Premier League pundit Steve Nicol has sent shockwaves through the Arsenal faithful, insisting that midfielder Arteta must be dropped from the team’s starting lineup. Nicol didn’t hold back, calling out the player’s recent performances as “underwhelming” and warning that failure to bench him could cost Arsenal crucial points this season.
Fans have erupted across social media, with heated debates over whether Nicol’s criticism is justified or simply stirring drama. Arsenal insiders reportedly fear that the pundit’s scathing assessment could add pressure to the dressing room, intensifying an already tense atmosphere.
The big question now: Will Arteta respond on the pitch, or is he facing a Premier League benching showdown?
