Thierry Henry, an Arsenal legend, has bluntly criticized a 24-year-old talented Arsenal player, suggesting that he shouldn’t be starting matches due to his lack of seriousness and tendency to waste time on the field despite his age.

Henry did not specifically name the player but hinted that it is not Declan Rice, Emile Smith Rowe, or Jurrien Timber. He emphasized that this player often appears disengaged during games, implying that his performance does not merit a starting position in the team.
