With Zinchenko and Kiwior struggling for form and confidence, Arteta has a big decision to make ahead of Wednesday's tie with Bayern Munich
With Zinchenko and Kiwior struggling for form and confidence, Arteta has a big decision to make ahead of Wednesday's tie with Bayern Munichteam this season, particularly since the turn of the year when they have scored goals for fun and kept them to a minimum at the other end, but it increasingly looks as though they have a problem position.has plenty of players, with different profiles, to pick from at left back.
Timber may be the long-term solution, but Arteta has an issue to fix in the short term. It may have gone unnoticed outside of north London, but Zinchenko’s fall from grace has been swift and dramatic. Zinchenko hasn’t had that same level of protection or understanding this campaign and opposition teams have frequently targeted his defensive vulnerability. That was evident at the weekend when Unai Emery instructed two rapid wingers – first Moussa Diaby and then Leon Bailey – to play high and wide to force Zinchenko deep and restrict his ability to get forward. Brighton also targeted him less successfully the previous weekend.
Similarly to Zinchenko, Kiwior has been identified by opponents as a weak point to exploit, which could result in Tomiyasu earning a first start since 2 December in Munich in midweek.
