Wright criticises Arsenal’s duo following Leicester’s victory, describing them as “unacceptable” in comparison to a six-year-old.Ian Wright has criticised two Arsenal players following their 2-0 victory over Leicester on Saturday, describing one of their performances as “unacceptable.”

Mikel Merino was the saviour for the Gunners, as the midfielder scored a late brace after coming off the bench as a makeshift striker. This resulted in Mikel Arteta’s team falling four points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool.Raheem Sterling’s loan stint at Arsenal has been less than impressive thus far, as he was caught in the 69th minute for Merino and endured a challenging afternoon.

Additionally, the Gunners legend criticised Leandro Trossard for missing a close-range opportunity.

“I believe Nwaneri has been exceptional in that front three,” Wright stated during his half-time analysis to Premier League Productions. “Raheem Sterling and Trossard…” I believe Trossard had a promising opportunity, the type of opportunity that requires him to execute a more fundamental approach in order to make contact with the ball in a game with the strikers we have. However, he failed to do so. “I believe Declan Rice had a header, but it could have been improved.

We are discussing nit-picking with Declan as a chance, but we have primarily controlled the ball well. However, there have been some offside situations that, in my opinion, are unacceptable at this level.” “It is not a lack of awareness; we are discussing a senior player who has won the Premier League on numerous occasions.”

“Arsenal recognises that these are opportunities. When you observe Trossard running straight, you must be cognisant of your location. It is evident that he is not a striker; therefore, you must always endeavour to locate the final defender and determine his location.”
