BATE Borisov 1-0 Arsenal: 5 Talking Points and Tactical Analysis 

#4 Matteo Guendouzi has a shocking game

Guendouzi had a shocker

Arsenal have endured a stop-start season this term. Several of their high-profile players haven’t got going, with Mesut Ozil and Mkhitaryan the prime examples. Yet, one player who can hold his head up high is Matteo Guendouzi.

However, against BATE, the Frenchman was poor throughout. None of his trademark incisive balls came to fruition, and he was forced to go backwards and sideways most of the time.

Additionally, his dependable dribbling let him down on the night, with him being guilty of losing the ball several times during the game.

The teenager tried to get on the ball and conjure something of note, but sadly one astray pass was followed by another for the entirety of the game. Moreover, he was also caught out defensively at times.

Arsenal fans though shouldn’t worry about Guendouzi just yet as the Frenchman has previously shown the stomach to bounce back from setbacks.

And while the Gunners have a lot of aspects to panic about, Guendouzi definitely isn’t one of them.
