Arteta has recently preferred a system that sees Thomas Partey invert to midfield from right-back, with Ben White and William Saliba preferred centrally but Gabriel has not been given the opportunity to stake a claim for that spot on the left-side of the defence.
When Morgan saw the starting line-up that Arteta had selected he noticed that Gabriel was not involved once again and took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to detail his curiosity. He wrote: “What’s going on between Arteta and Gabriel? Has an Aubameyang feel to it..”
Gabriel has rarely featured for Arsenal this season.
Before later adding: “I don’t get Arteta changing our whole system to accommodate Havertz. Just isn’t working. Put Gabriel back in next to Saliba, move White to right back, and stick Partey in the middle where he belongs. And take off [Kai]Havertz.”
Morgan compared Gabriel’s situation to Aubemeyang after the now-Marseille striker’s relationship with Arteta publicly broke down and he went from being the Gunners’ star man and captain to an outcast after failing to gain the trust of his head coach.
