At least they have changed a few things and it seems to be going back in the right direction. Definitely. Just need to get rid of kronke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or it could be that Arsenal have played 7 games against teams that they should be easily beating with the players they have? The two decent teams Arsenal have played this season, they lost both. That said, I think you lot will probably beat us next week. We are in horrible form, despite only dropping 4 points all season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well losing against Man City is no real shock, plus this is a manager who is changing the style of play which is not going to be shown on the first game we played, it would of been better to of started against an easier team but thats just how the fixtures work out. Arsenal can only beat what is in front of them, they are gradually getting better every game and they will judged now against Liverpool as they have had time to adjust. The main point I was making at first as we saw with England in the World Cup and in their recent game, why waste all of the teams energy in the first half trying to win the game when its over 90 minutes, Arsenal seem to finish stronger as they have conserved their energy.

On paper the 7 games mentioned are easier than against the usual suspects but we all also have to understand where Arsenal are coming from in recent times where we have been so unpredictable that we could lose against any team and that means ANY team! To have mounted this run in conjunction with league games and Europe (10 games in total) is something I definitely wasn't expecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Artful Dodger 1,831 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Arsenal should beat Liverpool on current form, but both are nowhere near Manchester City, who will pull away sooner or later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate, we all know City are going to win the league (and so they should given the squad and money thrown at it), no need to bring it up in every discussion. What does Man City have to do with Arsenal and Liverpool's current form? City came to Anfield BTW and for the first time ever employed Mourinho tactics and stuck 10 men behind the ball.

I thought they had the better of that game to be honest, only an utterly insane decision to let Mahrez take a penalty cost them all three and for me they'd have been deserved.

They had one shot on target I believe whereas Salah shanked 3 chances he'd usually bury. I'm not saying we were the better team but Pep certainly altered his tactics to try and get a result. He said as much himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,661 Posted October 23, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted October 23, 2018 City comfortably outplayed Liverpool at Anfield. If one of the current top two have adapted their tactics to be more conservative recently it certainly isn't Man City, not that there's anything wrong with it but let's get our facts straight.

MadLad's post about City 'parking the bus' is very wrong but so is yours saying City comfortably outplayed us. It was a fairly even game on the balance of play that we were fortunate to draw with the late penalty miss. City were certainly more cautious than ever in that game though and both teams seemed happy with a draw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I agree with this. Manchester City clearly adapted their gameplan in a more conservative fashion to prevent Liverpool playing, they are so good that they can still dominate possession whilst doing this but they barely threatened. It's not a crime to do this by the way, their seems to be some image conjured up where Guardiola is some free flowing zealot who just goes gung ho and let's this 'pure football' roam free. Far from it, he's always been a very capable defensive coach. Remember Barcelona in Europe under him, they barely won away from home in the knock out rounds and were often far less adventurous than they were at home.

Nah mate, I think you must have watched a different game. Apart from the penalty, City barely got a sniff of a goal. They won the possession stats but it was us that created the better chances.

The XG from the game suggests Man City created the slightly better chances. Liverpool's was 0.43 and Man City's was 1.07... It also suggests it was a shit game.

Not saying he is a better coach but he has started of better than most. Trying to think of the last arsenal manager who started of really well.
