'Can I be honest?' – Ian Wright makes worrying claim about Arsenal players and Mikel Arteta

Arsenal legend Ian Wright has made it clear he thinks that some of the team’s players will have been questioning Mikel Arteta’s selection choices against Manchester City.

The Gunners drew 1-1 at home to Man City thanks to a stoppage time equaliser from substitute Gabriel Martinelli, but many fans and pundits will feel the game was there to be won.

City set up quite defensively at the Emirates Stadium after being thrashed 5-1 there last season, but Arsenal didn’t really take the initiative as many expected.

Arteta started both Martinelli and Eberechi Eze on the bench in a slightly surprising move, and Wright discussed that decision with his fellow pundits on today’s episode of The Overlap.

Arsenal players could be affected by Mikel Arteta’s choices

Wright clearly agreed with the likes of Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher that Arteta should have played Martinelli and Eze from the start of this game.

Neville then asked the former Arsenal striker if he felt those surprise calls could also affect the confidence of the rest of the players in the dressing room.
