Arsenal: Hector Bellerin not making any new fans
By Rory Picton
Arsenal’s Hector Bellerin has made some controversial comments about a Youtube channel recently, they have since fired back, not its Bellerin’s turn.
Arsenal’s Hector Bellerin has recently made some comments that made some fans not too happy. He has come out and said some harsh things about a Youtube channel called ArsenalFanTV, they were harsh and incorrect. He should have stayed professional and kept his thoughts to himself but he’s said these things and now we have to discuss them.
Couple that with another fresh debacle against Manchester City and it’s safe to say that he is quickly falling out of favor would be an understatement.
Hector Bellerin’s words of wisdom
First of all, his comments against ArsenalFanTV were completely uncalled for. He should have never said anything unless he could back it up on the pitch, which clearly he hasn’t been able to do.

Here are his words, as quoted by the Independent:
"“It does sometimes pop up in your timeline…I think it’s so wrong, for someone that claims to be a “fan”, and their success is fed off a failure, so how can that be a fan? I think there are people hustling, that are trying to make money their way, which everyone is entitled to do…if people want to have fun with it, let them have fun.”More from Pain in the Arsenal3 standout players from 1-0 victory over Everton3 positives & negatives from Goodison Park victoryArsenal vs PSV preview: Prediction, team news & lineups3 talking points from Arsenal’s victory at Goodison ParkMikel Arteta provides Gabriel Martinelli injury update after Everton win"
Bellerin has had an inconsistent season so far. He has played well enough to make it into the team of the week at times, but at other times plays like a school kid with no direction. His runs are mistimed and often leave the defense scrambling to cover for him.
His pace and ball control have never been a worry, but football is about more than that. It’s his attitude and passing that are pissing the fans off. He often behaves like a spoiled kid who doesn’t seem to care about how the fans feel.
His performance against Manchester City in the Carabao Cup was very suspect, to say the least. He never seemed to want to pass forward. It was quite boring to watch actually. His tackling was off, always scared to put a foot wrong, perhaps understandably when coming up against the likes of Sergio Aguero and Leroy Sane. The same was true in the rematch yesterday.
Maybe it’s just a maturity thing where he just needs to grow up and become more seasoned in the Premier League.

With all that being said it goes to show that Arsenal don’t really hold any player back from speaking their minds or being unprofessional. Make of that what you will. What this all comes down to is Hector Bellerin needs to back his word up.
