Hey r/gunners
I have just listened to the Arsenal Sweden podcast where it has discussed among other things about popular Arsenal players who were perhaps worse in reality than what our fans have wanted them to be.
I heard names like Elneny, Hleb and Santi Cazorla and then I lost it! Santi Cazorla was not as good as Arsenal fans think he was! What??
The man is one of my favorite arsenal players Emirates era, a magician on a pitch. I’ve always believed that Santi Cazorla doesn’t get the recognition he truly deserves. His time in football was filled with moments of pure magic.
Do you agree with me or am I totaly wrong on this one? I’d love to hear your thoughts and memories of his time in football.
How would you rate Santi Cazorla’s skill and influence on the game?
What were some of your favorite moments or matches featuring him?
Do you think he’s often underrated or overlooked in discussions of top midfielders?
EDIT: I’m so happy to read the appreciation Santi deserves and I just wanted to add that I disagree with that podcast about Hleb as well but wanted only to focus on Cazorla in this one.
The only thing he could be underrated is he missed quite games because of injury but still has been one of the most beloved player besides we don’t love Rosicky or Wilshere as much as him. About skill, seriously anyone who watched the game can’t doubt it.
