The gunpowder of Arsenal it’s wet. The ‘gunner machine’ works, but repeatedly fails to fire. That is the technical diagnosis of the problems of a team that continues to play well, dominate its rivals and attack a lot, but ends poorly. After their last three defeats (West Ham (0-2), Fulham (2-1), and Liverpool (0-2), on Sunday in the FA Cup), the many mistakes of their forwards are worrying, mainly of logic. . Despite the enormous of Liverpool, the Arsenal of great illusions forgave and disappeared. He ruined all his shots.
It was a moment of certain tension in north London, with expectations running high, and where Mikel Arteta He asked for calm: “We have to reset.” “We have to keep faith in our players,” he added, after being knocked out of the FA Cup. Right now, they’re off to Dubai, for a 10-day winter stint where they’ll try to erase the worry. The families and children of the footballers and the coaching staff are also traveling, with the aim of strengthening the unity of the whole ‘Gunner family’ and seeking therapy for a “psychological problem”, according to the Arsenal coach, which prevents those players to solve. the amount of attack they generate with their dominant style of play. He Arsenal incomplete.
The 0-2 defeat at the Emirates Stadium against Liverpool exposed that ‘mini crisis’ of confidence. It rose so high until Christmas, the remaining leader in the Premier, that now the sudden inexplicable failures of Arsenal have somewhat erased the illusions, in the new year. Around the bars and restaurants of Islington and the neighborhood of Holloway, in vibrant and colorful NorthLondon, there are many comments about the need to sign a goalscorer quickly, before it’s too late. A top former player like Ian Wright He said this: “We need an assassin.” With the reactions of the followers, everyone is talking about it Ivan Toneythe Brentford striker, now returning after his month-long suspension, was a very expensive and difficult signing.
One goal in 63 shots
The analysis of the problem of Arsenal there are statistics to correct. Against Liverpool, the Gunners took 18 shots on goal. No one is successful. Against him West Ham They did not score at the Emirates after making 30 attacks. Days later, in front of Fulham, at Craven Cottage, scored one goal from their 13 shots. In the last three lost games, Arsenal managed just one goal in 63 shots. Despite all the clamor for a new signing, it is reasonable for the club to expect the current forwards to improve their performances. Gabriel Jesús, Havertz, Saka, Martinelli, Trossard and Nketiah They have the quality and talent to be more effective.
He Arsenal He will not play again until January 20, at the Emirates, against Crystal palace. There you can redeem yourself from your mistakes, and also restore the elusive luck. And the shot of Odegaard from the front of the place in front of Liverpool, which fell on the crossbar, will radically change the environment. The “small details” of your machine, according to Artetawhich failed today and which, over the winter holidays, they intend to fix.
