Even if its not about winning the title, those who pick Arsenal into their best slip remain frustrated after losing simple games. Lets see the recent errors Arsenal has made recently.
1. Arsenal Versus Manchester United
While playing against Manchester United recently, Arsenal; [layers displayed a general lack of coordination. There seemed to miss calculated communication between Takehiro Tomiyasu and goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale from a ner kick. The two players aimed to clear the corner kick yielding a tame effort.
This simple blunder lend Lisandro Martinez a chance to punish Arsenal and surely he did. Lisandro sent the ball to the net and just like that it was a goal.
2. Arsenal Against Manchester City
In a match against City, Jack Grealish unleashed a tackle pressure to Tomiyasu who then resorted to releasing the ball to Ramsdale but it was a weak pass. Kevin De Bruyne quickly took advantage to intercept this pass since it came with little power and scores for Man City.
A second goal sets in when Gabriel attempts to move the ball to Xhaka but his effort remains futile when Bernardo Silva opens up Arsenal defence. The ball reaches out to Grealish who fires a kick to the net.
3. Playing Against Bournemouth
From kick-off, Dango Ouattara occupies the ball from a long cross, settles the ball and delivers a low cross into the box. Both William Saliba and Gabriel miss the ball while Philip Billing stationed behind them gets the ball and seizes the opportunity.
A second goal also emerged from Thomas Partey’s failure to mark the opponent Marcos Senesi giving him a chance to score.
4. Against Southampton
While working hard to locate Oleksandr Zinchenko, Aaron Ramsdale puts out a pass which is intercepted by Carlos Alvarez just outside the penalty box. Alvarez seizes the opportunity and gives Southampton a clean goal.
A second goal also emerges from a corner kick when Duje Caleta-Car takes advantage of Zinchenko’s unawareness of his presence and runs behind him and with a header hits the net.
5. Against West Ham United
A rash move by Gabriel to tackle Lucas Paqueta sent him to the ground and won West Ham United a penalty kick.
6. Recent Match Against Newcastle United
This season, Arsenal lost their unbeaten record to Newcastle United in a 1-0 defeat. Arsenal had maintained its unbeaten record through games played against Chelsea, Tottenham, and Manchester City.
The team then faced Newcastle with lots of confidence in a closely contested game in all angles. However, in the 64th minute David Raya missed the ball in his attempt to pick out a cross, Anthony Gordon took advantage and hit the net.
Why Arsenal is Making so Many Mistakes
Some of these mistakes made by the team are due to lack of experience on one side. One could argue that the players haven’t fully settled in mentally and are bound to make more blunders due to pressure and poor tackling.
On the other hand, some managerial decisions have also cost the club loses. For instance, Arteta sets the team to play out of the back overlooking the risks involved and yet some opponents would go for long balls.
Arsenal does gain from taking most of these risks if the plan is executed correctly. Though the plan sometimes backfires, when it works out the Gunners get a wholesome reward.
