Arsenal Transfer News: Reo-Coker Criticises Gabriel Magalhaes
Reo-Coker made this prediction about Gabriel on the CBS Sports podcast House of Champions. A defensive mistake, he thinks, will lead to a victory for Manchester City.
He was quoted by HITC as saying: “I’ll say this now, if I was a captain still playing in this league and in this game, and had a decent striker, do you know what I’d tell my striker? Play on Gabriel. He is going to make a mistake, he is going to do something that will give you an opportunity. He will always make a mistake in 90 minutes or let someone in. Gabriel is still too rash. He doesn’t play at a calm level. The lad is still too emotionally involved every game he plays in.”
Gabriel Magalhaes was criticized by Rio Ferdinand for his error against West Ham United. As a result of the defender’s foul, the Hammers were awarded a penalty. However, they eventually came back from a 2-0 deficit to tie the game.
What’s next for the Gunners?
Said Benrahma scored from the spot to earn a tie for the Hammers, who ended up drawing the game 2-2. Arsenal is gearing up for what may be the most important game of the Premier League season when they travel to play Manchester City at Etihad Stadium. The Gunners have a five-point lead over their opponents at the moment, but they have played two more games.
Both teams still have a shot at the championship thanks to the head-to-head format. But the outcome of this game might change everything. If City were to win, they would cut the deficit to two points and move into first place. But if Arsenal were to win, they would increase their lead to eight points and have a comfortable cushion heading into the stretch run.
Saka’s ability to create havoc during offensive phases, if allowed, may be decisive. Whether or not it will be enough for the Gunners in their massive matchup at the Etihad remains to be seen.
