#2 Arsenal lacked creativity without Cazorla
The little Spanish midfielder was missed by The Gunners in the clash against Middlesbrough on Saturday and Arsenal lacked creativity in midfield without Santi Cazorla. While Elneny and Coquelin put in a respectable performance in midfield, Cazorla’s ability to distribute defence breaking passes were lacking and the team suffered due to that.
On the other hand, Arsenal did manage to create a few chances thanks to Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez, however, Victor Valdes was fantastic in goal for Middlesbrough, leaving the Gunners frustrated. The passing range and interceptions of Santi Cazorla have been an important feature in Arsenal’s 8 game winning streak this season and he was clearly missed.
