Ian Wright and Fans Criticize TNT Sports’ New Camera Angle During Arsenal’s Win Over Luton
The use of a new ‘Game Mode’ camera angle during TNT Sports’ coverage of Arsenal’s 2-0 win against Luton on Wednesday did not sit well with some fans, including Arsenal legend Ian Wright. The camera angle, which tracks the ball and moves across the pitch, was met with criticism on social media, with fans expressing their displeasure.
Wright took to social media to question the new camera angle, posting: “What’s this camera angle ?!” followed by a bin emoji. Other fans also voiced their frustration, with one saying they couldn’t watch the game anymore due to the angle making them feel nauseous.
The ‘Game Mode’ camera angle was introduced by the Premier League earlier this season and has since been made available to all broadcasters. Some fans compared the angle to watching a FIFA game, with many calling for broadcasters to stick to the traditional camera angle.
Despite the controversy surrounding the camera angle, Arsenal’s win over Luton saw them return to the top of the league, with manager Mikel Arteta rotating his squad and praising the performance of his players. The Gunners managed to secure a clean sheet and two goals, with Arteta highlighting the importance of squad rotation in a busy fixture schedule.
Overall, while the new camera angle may not have been a hit with all fans, Arsenal’s victory and return to the top of the league will surely have pleased supporters.
