772 The Powerless Gunner

Wenger was right when facing Liverpool several times last season, but Klopp was right today to face Liverpool's toughness.

The former is to achieve good results against Liverpool in a single match, which is very realistic.

The latter is a gesture that has to be taken to create a brand new Arsenal, for the future!

This hard-working game allowed Klopp to see the gap between Arsenal and Liverpool in the first 30 minutes.

Liverpool is almost perfect, able to cope with various situations and complex situations. Players in various positions are definitely the world's top, but they all have the top five levels to base. In addition to Mbappe, there are too many top players in the striker, but the top 20 is absolutely fine. Not only will it not drag down the team, but it will also actively help and make contributions.

In contrast, there are too many things that Arsenal needs to improve.

From personnel configuration to technical and tactical running-in, to the experience and ability to respond and adjust in the face of ever-changing competitions.

Of course, Klopp did not take over a team with a leashed dog championship, which required him to do a lot of work and time to see the results!

The difference between Arsenal's shining is that even when facing Liverpool, they can still play dazzling and delicate cooperation in the offense. With Ozil in the frontcourt, he creates space for players like Milner, Ramsey, and Bellerin to attack the Liverpool defense line, Arsenal's technical foundation laid by Wenger can be considered a place to be used.

But today, Arsenal's final kick was a bit terrible.

After all, there is still a lack of a strong scoring point.

When Sanchez shot from the front of the penalty area and was saved by Ter Stegen, Klopp had already backed off and he had to make adjustments during the break to make Arsenal pragmatic.

Because Arsenal's edge cannot hurt Liverpool, this is the problem, a big problem!

Firmino wanted to show his own threat, but he was like a crack in the blockade of Van Dijk and Benatia, and he could only settle for the second best to create opportunities for his teammates.

So who can play Arsenal's stable scoring point?

It seems that only Sanchez, but under the restrictions of Azpilicueta, Sanchez's room for performance is also very limited. If Arsenal can have two threat points, then the comprehensive threat will be greater after they can be linked together!

Liverpool is hard to defend.

But now it is difficult for them to have such a player appear. Ramsey created some threats after the opening, and his performance became dull after Casemiro increased his attention to him.

In the 35th minute of the game, a scene that Klopp didn't want to see happened.

Azpilicueta suddenly made an oblique pass just after crossing the center line.

Coutinho pulled the ball to Lewandowski's feet when receiving it.

Lewandowski, who was responding with his back, pretended to get the ball but used Cruyff to turn and spike the ball to complete the breakthrough. Koscheerny turned around and returned to the defense and directly threw Lewandowski to the ground from behind!

Fortunately, Gabriel was behind, otherwise Situ Yunbing would be very interested in seeing if the referee would give the red card!

Koscheerney's body was also dyed yellow!

Arsenal's entire back line, except for Monreal, all other players have yellow cards!

Coutinho came to take the free kick, and Liverpool's forwards went to the penalty area, and Arsenal set up a wall of men.

Coutinho drove the ball out and hit it with a cross, and the ball rolled to the right in front of the penalty area, but it was about 30 yards away from the goal. Casemiro rushed up and shot!

Arsenal's midfielder pushed forward and blocked the ball, but Casemiro passed the ball diagonally in front of the penalty area and went to the left side when touching the ball!

Because Gareth Bale always stayed in the penalty area and restrained his defensive forces, when Robertson cut inside, no Arsenal players were able to mark him!

Robertson stopped the ball and adjusted his shot after adjusting his goal 25 yards away!

The football drew a small parabola and fell straight to the far corner of the goal!

Cech flew to the extreme but failed to touch the football!

When the football slammed straight into the dead corner of the goal, the Reds fans in the stands of the visiting team fans were ecstatic!

Robertson rushed to celebrate with a laugh, and he was surprised himself!

"Roberson scored a long shot! This is a world shot!

Liverpool once again broke through Arsenal's goal through set piece tactics!

Arsenal's situation is getting harder and harder!

Klopp's Gunners let us see passion and intensity, but seem to lack some rationality!

At least last season, Arsenal was able to lead the way repeatedly, but it is very difficult for Arsenal to break through Liverpool's goal!

Arsenal fell behind two goals at home!"

Situ Yunbing smiled on the sidelines and was very happy that Robertson's goal was from the bottom of his heart.

The Scottish full-back has grown steadily, and it can be said that Liverpool's left-back will not have any major problems in the next ten years!

Klopp shook his head slightly and walked up to gesture to the players to make the team tougher!

Arsenal immediately accelerated the pace after re-telephoned the offensive, but the problem was still the same.

When Monreal made a cross from the side 45 degrees, Benatia headed the ball out, Milner headed the ball to the side in the frontcourt. Ozil tried to create a chance for Sanchez, who cut in quickly, but Sanchez had almost no shooting angle when touching the ball in front of the baseline. Under Van Dijk's blockade, he forced his cross to hit the side net.

As the first half entered the end, Liverpool's side contracted its defense and began to control the rhythm.

Before the end of the first half, Gareth Bale cut in the left side and received a cross from Mbappe. The shot after stopping and adjusting the ball was saved by Cech!

Missed an opportunity!

After returning to the locker room after halftime, Situ Yunbing made some adjustments to the team's playing style in the second half. He needed Liverpool to play more targeted in the second half!

Anyway, Arsenal's defense is now a jealous weapon, and too many yellow cards lead to many concerns when defending, and Liverpool should make more efforts in this regard.

However, after returning to the court in the second half, Situ Yunbing found that Arsenal was playing slightly conservatively.

433 becomes 442.

Milner and Wijnaldum strengthened the deep defense of the retreat defense, Ramsey's central defender and Ozil were more free to move, while Sanchez and Firmino also improved their freedom and often took turns to meet on the wing.

Perhaps it was because the players had some problems running in, so Arsenal's offense was a bit messy!

Liverpool will still be subjected to fierce pressing and tactical fouls from Arsenal when attacking the organization.

But overall, Arsenal's offense and defense are already a little confused!

Klopp had to adjust the midfield, but after the adjustment, he paid for the yellowed hidden dangers in the back line, which also caused offensive chaos!

Perhaps it is because playing against Liverpool in the third round of the new season is indeed too tight for Arsenal to get along. Even if Klopp has ambitions and an ideal blueprint, it is impossible to achieve it overnight.

When Wijnaldum and Milner successively fought against Coutinho and Casemiro for fouls, Arsenal's defense line was already exhausted in tactical foul use!

In the 60th minute of the game, Situ Yunbing began to make substitutions.

Sane appeared to replace Gareth Bale, while Casemiro was replaced by Eriksen.

Liverpool further strengthens its offensive!

Under the turn of offensives that focus on strong attacks on the left, Bellerin had yellow cards on his body and his teammates who came to support him also had yellow cards on him, which led to the triangular offensive system composed of Robertson, Sane and Coutinho in Liverpool.

But Situ Yunbing felt a little dissatisfied with his always in power and inability to score points.

Lewandowski and Mbappe missed great opportunities one after another!

Arsenal's counterattack was only the 68th minute of the game, Sanchez responded to Firmino's wonderful pass to form a single shot, but after Ter Stegen attacked, Sanchez knocked the ball away bizarrely!

Arsenal fans in the stands at Emirates Stadium were extremely melancholy!

In fact, this has nothing to do with Klopp. Since Henry, Arsenal has rarely seen powerful shooters!

Comparison is made by the top Premier League scorers in the past few years.

The top scorer of 10 years is Fabregas, ranked 8th in the Premier League, scoring 15 goals.

It was very good in 11 years, with Van Persie scoring 18 goals and ranking third in the Premier League.

12 years was Van Persie's last year at Arsenal. He won the league Golden Boot, scoring 30 goals, but then transferred to Manchester United.

13 years have been miserable. There are no Arsenal players among the top ten Premier League scorers, and Walcott ranked 11th in the Premier League with 14 goals.

Giroud scored 16 goals in 2014, ranking 10th in the Premier League!

In 2015, Sanchez was the top scorer in the Premier League, scoring 16 goals, ranking 7th in the Premier League.

Not to mention that Liverpool has been monopolizing the Premier League’s top scorer in the past three years. Suarez in the past two years and Lewandowski last season, and two players entered the third league last season. Lewandowski ranked first, Gareth Bale ranked second, and in 2014, Suarez and Gareth Bale were shortlisted for the third league at the same time!

Just analyze Arsenal's forward situation in the past few years, you can clearly see that except for Van Persie who has been withered for many years, Arsenal has no reliable striker anymore. Giroud and Sanchez's goal data are actually not comparable to the scoring rates of other major strikers in the Premier League!

This only shows one problem. Arsenal's forward line is not good and there is no strong and stable scoring point!

Compared with European giants, whether it is the La Liga doubles or Bayern Munich, this situation just shows where other giants are weak!

If Klopp wants to make a difference in the Premier League, he just has the idea and concept of skill and tactical playing. At least he has to solve the problem of forward goals. He cannot always create opportunities but cannot grasp them!
