‘Moves like he’s never kicked a ball in his life’ – Arsenal fans slam Leandro Trossard for horror miss in Leicester game
ARSENAL fans didn’t hold back in their assessment of their makeshift front three after Leandro Trossard missed a golden opportunity against Leicester. Trossard, alongside Ethan Nwaneri and Raheem Sterling, had the spotlight on him as Arsenal tried to create opportunities with a cobbled together attack given their injury crisis.

The miss left Arsenal fans fuming online with the Gunners chasing perfection to maintain any kind of title race. One fan wrote: “Odegaard flicks a ball over the top and Trossard moves like he’s never kicked a ball in his life.” While another added: “When you watch that Trossard miss again, it’s actually shocking”. A third fumed: “Trossard and Sterling not good enough for Arsenal. They are panicking!” And a fourth angrily posted: “If we don’t see Sterling or Trossard subbed off in the second half, it’s better not to watch the game”. Trossard was asked to operate as a centre-forward in the first 45 minutes with Sterling playing left-wing and 17-year-old Nwaneri on the right flank. Arsenal have been dealt injury blow after injury blow this season and things went from bad to worse this week. CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS After opting against adding attacking depth to the squad in the January transfer window, Mikel Arteta lost starting striker Kai Havertz for the rest of the season with a torn hamstring suffered during a warm weather training camp in Dubai earlier in the week. Havertz joins Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli in the treatment room with Arsenal’s fit attacking options limited. Fortunately for Arteta there was some good news in terms of injuries this weekend. Right-back Ben White returned to the squad after being out since November following surgery on his knee. Arteta knew he wouldn’t have attacking options off the bench today, but yet still found the answers over the course of the 90 minutes. After his attacking line couldn’t come up with the goods he rolled the dice on playing midfielder Mikel Merino at centre-forward. A gamble that paid off after the Spaniard scored twice in six minutes to give the Gunners the edge in a 2-0 win at the King Power.
