The Gunners confirmed a lot of bottle as they swept Tottenham apart 4-1 on the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to go away the hosts involved for his or her Premier League future.

Eze has scored 5 of his six Premier League targets in opposition to Tottenham this season after his hat-trick in opposition to them on the Emirates and whereas Rooney was full of reward for the playmaker’s efficiency, the Manchester United legend insisted he’s not been on the stage anticipated of him on the whole following his £60m summer transfer from Crystal Palace.
After Kelly Somers, the host of his BBC podcast, hailed Eze’s ‘mentality’ and ‘character’, Rooney responded: “I disagree a bit as a result of I don’t suppose he’s been good sufficient this season.
“The two Tottenham video games have shined an enormous gentle on him however in different video games I’ve watched him and not thought he’s been good sufficient.
“I believe rather a lot of that’s in all probability by not enjoying constantly, I get that, however if you discuss mentality and character, if I used to be him I’d be making an attempt to make it very tough for the supervisor to go away me out, each together with your performances and in coaching.
“Clearly he’s not doing sufficient to warrant a spot within the crew constantly. I get that Martin Odegaard is the captain however you’ve bought to make it nearly unimaginable for Mikel Arteta to go away you out.
“After the primary Tottenham sport I don’t suppose he did sufficient to remain within the crew so that you simply hope now for him he performs higher constantly to remain within the sport.
“I think he needs to perform a little bit better than he has so far this season.”

Rooney now doubts if Eze will probably be half of England’s squad for the World Cup this summer.
“I’m not sure Eze will go to the World Cup but he does give you a different option because he can play on the left or in the No. 10,” he added.
“Maybe that will probably be on Eze’s aspect as a result of these gamers are so necessary at a World Cup. In phrases of at Arsenal I believe Eze is best within the penalty field however Odegaard is best when he’s a bit deeper.
“He’s very intelligent and picks up some nice positions, his motion may be very good, you simply need to see a bit extra from him within the closing third.
“If you could combine the two of them you’d have a great player!”
