Watford 2-2 Arsenal: 4 talking points in Arsenal draw with Watford in Premier League

#3 Substituting Ozil and Ceballos was wrong

Watford 2-2 Arsenal

Unai Emery wrongfully and untimely substituted Mesut Ozil and Dani Ceballos, as they were providing all the creativity in the middle of the park.

Moreover Arsenal certainly did dominate the game, whenever both of them were on the ball. They both were certainly posing threat to the Hornets but their substitution in succession weakened the Gunners.

They both were replaced by Joe Willock and Lucas Torreira, who took time to settle and do not have enough creativity in midfield as compared to Ceballos and Ozil.

Thus, Arsenal started losing the midfield battle and all the burden got on defence, who succumbed to the pressure made by Watford’s constant attack from the 60th minute of the game.
