Hupu reported on September 22 that in a previous Premier League match, Arsenal drew 1-1 with Manchester City. In an interview with the BBC, Walcott also talked about his views on Arsenal's deployment of troops.

Walcott said: "I was a little disappointed not to see Eze in the Arsenal starting lineup. But in my opinion, he should have performed better in the mid-week Champions League. However, I think Eze needs to adapt to Arsenal's new tactical system and the team's richness in personnel selection."

"Looking at Arsenal's starting eleven players against Manchester City, it gives people a feeling of being a little conservative. But letting a player like Eze play a key role in the last 20 minutes of the game."
