Gabby Agbonlahor has said that Arsenal attacking midfielder Fabio Vieira is not good enough.
The former Aston Villa striker has said on YouTube that Vieira “looked lost” during Arsenal’s match against Southampton at the Emirates Stadium in North London on Friday evening.
The Premier League game between the Gunners and the Saints ended in a 3-3 draw.
Vieira started the match, but the 22-year-old did not play particularly well.
The Portuguese youngster started on the left of a midfield three for Arsenal.
Vieira came off for Leandro Trossard on 57 minutes.
The 22-year-old really struggled in the first half and failed to step his game in the second period before he was taken off for Belgian winger Trossard.
According to WhoScored, the 22-year-old took two shots but neither was on target, played one key pass, had a pass accuracy of 75%, won one header, took 35 touches, and put in two crosses.

Agbonlahor said: “Vieira looked lost yesterday. Not good enough.”
HITC Verdict: Stay positive
In our view, Arsenal fans should stay positive about Fabio Vieira.
Yes, the playmaker did not have a good game against Southampton, but he is still only 22 years of age.
And he does not play regularly for the Gunners.
It is not easy for any footballer to play to his best if he does not get to feature regularly.
We believe that Vieira will come good for Arsenal.
Eventually.
