Arsenal struck the bad side of the fine margins – suburban suburbs

The primordial feeling that I have this morning is a frustration.

The frustration that we have not deleted the hoodoo not to win in Anfield.

The frustration that we did not make a solid half of the first half.

Frustration in the face of injuries.

Frustration in the face of a dominant media account that “Arsenal obtained what they deserved”, as if we had not canceled Liverpool as much as they did, but I can simply avoid the newspapers today and for the next few days, I think.

Arsenal came to Anfield yesterday without Kai Havertz, without Bukayo Saka, with Martin Odegaard does not clearly correspond. Christian Norgaard and Ben White also did not make the match of the match day and in the warm-up, William Saliba twisted his ankle that we discovered in the post-post-post match. He only lasted four minutes. The positive was that Christian Mosquera was not mistaken and the at ease on Anfield cannot be underestimated. This child looks very good and while in the season, a saliba injury means a big step down (remember the days of Rob outfit?) In class, the Gulf does not seem so much now and if he is absent for a little spell, I hope we have a guy who will minimize any damage. The good news is that there is an international break now and if we have a saliba at home for a week to overcome this twisted ankle, then that suits me, so I hope it is nothing serious and we can find it soon.

As Mosquera proved that we can have capable deputies, Noni Madueke, who I thought I was our best attacker player yesterday and caused a lot of problems to Kerkez. It is so fast and clearly one of our tactics was to try to exploit the space behind the rear Liverpool, because we have distributed deeply a few times and Madueke almost ended a few times. I like what I see of him and the step of Bukayo Saka is obviously there, but Madueke makes us better in the absence of Saka.

On the other hand, however, we have to start talking about Gabriel Martinelli, because his performance has left little excited. I think that the general consensus among arsenal fans is that it is out of shape and does not deliver, but we are approaching the period when you can see it losing its place more regularly. He never really tried to go beyond Szoboszlai, he ran a few blind alleys and I am surprised that Artata left him on the ground as much as he. I think most arsenal fans are like me; We are desperate to see the Martinelli of three season ago, but the reality is that he has not looked like this player for some time. He did not have a big pre-season and yesterday had the impression that Arteta said “You are doing normally to Anfield, so show me how good you are-here is your chance”. Martinelli did not take it and when he was replaced by Eze at 70 minutes, we saw more from the international in England in his cameo than from Brazilian. With Trossard also a guy who is more likely to play this position on the left, in addition to the fact that he looked impressive when he came against Leeds last weekend, Martinelli will find himself third or fourth in the hierarchical order based on performances as yesterday.

The game as a whole, however, was very tense and tense on both sides. It was like two heavyweights sometimes making a little shadow boxing, neither of the two teams really wanting to try and expose himself. Apparently, it was one of the lowest XG matches in the history of the Premier League and I can believe it; There was not a lot of chances created and no attack has really clicked. So, a 0-0 draw was probably the right result, until Szoboszlai hits this free kick at 30 years. Hit fantastic, fantastic goal, it is the difference in fine margins that decided a tight match and I think that even Arne Slot said that if this game was played 10 times, it probably ends with a draw for these times. But it was this aberrant value and we return home with nothing.

What we can say, however, is that we are a very good team and that we will be better and I certainly choose to take positive points this morning. We played a Liverpool team in its own right away from us with some of our best missing players and we easily equaled Liverpool. We opted for the physical side of the game with Merino instead of Odegaard and I thought that in this first half, we have ahead of the duels. Liverpool returned a little more and we have lost some 50-50 more, but we have always held Liverpool at a distance and have really limited their creation of chance. They are considered the best team in the League and we managed to keep them at a distance. Zubimenddi was once again excellent and I thought that Calafiori and Timber played well too. Gykerres has been canceled, but in a game like this in Anfield, it will probably always happen.

We finished yesterday, but it’s probably the most difficult terrain to go and we were equal to the champions. I think we have to draw the positive points and that’s what I choose to do this morning. It does not help that we now have an international break from Poxy when the new season is starting to get into play, but there is not much that we can do it. Arteta will take a look at the result, he will examine what we might have been able to do in an offensive sense (because I certainly think there are lessons to learn there, so I hope that we will come back stronger at home in a forest of Nottingham who lost 3-0 at home against West Ham yesterday.

Back tomorrow with some thoughts. But if you want to get a little more criticism, we made the same old Pod Arsenal yesterday that you can consult here.
