He was certainly part of the issue, not THE issue. Arsenal like other clubs have identified his shortcomings on the ball and allow him to have it at the back, often without pressure he will give the ball away.

Today Conte, Pedro and William were at fault. Pedro and William were very wasteful in those first 15 minutes, lacking their usual quality in the final third. Conte made the right change at half time but Hazard for me was brought on too late given neither Pedro, Willian or Fabregas was playing anywhere near the top of their game 2 JD half.

Shame as they were not great, in fact looked like 2 average teams until Sanchez and Hazard came on
