BBC pundit pinpoints major issue with Arsenal so far despite early lead

Arsenal have looked quite impressive defensively, and they are well organised at the back. However, they have not been able to control the game in the middle of the park.

PSG have been dominating possession and creating chances. BBC pundit and former Premier League striker Chris Sutton believes it is a major issue for Arsenal right now, and they will need to fix it if they want to stay in control of the game.

Sutton said: “The issue Arsenal have had since they scored is that they can’t keep the ball. PSG keep coming at them, wave after wave.”

PSG have multiple quality attackers at their disposal, and they might eventually find a way through if Arsenal continue to sit deep and consistently lose the ball in the middle of the park.

Arsenal have quality midfielders at their disposal, and they should be doing a lot better in the middle of the park. They will need to control the game and create opportunities for themselves as well. Sitting against a world-class attacking team could prove to be fatal.
