    ‘Attack plays better with Trossard’ one of those myths the Arsenal fanbase believes, similar to ‘Giroud cost Özil a title’. Just bring up the attacking data when we play with vs without Eddie and the debate answers itself.

    A striker without the legs to go behind and stretch the defence in 2023 you know. Trossard as a 9 is a last resort.

      Pretty sure anyone who watched that period knows we played more fluid football with Trossard. Still, I can’t disagree that that was last season and may now be out of date.

        They may think they know, but they don’t. The volume and quality of chances we created and number of goals we scored was no different, in fact if I remember correctly it was more impressive when Eddie was playing.

          Eye test alone it looked like Trossard played more like how we want Jesus to play and bring in the wingers. This season it hasn’t worked and I would want Eddie up top over him.

          At least Eddie and Jesus try to challenge center backs. Trossard shies away from that
