#2 Matt Macey is here to stay
The 23-year-old was only given his first start for the club last month, but in his 2nd start of his Arsenal career, Macey kept his first clean sheet for the club.
In an interview with the club website, Arsène Wenger said that Matt Macey came to the club late, so his development has been stunted. But by the looks of it, Macey has grown by leaps and bounds since arriving at the club.
Tonight, the Englishman made three saves and came out to claim 1 cross tonight. Besides one miskick, Macey looked confident on the ball and comfortable with playing out from the back. On top of that, the 23-year-old made crucial saves that kept his teammates in the game.
The several times Belgrade were through on the goal, Macey’s massive physical frame clearly put off opposition players from hitting the target. With Petr Cech’s ability deteriorating by the day, Matt Macey’s recent emergence has come at the perfect time.
