Premier League focus battle, Chelsea lost 2-4 to Arsenal, after losing this game, Chelsea is still third in the league, Arsenal is still fifth in the league, but Arsenal and Tottenham hot spots are the same, because Manchester United lost this round of matches, Arsenal should play Manchester United next game, so it looks like this is an opportunity for Tottenham and Arsenal to open up the gap between points and Manchester United? But Chelsea's loss in this game, rather than being at a good level, is it that the team's defenders have met Arsenal this season and it seems that they will not play?
The Chelsea defender line did play badly, and the game was a bit of a look for Real Madrid's first Champions League game, with all sorts of missteps
Azpilicueta was in poor form in this game, and Christensen directly passed the goalkeeper's ball back to let the opponent complete the steal score. Sal has maguire in this game, although the ball is in front of him, he just doesn't know how to defend. James is also in bad shape this time, and Mendy's low rating is related to the number of goals conceded. It was really a game of all kinds of mistakes in the team's backline, and I don't know why this game is like this. Of course Christensen should or not have renewed his contract, which may have something to do with this? Looking at it now, Chelsea's backline has only been in good form at this time. It seems that playing Arsenal this season is prone to such problems?
Kante is the same, the game is lost, kante's recent form is indeed average, of course, Kante is still the team's best defensive player in midfield, but Chelsea need to find a substitute for this position. Alonso was the best player in the backline of this game, which was also a bit of a surprise.
Most of the attacking players at Chelsea are not bad, Werner is actually getting better and better, this game has scored, but one problem can also be seen, Lukaku has not seen any good play since the Chelsea team has some problems, this is the key, this game is still lost, feel that the team may sell him in the offseason?
So after the Chelsea backline had problems, Silva came out and solved some problems, which was really frustrating. It may also be that there have been too many recent games, the team rotation is not enough, the state of the players is really too bad, but Chelsea lost, still third, still have a point advantage, this is the Premier League this season interesting, Arsenal the key to this win, is because the team has not won for a long time.
The key to Arsenal's win is that the team has really been in poor shape lately, can't score, can't win, and it's time to win. Nketiah's goal in this game was several times to take advantage of mistakes in the Chelsea backline. Of course, he did well in this game, and also allowed Arsenal's forward line to score. Erdegaard is in good shape this game, the pass is good, and Ro and Saka also did what they should do in this game. In fact, from the perspective of the game, Arsenal's forward players in this game are very active, that is, they want to complete the goal, and finally the forward players score.
There are some new ideas in the defensive line, Ben White looks at the situation of the game, as if in the full-back position, this change is a bit interesting, midfielder Elneny at least this game has performed well. So in several games when the team can not score, this Arsenal scored four goals, in the team's defense of these few very poor situations, this time there is no problem, it is time to win, but against Manchester United, Arsenal is not necessarily a performance, after all, this luck is too good, may face a lot of problems to solve in the next game.
After the loss of this game, Tuccell should still be very angry, the same defensive performance, the last four games have appeared in two games, Arteta pressure has decreased a lot, before playing Manchester United the team has a three-point advantage, and one less game, playing Manchester United pressure will be a lot less, overall, this game is too interesting.
