Hello everyone! Welcome to "Look at the Football and Look at the Way". Today we will talk about Premier League , with Arsenal at home playing against Liverpool . Can Arsenal, who has performed well recently, continue to grab points, or can Liverpool have the last laugh after changing teams? Let's wait and see.
key points: Arsenal's offense is aggressive, with core injuries on the left side; Liverpool's tactics have become conservative, making up for the shortcomings on the right side.
This season, Arsenal's performance is still remarkable. As mentioned in the previous game, Arsenal's home performance is very strong. As of the previous game, he has won 11 consecutive home wins and has very strong home combat power.
Arsenal's offensive firepower this season is fierce and even a bit radical. The entire position is very high. There are often 6 or even more players pressing and oppressing in the frontcourt. It is very common for the defenders and even the midfielder to participate in the pressing over the half. This positioning and offensive initiative can undoubtedly bring the team a very strong ability to grab points, especially when facing teams with not very strong strength, they can quickly break the opponent's defense and disrupt the opponent's rhythm.
But when facing a strong team, this style of play is facing a strong position, and it is difficult to return to defense, so it is easy to get the opponent's counterattack. When I played against , Tottenham Hotspur in the last round, I easily passed the half by Tottenham because of too few defenders, causing a defensive mistake. Today's opponent Liverpool is definitely not a second-rate team, and their defensive pressure is very strong.
Of course, Liverpool's problems are also quite prominent. The biggest weakness is Arnold's position on the right. It turns out that this position has the help of center back Van Dyke , Matip, midfielder Henderson , Fabinho and others. The problem is not prominent. As they grow older and their competitive state decreases, the problems on the right are exposed. All opponents know that they will work hard on the right side of Liverpool. In the last game, Brighton stared at the position of Arnold , and played a hat-trick against Trosard, who played against him, and finally tied Liverpool 3-3. So does the Gunner have a chance today? The answer is no, and there are two reasons:
1, wing organization core , Zinchenko is absent due to injury, and his position is against Liverpool's right-hand side Arnold. Although it is not a secret that Liverpool's right-hand side is the biggest weakness in the Premier League, Arsenal, who lacks Zinchenko, probably can only stare at him.
In addition, Zinchenko's defensive ability is also very good, and he helped the team regain the ball as many as 6.2 times per game. His absence allowed Arsenal's defense to take a level.
2. The whole world knows Liverpool’s weaknesses on the right. Wouldn’t Klopp not? In the Champions League game, he changed the
33 formation that he had always used and changed to 4231. This way of playing will be more conservative, and the arrangement of double midfielders will provide Arnold with the right side to prevent his opponent from staring at this point, and he will have stronger defensive ability and wider defense.
Although the 4231 position is not as good as 433 in terms of offensive offense, it can play a good role in Nunes , stimulate Nunes's momentum and gradually hit a level that matches his value.
3. Liverpool's corner kick ability is quite good. In addition to Nunez, there are also Matipu and Van Dijk. Arsenal's set-piece defense ability is quite large in this game.
