Oshaye Hutchinson, brother to former Arsenal academy starlet Omari Hutchinson, took to Instagram to criticise Mikel Arteta’s team selection and his decision not to give any of the Arsenal youth players a run out in the FA Cup game against Liverpool.
Hutchinson’s post on Instagram, under the moniker ‘just1shot_training’, said: ‘Some people owe my brother an apology. All the abuse and hate comments he received when he left Arsenal. I hope you guys are all seeing why!’
Omari Hutchinson had swapped north London for Chelsea back in 2022, and his brother believes this decision was justified. Oshaye further added: ‘This weekend: Man City [youth] debut, Chelsea debut, Liverpool, Spurs youth played. Arsenal [did not]. I feel sorry for my Arsenal youth man. Free the guys.’
Pep Guardiola and Mauricio Pochettino had both given youth players a chance, while Jurgen Klopp had introduced Bobby Clark and Conor Bradley when the game was still level.
Despite training regularly with the Arsenal first team under Arteta, Omari Hutchinson never made a senior appearance. He has one Premier League outing for Chelsea and is currently on loan at high-flying Championship outfit Ipswich Town.
Reflecting on his side’s performance against Liverpool, Arteta said: ‘We didn’t take the chances, I haven’t seen any other team in the first six months that have generated what we have done against them in the last two games and we’re not capitalising – not today, in the last few games – that’s why we are not winning games. Performance-wise, merit-wise, there is no question, but to win the game actually the results say something very different.’
Oshaye Hutchinson believes that Mikel Arteta’s decision not to give any of the Arsenal youth players a run out in the FA Cup game against Liverpool has justified Omari Hutchinson’s decision to leave for Chelsea back in 2022. He has called on people to apologise for the abuse and hate comments his brother received when he left Arsenal.
It is clear that other teams have given their youth players a chance, while Arsenal have not. Omari Hutchinson never made a senior appearance for Arsenal and has since gone on to have one Premier League outing for Chelsea and is currently on loan at high-flying Championship outfit Ipswich Town. For the Gunners, the results speak for themselves, and this could be a step in the right direction for the club.
