EPL: Chelsea 3-2 Arsenal
Unai Emery admitted Arsenal were non skilful plenty inwards the 2nd one-half after a defeat at Stamford Bridge. The Spaniard's side fought dorsum from 2-0 downward to larn into one-half fourth dimension drawing 2-2, but Chelsea were stronger inwards the 2nd half, winning the agree through an 81st infinitesimal Marcos Alonso goal.
After the game Emery spoke to BT Sport together with said, "The one-half fourth dimension is skilful for us together with the 2nd one-half is nosotros take away to proceed this control, but I intend the 2nd one-half nosotros don't force together with hold possession similar nosotros did inwards the initiatory of all half, together with inwards our moments, our chances, nosotros didn't exercise together with they did".
Arsenal started the agree looking to destination a vii yr winless piece at Stamford Bridge inwards the league (5-3, Oct 2011). Unai Emery laid upwards the Gunners inwards a 4-2-3-1 formation, alongside Iwobi starting on the left, somewhat surprising many Arsenal fans. Petr Cech remained inwards goal from the 2-0 abode defeat to Manchester City together with Granit Xhaka started over the novel defensive midfield signing Lucas Torreira. Alexandre Lacazette also remained on the bench.
So, yet again, Emery had worried Gooners earlier the agree had fifty-fifty started. Xhaka had received a lot of criticism after Sunday's loss, peculiarly when Torreira had a positive deport on from the bench, together with Cech, despite making several real skilful saves, had most scored an ain goal, showing why he did non conform passing the ball out from the dorsum similar Emery wanted.
Cech's old team, Chelsea, started the agree alongside their star position out 10, Eden Hazard, novel midfield loanee, Mateo Kovacic, together with onetime Gunner, Olivier Giroud, all on the bench.
It was the abode side that started stronger, opening the scoring when Marcos Alonso musical rhythm out Mkhitaryan to an over the top pass, crossed to Pedro arriving inwards the box, who together with thus shot into the bottom correct manus corner to musical rhythm out Cech. One of Bellerin's principal flaws is that he does non seem to move able to remainder staying dorsum to defend together with running upwards the pitch to attack, which makes him over reliant on whoever else is playing downward the correct to defend for him. The dorsum 4 were also playing a trouble every bit high every bit Snoop Dogg on a Sabbatum night. This cost them inwards the 20th infinitesimal too, when Morata latched onto some other ball over the top together with shot through Mustafi's legs to brand it 2-0.
Sokratis looks real slow, which makes him together with Mustafi a terrible partnership to bring when playing a high line. Chelsea were leading 2-0 far besides easily, together with Arsenal had already missed several chances to depict level. Ozil missed a volley prior to the initiatory of all goal together with Aubameyang skied the ball from the border of the six yard box. The pressure level was on. Would this plow into a repeat of the 6-0 thrashing inwards 2014?
No. Finally, after a real skilful piece where Arsenal had dominated possession and, again, missed a sitter through Mkhitaryan, the Armenian shot alongside his weaker left human foot into the bottom left corner from exterior the box together with made it 2-1. Admittedly Chelsea's novel goalie "Kepa" should bring saved it, but a goal's a goal- the Gunners were simply happy to run across the ball destination upwards inwards the net. Mkhitaryan had non looked real skilful upwards to that point, having given the ball away a lot earlier getting beaten past times Alonso for Chelsea's initiatory of all goal, thus he laid himself on the course of pedagogy for redemption alongside the goal. Arsenal together with thus continued this vivid piece to consummate a comeback simply earlier one-half time. Bellerin together with Mkhitaryan combined downward the correct earlier Henrikh drilled inwards a cross to Iwobi who smashed it abode for Arsenal's second. The Nigerian had done good throughout the initiatory of all half, together with continued to exercise thus inwards the second, proving why Emery chose him to start. He looked amend physically, to a greater extent than mature on the ball past times knowing when to take away hold it upwards together with when to run at the defenders, together with scored a deserved goal. He also could bring grabbed some other inwards stoppage fourth dimension earlier the break, but hitting it over inwards similar fashion to Aubameyang.
So Arsenal went into the interruption looking the stronger of the 2 teams, alongside momentum on their side. Emery continued to revolutionise the exchange organization at Arsenal past times making a alter earlier coming out for the 2nd half. Lucas Torreira was brought on for Xhaka, who hadn't actually impacted the game apart from a reckless challenge which led to a yellowish card. Torreira straightaway made an impact. The dorsum 4 looked to a greater extent than stable alongside a character DM inwards front end of them making skilful passes together with tackles. However, Arsenal did non proceed their authorisation for long. After the initiatory of all 10 minutes of the 2nd one-half their attacking flair seemed to fizzle out, together with they looked to a greater extent than content alongside playing for a unmarried point. In the 60th infinitesimal Chelsea brought on Kovacic together with Hazard. The Belgian gave Bellerin a lot to bargain alongside downward the correct together with it looked similar he simply couldn't handgrip it. Hazard has such confidence on the ball together with his teammates e'er seem to move looking for where he is thus they move past times to him. And it was the position out 10 that laid upwards Alonso for the winner inwards the 81st minute. The goal came every bit such a boot inwards the teeth. Suddenly Arsenal weren't taking anything from the game. Emery would bring been inwards accuse for 2 games together with lost twice, together with Arsenal were paying the cost for misfiring inwards the initiatory of all half.
And pay the cost they did. Cue the regular meltdown on Arsenal Twitter. On 1 side there's positivity, alongside many Gooners pointing to the promising displays past times Guendouzi (again) together with Iwobi, Cech's skilful saves (although he notwithstanding looked unconfident on the ball), together with the dandy passing motility which led to Arsenal's 2nd goal- showing that Emery's agency of play is showtime to move understood past times the team. On the other side nosotros bring the moaners. "We're SIX points off the top together with inwards 17th place". Honestly some of our fanbase are thus fickle. They bring begun to criticise Aubameyang already, somehow forgetting how skilful he has been for us since he arrived at the destination of January. Emery has been told that Ozil, Xhaka, Mustafi together with Bellerin should all move "binned". It enfuriates me. They embarrass the ease of us fans, peculiarly when they larn on Arsenal Fan TV. However, I bring been pleased that most reactions bring been quite positive, agreeing that nosotros should all give Emery time, together with that 2 real hard games after solely a yoke of months inwards accuse is non plenty to justice him on. So let's exercise that, certain the defending was real miserable on Saturday, but I'm confident this volition improve the to a greater extent than they are coached together with nosotros created many chances that I'm certain the assail volition complete 1 time they honour their form. Next calendar week nosotros play West Ham dorsum at the Emirates. Let's all exhibit our back upwards 1 time to a greater extent than together with assist the squad earn their initiatory of all win of the season! COME ON YOU GUNNERS!
Note:
This is my 50th postal service for together with it's been approximately 2 years since I started it. I know, I know, exercise the maths together with you'll operate out I haven't been real consistent, but I experience my writing has improved a lot since 2016 together with I've had a lot of fun making posts! My personal highlight has to move apace typing upwards an article inwards the machine when Emery was announced. I desire to give thank you lot everyone that has read the weblog together with supported me along the way, going from 10 views to 1500 has actually motivated me! Here's to to a greater extent than progress inwards the side past times side few years!
Next fixture: West Ham (h) Sat 25/8 K.O- 3pm
