The problem for me is that there seem to be two Arsenals.
There’s the Premier League Arsenal — nervous, jittery, unsure whether to press or sit off. That version looks nothing like the team we see in every other competition. In Europe and the cups, the performances are sharp, confident, aggressive… they look like favourites. So watching the last three league games has been painful, because I genuinely don’t understand why we can’t replicate that intensity domestically.
Premier League teams have clearly figured out that Arsenal don’t press in certain zones, and they’re exploiting it. Liverpool had all the ball but didn’t get a shot on target — which basically means they were passing it around their own half while we sat back and waited. Compare that to the Chelsea game in the Leauge cup, where their back four were being pressed relentlessly in the first half and looked rattled. It’s like watching a Gareth Southgate side: waiting for a moment instead of forcing one.
Arteta has to sort this out because I’m getting nervous. I've seen this before. If we don’t beat Leeds, then it’s game on again after being in such a strong position.
