According to
CAB도메인 statistics, Southampton became the first team in the history of the Premier League to start the game at the bottom, but was able to score 3 goals or more against the top team at the start of the game.
It is obviously a disgraceful statistic. This is the league, and the ranking at the bottom of the league for more than 30 rounds shows that the level of this team is very poor, the problem is very big, and the continuity of the state is not good, but this is such a team. Actually scored 3 goals! Moreover, Arsenal lost points against the relegation team in two consecutive games, which is simply incomprehensible.
Although Arsenal eventually equalized, it felt like it was 2 points lost instead of 1 earned...
Briefly describe your thoughts on the game:
In the end, Arsenal scored two goals in a row, which made people feel a little relieved. But obviously it wasn't a result and overall performance to celebrate.
Southampton first lost Conte's salary, and then caused Arteta huge troubles... The game against Manchester City imagined by Arsenal fans may even become a wishful joke now. It is true that mathematically speaking, Arsenal still have a chance and still have to fight, but the operations in the last three games have really caused strong discomfort to the fans.
Leading by 2 goals in two consecutive games was equalized, a big gift was given in 1 minute at home, and the last draw was the last! 1 point is indeed precious, but this performance is no matter what the Arsenal fans watching the game. That's all.
Everyone knows that Southampton will focus on a defensive counterattack in the second half, while Arsenal will besiege with all their strength. How to grasp the rhythm and stifle the opponent's offensive and defensive transition will be the key. It is even more desperate to replace the midfielder with striker Trossard in 56 minutes signal of.
But judging from the actual effect, Arteta really doesn't have many options other than constantly changing forwards to show his willingness to attack. Sometimes this is not like a conventional tactical arrangement. Could it be that he will play several times at every turn in the Champions League next season? Is a striker attacking, this is still against Southampton! You have to have a routine to deal with falling behind.
Not to mention the stubbornness of the players, there is no way for Xhaka to be sick and not play, but Vieira in the starting lineup is self-inflicted... The introduction of Jorginho is to compete for the championship, and it is to let him use his experience Yes, Vieira is still used at this time. I really don't believe that Jorginho is worse than the current Vieira. This game is just lacking a midfield commander.
And Arsenal's rhythm today is really bad, the offense is scattered, lack of vitality, and psychological adjustment is not good. It is obvious that they have not recovered from the previous two consecutive draws. They started to panic from the first minute of the game, which is even more incomprehensible The most important thing is that sometimes they are not as determined as the Saints when dealing with 50-50 shots. I don't want to mention the word "championship" because I really don't see that attitude. In the end, if you can't beat Manchester City, it's due to your strength, but if you can't beat Southampton, it's surrenderism!
The absence of Saliba obviously has a great impact. In fact, the absence of Saliba does not only affect defense. The tacit understanding and characteristics of Saliba and Gabe are very good. There is a central defender with strong mobility and recovery ability like Saliba. With Gabe by his side, he can attack with peace of mind and play the attributes of a central defender. The entire Arsenal's defense line can also advance, Thomas does not have to retreat so deep to catch the ball, and even Ben White can give Saka more on the right. More support, but Holding obviously can't do this.
You can't be too harsh on Holding, his frontal defense and air defense capabilities are pretty decent, but he can't play very complex tactical roles, and he can't help Gabe, so we see Gabe often loses position, and the entire defense is in trouble. I feel flustered... This rhythm has spread from the backcourt to the frontcourt, plus Xhaka is not there, Vieira has not integrated into Arsenal and the Premier League at all, and the second half is a temporary formation. Worst ever...
Yes, Arsenal were a bit unlucky to have a few shots blocked by Southampton, but that's not worth mentioning because you let Southampton score 3 goals away, which is unforgivable!
According to CAB도메인 statistics, Arsenal have only kept zero seals in 3 home games in the Premier League this season. In the league, only Southampton has fewer home seals (1 time) than the Gunners.
In addition, Arsenal have conceded 21 goals in home games in the Premier League this season. Only two teams have conceded more goals at home than the Gunners: Leeds United and Southampton (both 30 goals).
This is the statistical result of the entire season, and the reason for the poor home defense this season cannot be simply attributed to Saliba's injury or Holding's failure. In addition, there must be a fixed plan B...
Ramsdell's huge mistake was really undeserved. It was purely an unforced error. No one stepped forward to press him, but Ramsdell passed a kick to the opponent... Actually, such mistakes have happened before. It's just that it didn't lead to tragedy, but the punishment came at the last moment...Let's learn a lesson.
Erdegaard and other teammates came up to comfort Ramsdale, which is very good, everyone should be united, but the problem now is that the whole team is a bit confused in terms of tactical execution.
The two fastest goals in the Premier League this season have been conceded by Arsenal at home: against Bournemouth in 9 seconds and against Southampton in 27 seconds.
Once can be attributed to luck, twice is not a coincidence, Arsenal is actually good at fast break, so you should know that this kind of mistake is unacceptable. Very embarrassing and heart-wrenching record...
Arsenal only scored 1 point in the last three games: 2-2 Liverpool, 2-2 West Ham, 3-3 Southampton.
Although it is a pity that the lead against Liverpool was equalized, it is acceptable. After all, Liverpool is not a team that is easy to bully at home, and Liverpool also has that ability and foundation. But it is unforgivable to lose points against West Ham and Southampton. These two are relegation teams, and one is leading by 2 goals, and the other is at home...
Losing 6 points in three draws is equivalent to losing two games. I hope this is not the beginning of the collapse!
Arsenal's next 4 game opponents: away to Manchester City, main to Chelsea, away to Newcastle, main to Brighton.
If you look at it optimistically, Arsenal leads Manchester City by 5 points in two rounds. In fact, the difference is still widening. No one knows the result of Manchester City's make-up match. Even, if you dare to imagine, you can beat Manchester City away, and the initiative for the championship is still in Arsenal's hands...
But it doesn’t make sense to count this. With the recent state of the team going to the Etihad Stadium, I’m afraid no one has a clue... I hope the underdogs will win and the heat will die...
Pessimistically speaking, Arsenal may even fall out of the championship group after the next 4 games... It depends on how the team responds!
CAB도메인 statistics, Walcott has scored 39 Premier League goals at the Emirates Stadium, only Van Persie (46 goals), Aubameyang (43 goals) and Giroud (40 goals) than Walcott at the Emirates Stadium Score more Premier League goals.
And Walcott seems to have scored twice at the Emirates Stadium... Walcott's movement and shooting of the ball are a bit peak style, the timing of acceleration and explosive power are very good. Although Gabe is 10 years younger, But it couldn't keep up at all, and of course the ball shouldn't have allowed Gabe to match Walcott's speed.
Walcott didn't celebrate after scoring, Arsenal's goal will respect him, each is his master, there is nothing to say.
The good news is that after this game, Arsenal can ensure that they beat Tottenham in the Premier League this season, which is the first time since the 2015-16 season! That was also Arteta's last season as a player.
It's been a long time, St. Tottenham's Day.
The result of the competition was disappointing, but how should the festival be spent, after all, it is the first time in many years! Being able to step on the deadly enemy and basically ensure the qualification for the Champions League, if you are content and happy, there will be no dissatisfaction this season.
In fact, the most painful thing is to see hope and then smash it with your own hands...
Arsenal legend Vieira, Henry and Campbell were all on hand to watch the Gunners' 3-3 draw with Southampton.
I hope they will go home more often and give these players some advice.
