Chelsea can hijack all the transfers they want but without that Arsenal structure it is pointless. Mikel Arteta might have just put Mauricio Pochettino down
.. Arsenal and Liverpool losing on the same weekend Manchester City strolled to a comfortable victory made for a neat but entirely false narrative. Pep Guardiola’s side are not of the relentless 2019 run-in vintage and remain more likely than not to drop points in at least one of their tough final six games.
Cue a resounding defeat in which the keeper who conceded five goals was their best player. What an incredibly damning and very possibly sack-worthy indictment of Pochettino’s absolute inability to inspire this inexperienced group. They certainly showed this is Chelsea Football Club, just not in the way the manager intended.3) Pochettino cannot avoid blame either.
Chelsea have spent more than £1billion to be mid-table with the worst defensive record in their Premier League history – and it would have been even worse if Manchester City decided to entertain offers for their saviour earlier in the summer. “We saw and Edu especially, he was insistent,” Arteta said after the game. “We both agreed he was a player with huge talent that could develop with us. We were convinced he could add something special.”
Allowing Chelsea to have most of the possession was a deliberate tactic, nullifying the threat posed by quick forwards on the counter and exposing their non-existent combinations in attack. It didn’t feel like Mudryk, Noni Madueke or Nicolas Jackson completed a single pass to each other, and Arsenal picked them off at the most opportune times to start their own moves against a defence trying to rush back into shape.
That shifted when Rice intercepted a loose Badiashile pass to Conor Gallagher in the final third and forced a corner. Arteta immediately turned to the crowd and gestured for them to get louder. It was Arsenal’s first shot in 14 minutes; four would follow in the two minutes thereafter, including the decisive second goal.
