This Calamity that is befalling us Today is all because of Arteta,We have Academy striker who scored double Hattrick in our last training but Arteta still insist to stick with Merino as His striker, we\u2019re tired of defending without positive result all the time\u201d, Gabriel Magahaes finally explained the reason why Arsenal have been struggling to survive lately<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Should Arsenal continue with the Mikel Merino experiment?<\/p>\n

We are two games into Arsenal\u2019s experiment with Mikel Merino leading the line, and we aren\u2019t sure if we have gotten a definitive answer as to whether the Spaniard can hold down the fort until reinforcements arrive.<\/p>\n

Against Leicester City, in a 2-0 win, Merino came off the bench and looked every bit the centre forward the Gunners needed with a powerful header and neatly taken goal paving the way for a superb brace that has fans thinking maybe he could deliver.<\/p>\n

But then the 1-0 defeat to West Ham happened.<\/p>\n

Merino couldn\u2019t make lightning striker twice and the Gunners, as a result, looked toothless up front and the lack of creativity behind Merino didn\u2019t help his cause either.<\/p>\n

Should Arsenal stick with Merino?
\nThat brings us to the question ahead of Nottingham Forest \u2013 should Arteta deploy Merino up top again?<\/p>\n

Given we have two games and in each one a great reason to both have him start and the other for him not to, this looms as the tie-breaker to see if Merino can offer something when leading the line.<\/p>\n

But is there faith that the Spaniard can deliver?<\/p>\n

\u201cYes \u2013 in relation to the opposition and the options we have, and then what the team generates as well,\u201d Arteta said via arsenal.com. \u201cAttacking players depend a lot on what the team is generating, the chemistry, the fluidity, the areas we are hitting, and how we interact with each other. It worked really against Leicester, but the other day there were a lot of things missing.\u201d<\/p>\n

So Arteta has faith that Merino can be \u201cthat\u201d guy, but does the Arsenal fan base share that same faith?<\/p>\n

We aren\u2019t so sure, but that faith could be ignited against Forest in the same way it was against Leicester, but after the West Ham outing, fans likely aren\u2019t sure if Mikel has it in his locker.<\/p>\n

Of course, if the likes of Martin Odegaard, Declan Rice, Leandro Trossard, and Ethan Nwaneri can get the creative juices flowing, then Merino will have the best chance at getting on the scoresheet.<\/p>\n

If the Gunners are to keep Liverpool within their sights (might already be long gone) and also fend off the possibility of dropping out of the top four, then putting it frankly, Merino will need to offer something to the Arsenal front line.<\/p>\n

Why? Because its top four hopes might rest on it.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
