelli gave them a lead in the second half, they were only able to leave Stamford Bridge with a point after the game ended in a 1-1 tie.


At the top of the Premier League standings, Arsenal are nine points behind Liverpool, and some people feel that this gap will be too great for them to close in the coming months. Arsenal will be taking a break for international competition.



In the aftermath of Sunday’s encounter, Morgan did not waste any time in expressing his dissatisfaction on social media. In addition, he did not conceal the fact that he believed Arsenal’s inability to win all three points was due to the absence of a No. 9 who was capable of producing a lot of goals.


Morgan expressed his frustration by saying, “Absolute sitter missed at the death.” He was referring to a late miss by Leandro Trossard, who was subsequently identified as being offside. Oh my God, we are in desperate need of a good striker. How come Arteta is unable to notice this?

at the 2023–24 season, Arsenal finished the season with Kai Havertz playing as a striker, and the Germany international did find some form at that time. Prior to the summer, the club had expressed interest in acquiring Benjamin Sesko; however, the Slovenian star ultimately decided to sign a new contract with Red Bull Leipzig.

Despite the fact that Sesko signed a deal with RB Leipzig that would keep him there until 2029, reports in Germany over the weekend suggested that he had a “gentleman’s agreement” with the club that might allow him to leave the club in the summer of next year. However, it is not yet clear whether Arsenal would revive their interest in the highly regarded 21-year-old player before it is too late.Arteta stated that he was pleased with how his squad performed after the match, despite the fact that they had lost more points in the fight for the championship. In an interview with Match of the Day, he described his feelings as follows: “I am very disappointed but very proud with what I have seen from the team again.” Even though we tried all in our power to score the first goal, we are extremely dissatisfied with the way that we allowed it to be scored.

Our defensive tendencies and the standards were not even close to being comparable. If you give them room, they will punish you because they have quality, and if you give them space…

“Despite the fact that the team responded in a fantastic manner with the intention of winning, demonstrating initiative, taking risks, and being so dominant, we were not able to score the goal that would have won the game.”

“In every manner, they are able to crush every squad that comes here, but I really believed that we were outstanding. We had a terrible run of luck. Despite the fact that we have crushed one of the top teams in Europe, we have not been able to reach our goals. That is the thing that is lacking.”
