“He’s not comfortable with the role Arteta is forcing him to play. Fans needs to apologise to for ignorantly blaming everything on him”- Man United Legend Paul Scholes thinks Arteta is using £20M Arsenal player completely incorrectly which is why fans are upset with him and yet to see the best of him- Not Martinelli, not Jesus and not Zinchenko

In a recent discussion on the 2 Robbies Podcast, football pundit Paul Scholes expressed his concerns about Arsenal’s usage of Jakub Kiwior, a £20 million signing from last year. Scholes highlighted the lack of a clear strategy in deploying Kiwior, particularly during the recent game against Fulham, where the Polish international was placed in the left-back position.

Despite Kiwior’s natural inclination towards left-back, he appeared uneasy during the match, often drifting into the midfield.

Scholes criticized this tactical choice, emphasizing that Kiwior seemed uncomfortable playing in a role different from his accustomed left-back position. The performance against Fulham was widely regarded as Arsenal’s worst in 2023.

While Kiwior has showcased his technical prowess in various matches, the lack of a defined role within the squad has become apparent. Arteta, the Arsenal manager, faces the challenge of determining the best position for Kiwior in the team, especially considering his preference for left-back.

However, the attempt to incorporate him into an Oleksandr Zinchenko-like role has proven to be ill-suited to Kiwior’s style of play.

Looking ahead to 2024, it becomes imperative for Arteta to identify and solidify Kiwior’s role within the squad. Starting with the left-back position as a foundation, Arteta can tailor Kiwior’s role to better suit his strengths, potentially creating a specialized position that maximizes the Polish international’s talent.

In doing so, Arsenal aims to unlock Kiwior’s full potential and contribute to the team’s success in the upcoming seasons.
