‘He has a bit of Ozil in his play’ – Arsenal fans roast Jeff Reine-Adelaide
Arsenal fans have taken to social media to criticise the performance of Jeff Reine-Adelaide.
The youngster started for the Gunners during their clash with Sutton United but failed to impress the traveling supporters.
Arsenal ended up winning the game 2-0 however, Reine-Adelaide – who was playing in Mesut Ozil’s position – failed to score or provide an assist.
The 19-year-old was taken off in the 74th minute and replaced with Maitland-Niles.
Arsenal fans took to social media after the game to slam Reine-Adelaide and even compared him to Ozil.
Jeff Reine-Adelaide is a promising player but he has a bit of Ozil in his play. He shirks off the tuckles.

A few good touches from Reine-Adelaide but he didn't have much of an impact overall. Maitland-Niles kept ball well when he came on.

Massively disappointed with Reine-Adelaide. Mainly because I know he's much better than he played tonight.
