Mikel Arteta’s new method at Arsenal has drawn criticism from Piers Morgan.
Additionally, he demands that one new addition be immediately removed from the starting XI.
Arsenal drew 2-2 with Fulham on Saturday, giving them their first loss of the year.
A point was saved for the Cottagers by Joao Palhinha’s goal in the 87th minute.
Arsenal, meanwhile, would consider themselves fortunate to come away with anything at all after giving up a blunder barely one minute into the match.
They squandered a ton of opportunities and exposed themselves to many Fulham counterattacks.
Morgan also believes that Arteta’s altered shape is to blame.
With a 4-2-3-1, the Spaniard came close to winning the Premier League last season.
However, he is currently using a shape akin to Man City’s, resulting in a setup resembling a 3-2-4-1.
Gabriel Magalhaes and other well-known men can no longer get in the way.
And Morgan has requested that Arteta return to the fundamentals, starting with the exclusion of German forward Kai Havertz, who is valued at £65 million.
Over the summer, Arsenal purchased him from Chelsea.
But in three games for his new team, Havertz has failed to score or provide an assist.
He was mocked for failing to connect with a cross from Bukayo Saka that was an inch from being perfect and for missing a clear shot against Fulham.
Morgan of Talk TV believes that it is now time to fire Havertz and welcome Gabriel back into the fold.
I don’t understand Arteta modifying our entire system to accommodate Havertz, he tweeted. simply not working.
“Stick Partey in the middle where he belongs, shift White to the right back, and put Gabriel back in next to Saliba.
Likewise, remove Havertz.
The Arsenal supporters seemed to concur with Morgan.
I enjoy Havertz and think there’s a lot more to come, but I don’t see why we’ve abandoned a system that worked so well, one person remarked.
A different person said: “Arteta wants to justify the fee, that’s why he’s on the pitch, he’s made no impact in the game.”
According to one, “It’s not working, he’s trying too many experiments.”
Another person commented, “Arteta rearranged everything as if we had a shocker last season.”
