'Arteta won't let him have a chance': Arsenal fans disappointed with Mikel's treatment of Emile Smith Rowe

Emile Smith Rowe decided against leaving Arsenal this summer even though he had offers on the table.

However, the 23-year-old midfielder is yet to feature for the Gunners four games into the new Premier League campaign.

And some Emirates supporters believe that Mikel Arteta is making a mistake by not giving Smith Rowe a chance to prove himself on the pitch.

hihbhu (via /r/Gunners): "I feel like even towards the end of last season when ESR was fine to play he didn't get many chances."

AntDogFan: "I think (hope really) that he is getting the Martinelli treatment and soon he'll be ready. We will soon know when the games start coming thick and fast."

nfornear: "I mean, Smith Rowe has been fit for a long time now but he hasn't really gotten many chances."

Funland_06: "Every player deserves the chance to fight. It's a shame Arteta won't let Smith Rowe have a chance."

assoncouchouch: "I think they are switching his starting position to be more interior than exterior so that might explain holding him back."
