The London derby in the early hours of the morning ended with Tottenham's home win over Arsenal. As an Arsenal fan for more than 20 years, this is not surprising, the recent league performances, coupled with the past record against Mourinho, to win the game can only be a bold surprise.
From the late days of Wenger's tenure, Arsenal's dominance has been declining. Fans always thought that Wenger's tactical system was outdated, and after a few years of class, they finally drove Arsenal's exploits out of the Emirates Stadium. That's right, when Arsenal went from title to fourth to top four in those years, I was one of them, and I think Arsenal reached a point where they didn't break. In the case of Manchester United, there are also many people who persuade Arsenal not to change the sky easily, otherwise the chaos of Manchester United is the end of Arsenal.
Not many people would have predicted the current situation, but the current situation is that all the worst possibilities are fulfilled.
Wenger ended up giving The Dog a big contract, sending Alexis Sanchez to Manchester United and dragging Ramsey's contract into the final year. According to Wenger's personality, the contract of the Er dog would not be signed in the past, and how many stars did they not ask to leave because of their salaries? It is not known how much wenger played a role in this contract. A few days ago, fans always ridiculed Wenger's will to determine Manchester United, yes, Sanchez has a super high salary at Manchester United but has super bad statistics, but what does Mkhitaryan Arsenal take advantage of? Ramsey's contract was delayed until the last year, except for the high salary, which could not be retained, and the club took it back after giving the contract extension, the same operation as a fan. This is Wenger has left office. But dragging on to the final year of the contract has been a chronic disease for many years, if not the last year of the contract will become the Fan ambition in the mouth of fans?
Amelie's early Arsenal inverted triangle team once won consecutively, although the tactics were single. But the end of the season suddenly collapsed, the fans could not understand, even Amelie herself could not figure out the reason. At the beginning of the second season, he began to pull his crotch, and finally Amelie lost control of the team and left the company. The next Ljungberg did not bring much improvement to the team, and soon Arteta was in charge. Once Arteta gave us hope, even winning the FA Cup to get a ticket to the Europa League.
Arsenal seem to have improved this season, but it has gradually sunk as the season progresses. William, who made the fans ecstatic, became a frustrating burden in less than half a year. Aubameyang's contract extension went from good to negative, and Oba lost motivation after the renewal, which is often mentioned. Saliba even became a joke, not even a team registration, but the cost is not 2 million, but more than 20 million! Thomas also thought it was the last piece of the arsenal tactical system, and it turned out to be injured again and again.
At the management level, Jia Bald was pointed out as a scapegoat, and even after leaving Milan, he was jokingly called Milan to be finished by fans. Sanrey is the next culprit, and although there is no evidence, several bad transfer operations are considered to be strongly related to it. Edu also seems to have consumed the aura brought by last year's discerning Martin.
All indications are that Arsenal are not on the road to recovery, on the contrary, entering a period of chaos. Like Manchester United. Pogba did not save Manchester United, and even fell into it himself, not to mention Thomas?
Arsenal are no longer giants, don't believe it? Last year's Europa League qualification was earned through the FA Cup, and the feeling of powerlessness at the end of the season is definitely not like that of a big team. The recent performance is also like a thorough mid-range team, or that kind of hard enough. As a giant, fans not only pay attention to the results, but also pay attention to whether they play well or not, such as Real Madrid, sometimes even the top of the list will be blamed by fans for playing ugly. At the current Arsenal, I believe that few people pay attention to whether it looks good or not.
Arsenal are no longer giants and we fans have to accept it. Arsenal no longer need luxuries like Aubameyang and believe he still has the ability to make a deal out of other teams. There are a few others who are not suitable for Arsenal, which may not be related to the giants, Seballos, Xhaka, Mustafi, Krajsinac. As a non-giant team, Oba and Seba are too luxurious, and Xhaka has obvious shortcomings, and Arsenal have no spare strength to make up for him. Instabilities such as Mustafi and Krajsinac will leave the game without a clear direction.
Arsenal already have enough stars of hope on the offensive line, Saka, Martinelli, Niles, Nels, Nelson, Veroch, and even Smith Rowe, etc., are enough. What is needed is the cornerstone, the treasure of the town team, not the little cherries on the cake. For example, God Ibrahimovic. A lot of people have been stressing that arsenal lack creativity in the midfield, yes, it's lacking. But it's not much better if you let the peak dog play. Again, Arsenal is no longer a giant, don't look at it according to the eyes of the giants, a non-giant team, the first thing is to win. And winning, not necessarily gorgeous, tough, efficient can also be.
I don't know if Arteta has a clear understanding of the team's situation, and it seems that he is not very sober from the post-match press conference of today's game. Arteta said that we did a good job, controlled the game very well but could not win, which is still a big thinking. A team that has lost four consecutive league games must first win, and even Wenger must win, even if he plays ugly.
Take sabarios and Xhaka and bring in a wide-ranging midfielder, a steal-hardened midfielder, and a rhythm-controlling midfielder. Then Arsenal have the possibility of recovery, otherwise this year will be another disappointing season, probably worse than last season!
