Rio Ferdinand believes Ethan Nwaneri has made a strong case to be granted more playing time for Arsenal following their 1-0 defeat to Inter
Ethan Nwaneri came on in the second half in Arsenal’s 1-0 defeat to Inter in the Champions League on Wednesday evening. Mikel Arteta’s side slipped to a defeat in Milan as Hakan Calhanoglu’s first-half penalty sealed the win for the Serie A champions. Arsenal dominated the second half but came up against a resilient Inter defence who restricted the number of clear-cut chances. Nwaneri was introduced with eight minutes remaining and delivered another bright cameo in Arsenal’s attacking third.
Because he seems to have that little bit of imagination to unlock things when it’s tight. ‘But far too often it was the ball slung into the box without any real idea or you look at it and ask have they got the players in that position, in the centre-forward areas, when you throw the ball in the box, or lump it into the box at times, to capitalise?’ Ferdinand later added: ‘In those areas it’s about being clean, it’s about being clinical, and in those moments you need the players to step up.
