Loser: Gabriel Jesus
It felt like Jesus’ inclusion from the beginning was purely designed with the intention of ending the striker’s objective drought forward of Sunday’s recreation at Chelsea.
However, not for the need of making an attempt, Jesus could not finish a run which now stretches again to the north London derby success in opposition to Tottenham on October 1.
He had probabilities, as he at all times does, however every time he was denied by a fantastic piece of defending, or a wonderful save by keeper Yanick Brecher.
It is eight video games and not using a objective now for Jesus in all competitions. The constructive for Arsenal is that he’s nonetheless contributing, as his brace for assists in opposition to Nottingham Forest demonstrated.
However Arteta will nonetheless be determined to see his huge summer season signing again on the objective path sooner slightly than later.
Loser: Eddie Nketiah
It was one other powerful evening for Nketiah, who has struggled after a vivid begin to the group stage marketing campaign.
He hasn’t been helped by being made to begin on the left-hand aspect of the assault in a few the video games, together with tonight, however he would have nonetheless have hoped to have made extra of an affect.
He did go near scoring within the first half when his header was saved out by Brecher, however aside from that he by no means actually regarded like troubling the Zurich objective.
With Jesus struggling for targets in the intervening time, Nketiah has had a chance to place some stress on the Brazilian, however he has been unable to take it.
Loser: Fabio Vieria
Like Nketiah, Vieira had a wonderful begin to the group stage marketing campaign, however he has been unable to take care of that spectacular kind.
He popped up in a couple of good positions in opposition to Zurich, which was demonstrated by the very fact he had 4 photographs on objective in the course of the 73 minutes he was on the pitch.
His ending was poor, nonetheless, with one miscued try at a spectacular volley summing up his evening.
Vieira continues to be younger and has proven flashes of actual high quality since his summer season transfer from Porto, however there may be clearly fairly a bit of labor to be achieved earlier than he can begin placing stress on the likes of Martin Odegaard and Granit Xhaka for an everyday beginning spot.
