# Arsenal: Fans rage despite positive stat about Joe Willock

**Loads of Arsenal fans are raging despite a positive stat revealed by [Whoscored](https://twitter.com/WhoScored/status/1257333412152647681) on Joe Willock, who has achieved the third most number of dribbles per 90 minutes of all central midfielders in the Premier League this season.**

The players had to have made 15 or more appearances, as the 20-year old fell behind Mateo Kovacic and Tanguy Ndombele in the rankings.

[LTArsenal](https://twitter.com/ltarsenal/status/1257379772746915854) added their two pence on their Twitter page, claiming that Willock needs to refine his decision making in the final third more, but he is made for the current era of football where there is an emphasis on power and pace.

The tweet was finalised by asking Gunners to imagine the intensity in the midfield if the Englishman was paired up with Matteo Guendouzi and Emile Smith-Rowe.

However, this generated some negative responses from AFC supporters, as they struggled to see how that midfield trio would work together.

These Gooners in particular raged when they read the post:

> Guendouzi can't tackle, win a header… He has extremely naive off ball movement…

> Every time he plays there is no control in midfield. Overhyped imo.
