The loss put Arsenal’s striking woes under the microscope once more. Gabriel Jesus fluffed three golden opportunities and had an off day, while Kai Havertz also squandered key moments despite the Gunners’ first-half dominance that led nowhere. “Arsenal’s lack of a proper striker has come back to haunt us,” he blasted on the platform.
“What do you think of Piers Morgan wanting Cristiano Ronaldo at Arsenal? If Watkins was playing for us, we’d have won this 3-0. Not one to shy away from controversy Morgan doubled down on his belief that CR7 would be a goal machine for Arsenal.
“I think @Cristiano would score 25+ goals a season in our team with the service he’d get!” Despite being 39, Ronaldo has scored a remarkable 56 goals in 62 games for Al-Nassr since his big-money move to the Saudi Pro League in January 2023. He’s topping the charts this season with 29 goals, leaving footie aces like Karim Benzema and Aleksandar Mitrovic in the dust.
And it’s not just Arsenal that could do with a bit of Ronaldo magic, according to the TalkTV pundit, who also had a pop at Ten Hag following United’s jammy draw against Bournemouth on Saturday. “I wonder if he’s still ‘sleeping well’ about the way he drove @Cristiano out of the club,” Morgan tweeted, alongside a vid of a miffed Ten Hag legging it from his post-match presser. But when the Dutch boss rocked up, things went pear-shaped, with Ronaldo getting less game time before his bombshell interview on Piers Morgan: Uncensored.
