McManaman said Arsenal do not play entertaining football like Barcelona and that the team defends deep, which means Gyökeres and Havertz sometimes take the blame, while at other times the focus is on the midfielders and defenders.
Arsenal face Hull City at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday in the Premier League. The team are top of the table with 24 points, according to the source.
