Arsenal crumbled down like a wrong deck of poker playing cards against Manchester City at Wembley in the Carabao Cup final this Sunday.
Where It Went Wrong
1. Game PlanArsenal demonstrated that they are far away from being clinical and fearsome in big defining moments.They were in sixes and sevens, failing to hold on to the ball, attack, or even defend — whether zonal or man marking.
2. Big Game Temperament
Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice were shadows of themselves. Those are the players you need in matches of this magnitude as a team with ambition to win titles.
3. Technical Inferiority
Pep Guardiola was spot on. Arsenal play well when they are dictating the pace, attack, and possession — that’s where you see Rice and Saka flourish.But when that control is gone, you see players like Leandro Trossard and co toiling across the field like headless chickens in heated circumstances.
Conclusion
Arsenal can win the league, fair due to the inconsistent challenge by the following pack. It’s the Premier League that they can win — not the FA Cup, let alone the UEFA Champions League — with that showing of nonsense, mediocrity, laziness, shame, and cluelessness.
Seskooooooooooo.
