Arsenal fans have been raving about the performance of Eberechi Eze, who has been one of their best performers against Inter Milan.
The Gunners have stormed into a 2-1 lead in the first 45 minutes at the San Siro, with Gabriel Jesus netting a brace against Inter.
Imagine it’s the Champions League final tomorrow and you could only start one player out of Eberechi Eze and Martin Odegaard. Who are you picking and why?
Mikel Arteta’s team are well on their way to making it seven wins from seven in the Champions League following an impressive first half.
Now, the Arsenal fans have a lot to say about Eze, who is showing his manager why he should be playing more often.
Arsenal fans are loving Eberechi Eze’s performance vs Inter Milan
Arsenal fans have been full of praise for Eberechi Eze’s performance against Inter Milan, especially how direct he has been with the ball.
The England international has played with real intent, always looking to play forward, and he played a key role in the first goal.
Eze has not played much football recently; however, he is proving why it is now time for Arteta to bring him back into the team.
During the match, Arsenal fans have taken to social media to praise the winger’s play and believe that he is playing exactly how a number ten should.
One fan said: “You see that directness from Eze, simple. That’s what you need from your number ten.”
“You see how Eze was direct with his pass into the box before that goal? Odegaard would have sent it sideways. That’s the difference,” claimed another.
Half-time at San Siro! Who impressed you most in the opening 45 minutes?
Challenge: Try not to say Gabriel Jesus 😅
A third added: “I really like how direct Eze is. He plays forward with urgency in the final third; that goal happened because of it.”
There was yet more praise for the attacker: “Eberechi Eze. The centre progression, the fluidity, the tempo. It’s no surprise we actually play football when technical ballers are in the team.”
Finally, another added: “Honestly, Eze is so much better than anyone we have in the ten. The way he plays it is so direct to Jesus. If that were Odegaard, he would’ve either gone back or sideways.”
Martin Odegaard will be watching on from the bench and should be worried about losing his place in the team to Eze.
