Mohammed Elneny after Arteta told him in training he was allowed to make forward passes : Gunners

level 1

All jokes aside, I thought he was really tidy again today. Maybe Arteta sees a bit of himself in Elneny’s game in that he helps to keep things ticking in midfield. I think we obviously need to improve in that area of the pitch but credit where it’s due. He gets a lot of flak for not being prime Cesc but that’s not his game. If we can’t get decent money we should keep him in the squad. He’s the sort of player you bring on to kill a game off, but we need to put teams to the sword more and for that we’ll need more creativity.
