The fall-out from Sunday continues as Mikel Arteta and Jurgen Klopp both cop a load of flak. But there are also plenty of considered opinions.
I wrote in after Liverpool lost to Man Utd in the FA Cup, stating that they’d been riding their luck all season, and it’d simply run out. I got loads of abuse from Liverpool fans, understandably. I wonder if they still feel the same way!
Even their recent home win against the bottom club Sheff Utd was flukey.On a separate note, surely it’s not a coincidence that ever since the thoroughly deserved loss to United in the cup , Pool just don’t look the same team. Perhaps the psychological effects of losing in the injury time of extra time to the bitter enemy, have been underplayed.
Seeing us make the same mistakes as we did against United but this time even worse I also expected a defeat against Glasner’s Palace via the exact same tactics that had undone us in 60% of recent games and lo and behold…it did. The only piece of the article that had any truth to it was Salah. The rest was complete horseshit and he only looked at the league table in previous seasons to determine his writing.
3. Angeball will get Ange sacked. Aye, it’s pretty and everything, when it works, but Levy will never spend the money to sustain it to any great, long-term effect. He needs a plan B or he’s gone before the end of next season. Let me start form the beginning, Arteta found us as an almost lost cause after the forced decline and took us to heights not seen since before the rise of man city. for that we ought to be grateful to him. He also returned an exciting style of football Arsenal is known for, for that too, we ought to be grateful both as football lovers generally and Arsenal fans in particular.
What was strange to me though is that that deficiency was addressed by bringing in someone who , is somewhat at the same level as Ramsdale as replacement, his name is David Raya. We are told he is more comfortable at using his feet but certainly a marginal improvement to Ramsdale in my opinion. Just what was this supposed to accomplish I am left me wondering to this day.
2. Jorginho and Smith has no business coming in to play in the second half. The second goal was an error pass done by Jorginho. Because, bizarrely enough, no owner has ever asked me about who they should sell the club to, nor have they ever disclosed to me which people they’ve ‘tapped up’ or who they’ve paid ‘off the books.’ Similarly, I’ve never had a phone call from the club hierarchy asking me which manager we should hire next, or which players we should buy or sell.
What does this means with regards to the current season? The most obvious fact is that Man City is not as infallible as it used to be. This is important as the season winds down: City’s remaining fixture is full of potential potholes for the reigning champions. The most obvious one may be the trip to Tottenham’s, not so much from a stat point of view but because City’s miserable record visiting The Stadium.
So summing up, while it is unlikely that Liverpool may regain its form, there are good arguments for and against the remaining two horses in the race. Manchester City have the pedigree; Arsenal have the numbers to state their case. My bet is that Tottenham will have the last say in the title race. As mentioned, their xGD/90 tells the story of a where no one knows what to expect, yet they score more than it and concedes .
Everyone previously agreed that there was no quick fix with Utd. Open heart surgery takes longer than a couple of seasons and a few transfer windows. So why are people seemingly forgetting this by expecting us to consistently play well? Nearly a decade of mismanagement and money wasted, creating the wrong culture at the club, is not an easy thing to unpick.
