What Was Mikel Arteta’s Mistake Tonight? Arsenal Needs an Explanation for What Happened in the Match Against Everton.

Mikel Arteta’s decision to substitute Martin Odegaard highlighted his lack of experience in the goalless draw against Everton, as stated by Tim Sherwood.

Speaking on Sky Sports after the match analysis, Sherwood reacted to Arteta’s decision to take his captain off the pitch in the 62nd minute while needing a goal against the Toffees at the Emirates.

Odegaard had several dangerous attempts on goal against Dyche’s team, but Jordan Pickford denied the chances he created.

Sherwood said: “Mikel Arteta’s surprising substitutions brought bad luck to Arsenal.”

If I were Sean Dyche and saw Martin Odegaard being substituted, I would be happy because he was the most dangerous player Everton faced.

Substituting Odegaard with almost half an hour left in the game was not the right decision, especially replacing him with the young player Ethan Nwaneri; it was a chance for coach Dyche to secure a point, “Sherwood said after the game.

Arsenal drew for the second consecutive match, unfortunately, they are falling behind in the Premier League race, which is being led by Liverpool this season.
