Arsenal fans must get behind Nuno Tavares and Albert Sambi Lokonga until the end of the season. The pair have come under criticism after some disappointing performances, but both players will be crucial to Arsenal’s Champions League hopes.
After it was confirmed that Kieran Tierney will be out for the rest of the season, and Thomas Partey will be sidelined for a large chunk of the campaign, fans started to doubt Arsenal’s top-four credentials. And rightly so, as Partey and Tierney were key to Mikel Arteta’s system 4-3-3 system that was flourishing before the 3-0 Crystal Palace defeat.
However, fans must display faith in Tavares and Sambi Lokonga. Both players have had excellent spells in the squad this season, and it is important that fans rally behind both of the youngsters so they can regain the form that helped Arteta’s side push for a Champions League place earlier in the season.
