Mikel Arteta explained the half-time substitution of Eberechi Eze during Arsenal’s 1-1 draw with Brentford, citing Eze’s limited impact with only 17 touches. Replacing him with Martin Odegaard led to a more dynamic second half for Arsenal, although they were unable to secure a win. Eze has not scored or assisted in the Premier League since November and faced challenges adapting to his new club. Arteta acknowledged the difficulties of playing against Brentford’s chaotic style and emphasized the need for defensive resilience.
