Alan Shearer has sparked a debate by naming Arsenal's Eberechi Eze as the player who looks 'lost' under Mikel Arteta's management. Shearer's opinion is particularly intriguing given Eze's impressive start at Arsenal, which included scoring a hat-trick in the North London Derby. But here's where it gets controversial... Shearer believes that Eze's lack of playing time in recent months could negatively impact his chances of making the England squad for the World Cup. Eze's last goal or assist in the Premier League was in November, and he has only started one game since mid-December. This has led Shearer to question whether Arteta's tactical decisions are hindering Eze's development. But is this a fair assessment? Or is there another reason for Eze's limited playing time? And this is the part most people miss... The decision to sub Eze at halftime against Brentford was tactical, according to Arteta, as he needed a different type of player to counter Brentford's pressing style. So, is it fair to blame Arteta for Eze's lack of starts? Or is there another factor at play? The former Crystal Palace player could get another chance on Sunday when Arsenal faces Wigan Athletic in the FA Cup. This game presents an opportunity for Arsenal to progress past the fourth round for the first time since 2020. But will this be enough to turn around Eze's fortunes? Or will it be another missed opportunity? The debate rages on, and we want to hear from you! Do you agree with Shearer's assessment? Or do you think there's another reason for Eze's limited playing time? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
