A pinch-me moment happened in real-time when Eze walked out at the Emirates for the first time<\/a>, but it\u2019s fair to say that reality has hit in a way no one really anticipated. <\/p>\n Six times already this season, the summer signing has been an unused substitute, and fans are becoming frustrated. <\/p>\n Agree or disagree, Mikel Arteta will show a weakness if he doesn\u2019t drop Martin Odegaard for Eberechi Eze <\/p>\n \ud83d\udc47 Join the debate; share your insight.
