Arsenal fans slam Trossard for wasted chance against Leicester

Arsenal supporters did not mince words in their assessment of Leandro Trossard after he failed to convert a prime scoring opportunity in the match against Leicester City.

With Arsenal’s attacking options limited due to injuries, Trossard was thrust into a prominent role alongside youngster Ethan Nwaneri and Raheem Sterling. However, the Belgian forward drew criticism when he squandered a golden chance created by a brilliant lofted pass from Martin Odegaard, instead producing a weak effort straight at Leicester goalkeeper Mads Hermansen.

The miss sparked outrage among Arsenal fans online, with one supporter writing: “Trossard moves like he’s never kicked a ball before.” Another added: “That Trossard miss was truly shocking on second viewing.”

Some fans directed their frustration at manager Mikel Arteta, with one stating: “If Trossard and Sterling aren’t subbed off at halftime, this game isn’t worth watching.” The attacking trio’s struggles highlighted Arsenal’s injury woes, which worsened this week with striker Kai Havertz ruled out for the season.

Despite the attacking difficulties, Arsenal found a way to secure victory. Midfielder Mikel Merino came off the bench to score twice in six minutes, giving the Gunners a 2-0 win at the King Power Stadium. The result keeps Arsenal in the title race, though fans will be hoping for improved performances from their makeshift forward line in the coming weeks.
