Away to West Ham, even if Moyes has a partial break, arsenal will not be easy to win. Given the many injuries in the squad and Spurs' victory over Leicester City in the first round, it is not an exaggeration to call the Gunners a "tough moment".
The more critical the moment, the more critical the play of the team's thigh. Similarly, those "little people" who have appeared relatively rarely under the spotlight before are also "graded" when they are in danger.
For example, Elneney and Holden, and Tavares.
[Holden and Ernenni, on top]
Without the main force injury, Holden and Ernenni are stable water dispenser managers. In their way were Mr. Ben White and Thomas the 50 million.
After Thomas was injured, Ernenni was ordered to form a back-back partnership with Xhaka. This time against West Ham, Ben White was injured before the game, and Holden got another chance to play.
Holdern played very well: a record-opening header and 8 successful confrontations (6 high-altitude confrontations and 2 ground confrontations). In addition, he has 7 clearances, 1 interception, 2 shovels and 3 block shots. Every effective defense is full of value.
A game-high 8.2 (sofascore), no problem.
Herneny, despite his mediocre stats, brings a lot of tactical value: running coverage.
Xhaka's strengths and weaknesses are very obvious, and the frontcourt attacker needs a strong running output behind him to maximize the threat to the opponent. Elnini's biggest advantage is his hard work and running.
The 50% confrontation success rate is not eye-catching, but the 91% passing success rate brings the midfield ball carding. Even if he is limited by style and strength, he is not so good at delivering the ball into the box, but he can do his job effectively and is qualified.
Besides, his running is really too much and too critical. As a result, many fans in the network, once again took out his "comparable to the Dutch ancient superstar" P map. Although the hard power is far from the same, it is the value of being able to help the team in a specific number of games.
Even, you can exchange qualified for excellent. For example, in the 71st minute, his foot was passed.
[Tavares, pulling the crotch again]
Tavares is a player with very obvious advantages and disadvantages. He's in good shape, as well as explosiveness and speed, but frizz and rough technique, as well as defensive choices, often allow him to expand his shortcomings.
As a full-back, he completed 75 touches in this game. Considering that in Arsenal's attacking system, full-backs need to take on the left side of the fan, this figure is normal.
What is abnormal? The 79% pass success rate is not good, and worse, he has lost too much ball---- a full 20 times. Moreover, both the middle (4) and long passes (4) failed.
In the crucial game against Manchester United, he opened the record for the Gunners, and the goal is worthy of recognition. But at the same time, what should be seen is that after he was "completely released", the wave shots on the offensive end and the outrageous crosses.
Of course, from the perspective of public opinion after the game, the goal did not overpower the "wind evaluation", and the worries and harshness about Tavarez are still there.
After Tierney was injured, Arteta had a "hesitation" at left-back. For example, against Breton, break the midfielder's appearances and organize the sequence, allowing Xhaka to come to left-back.
To put it bluntly, still distrust. The root cause is that Tavares, as a rotating full-back, is not "grade" enough.
【Conclusion】
After winning West Ham away, Arsenal are once again in fourth place in the league and still have the advantage in the fight for Champions League qualification.
Given the increase in injuries, Arteta needs to better select and arrange the squad. In the choice of rotating players, it is even more critical. The play of the core players of Saka and Ode High is the foundation and key to the team's championship competition. The grade of the substitute players such as Holden, Ernenni and Tavares will determine the "weakest link" of the team.
The classification of the rotation of players should be given more attention.
