David Seaman believes he has found the reason for Petr Cech’s recent struggles at Arsenal.
The shot-stopper has looked entirely uncomfortable when playing out from the back, coming close to costing his team goals on multiple occasions.
With new signing Bernd Leno sitting tight as the number two goalkeeper, many Arsenal fans are calling for the veteran to be dropped to the bench.
However, Arsenal legend David Seaman wants blame attributed elsewhere.
Quoted by the Metro, Seaman said:
We’ve got good, strong players,
It’s just that, in that defence, we’re looking a little bit uncomfortable with the back pass.
Petr Cech has been highlighted as though he is messing it up but he’s also getting backpasses onto his right foot yet he’s a left-footed goalkeeper so the defenders need to think about that.
The former England gloveman also wanted to see more variety in the way his old team play out of defence.
At the moment, the plan isn’t working.
You just need to mix it up with a few long balls and then play it out from the back.
