Arsenal ‘as bad as it gets’ vs Forest as Merson makes grim Eze prediction

Paul Merson criticized Arsenal's display against Nottingham Forest as 'as bad as it gets' despite a late victory secured by Noni Madueke. Speaking on Sky Sports, the pundit voiced concern over the Gunners' lack of attacking incision against defensive opponents, arguing that Mikel Arteta's side struggled to generate clear scoring chances despite dominating possession.

Merson also questioned Eberechi Eze's long-term suitability at Arsenal, noting the midfielder was substituted at halftime against Forest. He argued that the increased pressure, tactical rigidity, and depth at Arsenal make it far more difficult for Eze to thrive compared to his former role as Crystal Palace's primary focal point.
