Former Arsenal striker Walcott commented on the key battle to draw with Manchester City when he participated in the program.
Odegao was absent in this game, and Arsenal coach Arteta chose a midfield trio composed of Suvimenti, Rice and Merino - the same lineup that lost to Liverpool 0-1 this season. Many people believe that such a lineup arrangement makes Arsenal seem too conservative. Eze came on as a substitute in the half and gave an assist at the end of the game.
"I was a little disappointed not seeing Eze in Arsenal's starting lineup," Walcott said before the start of the game. "But in my opinion, he could have performed better in the Champions League in the mid-week. But I think he needs to adapt to Arsenal's new tactical system and the team's rich personnel choices."
"Arsenal's starting lineup against Manchester City gives people a bit conservative feeling, but having a player like Eze plays a very important role in the last 20 minutes of the game." Walcott continued.
