Ian Wright says Arsenal player looks ‘shaky’

Speaking of Wrighty’s House PodcastIan Wright analyzed Arsenal’s performance against Crystal Palace on Monday and wasn’t impressed by Gabriel Magalhaes.

The Gunners were embarrassed by the Eagles this week as they lost 3-0 to Patrick Vieira’s side and as you can imagine there was some underperformance.

Nuno Taveres was substituted early, but Wright singled out Gabriel as one of the worst players of the day, stating that he looked shaky and awkward at the back.

what was said

Wright spoke about some of Arsenal’s worst players against Palace.

“There were too many shaky players, I thought Tavares was very shaky and I thought Gabriel was very shaky in the way he controlled and passed it, everything was awkward, he just looked awkward and even to a certain extent Ramsdale, when they gave it back to him, the crowd was right on him,” Wright said.

pressure is on

Gabriel looked poor against Palace and the timing may not be a fluke.

We are heading towards the end of the season in business terms and for the first time in years Arsenal have a real chance of finishing in the top four.

However, Spurs are breathing down the neck and after Tottenham put a marker on Sunday the pressure was on Arsenal to show up against Palace.

Unfortunately, Gabriel seems to have come under pressure and he needs to clear his head as we head into the final furlong of the season.
