The FA Cup "Gunners" Arsenal's journey ends here, in the face of the situation that all other strong players are promoted, Arsenal is at a critical moment and drops the chain again, worthy of you! In the face of nottingham Forest from the Championship, although Arsenal suppressed the opponent, but in the last moment, a dangerous "knife mountain ball" in Lokonga made Arsenal's efforts all in vain, and after the game, Arteta also directly apologized to the fans at the press conference, but such a result really chilled the hearts of the fans.
Rival manager Steve Cooper is one of the new generation of coaches in football at the same time as Arteta, and his club experience is still shallow, and he has only managed another Championship team, Swansea, in addition to coaching Nottingham Forest. The same guy who faced our rookie coach Arteta, who said bluntly after the game that it was the victory they deserved, they oppressed the Arsenal team and the counterattack was their biggest weapon!
The Nottingham Forest showed off at home at the start, with Steve Cooper's 3-4-3 squad relying on the control of two full-backs combined with the large number of midfielders. Full-back Spence is the biggest contributor to their winning games in this game, trying 5 times, successfully passing 4 times, intercepting 4 times, these data are very luxurious.
Nottingham Forest was at home shortly after the opening, and in the 4th minute alone they had a beautiful collision with the wall, and then fortunately Arsenal goalkeeper Leno struck in time to defuse the situation. Germany's former international, whose main position has already been occupied by the new Arrivals Inrmsdale this season, can only get some playing time in the cup, and there is news that he will move away at the end of the season, let's bless him.
However, after the first 10 minutes of the three-plate axe, the individual ability of arsenal players was still displayed, after all, from the starting line-up, the sum of the value of Nketiah and Martinelli alone was already higher than the opponent's starting lineup.
And Arsenal in the adjustment is also directly to the rhythm of the game firmly controlled, but a little regret Arsenal's starting left-back Tavares performance is difficult to say, many careless passes are in vain to lose the ball, which is unbearable for Arteta, the 34th minute of the game Tierney came on to replace him, it is really a chance to give you a chance you are not in A! The first half was also such a tedious past.
At the beginning of the second half, Arsenal still did not make any substitution adjustments, but the opponent Nottingham Forest was replaced by two forwards in succession to strengthen the ability to fight back, which is also the performance of the opponent's chess game, under the constant oppression, the Nottingham Forest forwards are to help defend, under such a huge physical exertion, this substitution seems very reasonable.
On the other hand, Arsenal did not have the back-back partner of Xhaka and Thomas, and their shots seemed to have been tested somewhat, and the combination of young players Lokunga and Patineau appeared to be insufficient in attack and defense. In the 83rd minute, a pass error by Lokunga caused the opponent to counterattack, and their defense was directly penetrated by the opponent, and then Graban's goal in front of the goal helped them to beat the Premier League's veteran gunner Arsenal in the last moment and successfully advanced to the next round of the FA Cup.
It can be said that both sides tried their best in this game, and for Nottingham Forest, Spence's bright performance is also obvious to all, after this game he may receive the attention of Premier League teams, for this former Champions League champion, their future is bright. And the Gunners are also no way, in the case of the main disease, go away, although the young generals can sometimes bring surprises, but they are still immature, but the future of this group of players may be the Gunners' "92 class", do not be discouraged the future is yours.
