Why Arsenal Face Bigger Questions Than Liverpool After ‘unacceptable’ Chelsea Loss
In their loss to Chelsea, Liverpool was “just not good enough,” and not a single player “came out with any credit.” But more people ought to criticise Arsenal.
This weekend was amazing! Following an unexpected home loss to a promoted team, Amorim supporters believe that United’s victory is a victory for the system (when we lose, it’s the players’ fault).
Due to a late goal, Liverpool loses. To seal a victory, Arsenal is awarded a penalty despite the foul being outside the area. (It’s imperative that you people stop complaining about referees.)

With another goal, the massive German player who replaced Isak on the Toon emerges. In order to save one record at the expense of another, Everton displays a great deal of heart against Glasner’s giant Palace.
Munoz should be added to the list of people to bring if Glasner visits United. However, certain things are constant.
Good old VAR, either ignoring situations that don’t require careful consideration or failing to spot a clear punching gesture or fouling location. traditional. Put the phrase “this is what makes the PL so special” here.
The Equipment Chelsea Use
With a goal in the final minute from the Brazilian wonderkind, we defeated the champions 2-1.
It was made even more delightful by the fact that we used a back four of full backs since we had injured every centre back but Chalobah, who was suspended.
Palmer, our finest player, and Delap, our striker, are also absent. João Pedro performs passably, but in order to perform at his peak, he requires a real striker in front of him.
The thing that shocked me the most about the victory was how aggressive we were in the final fifteen minutes after the substitutions.
I thought we would hunker down and defend the draw, but Maresca had other ideas. This was a much-needed change after seeing his substitutes against Brighton and United, and I hope it continues.
He merits praise. It undoubtedly helped that Liverpool was playing a back four with two midfielders at the time.
This team’s lack of leaders is a common complaint, but yesterday was different. As the team’s captain, Reece James is truly taking off, and he’s doing it without yelling or pointing. Caicedo and Enzo are also setting an example.
Due to injuries to Lavia, Andrey Santos, Essugo, and Palmer, these two players have had to play every game, but it hasn’t stopped them. One of the things that makes me the happiest is witnessing the rise of cucurella and caicedo.
Their prices are no longer mentioned. Now that Caicedo has added goals to his game, I’m still waiting for the rest of the league to start praising him as one of the league’s top midfielders.
Last but certainly not least, Estêvão. That child is the real deal. One of the simplest methods to determine whether a “unknown” player is good is to observe how frequently his teammates pass the ball to him, according to something I once read.
Palmer continued to pass the ball to Estêvão nearly every time he had the chance during the Leverkusen preseason match. He seldom gives the ball to Madueke or Neto that frequently, so I was taken aback.
There is no reason why I shouldn’t trust him if Palmer can do so so readily. I hope we take good care of him so he may reach his full potential as a player.
I’m trying not to get ahead of myself because this is only one victory. People’s perceptions of this team have been negatively impacted by their club’s World Cup victory.
It was always more fiction than reality to expect us to compete for the crown. Since we are, in my opinion, the fourth-best club in the league, a top-4 finish and a reduction in the distance to the teams above us are reasonable goals.
Given the way the club is now operated, I don’t think a legitimate title challenge will occur for at least two years.
Criticism Mounts After Liverpool’s ‘Unacceptable’ Defeat
Both losing to a ridiculous pen from an egotistical referee and losing to Palace (a great team playing at full strength) is none of my concern. Let’s do it correctly, though.
During the 90+, Chelsea made their way through their fourth to seventh choice CBs, thus losing against them without Cole Palmer was just not acceptable.
No player who participated, starting or benching came away with any recognition, in my opinion. Although some were worse than others, everyone is subject to criticism. It was just a terrible, random, confused performance.
There is no better time for the international break than now. More than anything, I believe that two weeks away from it is necessary for everyone involved to clear their minds.
There isn’t a better first match to return to, which is fantastic news. Perhaps for the first time in a long time, Liverpool enters that match knowing they absolutely HAVE to put on a strong showing.
Because of that, they are dangerous, and to be honest, I wouldn’t want Manchester United to visit there on Sunday.
Considering the bigger picture, despite all the issues, the team is still ranked second in the league. It’s absurd to talk about a crisis.
Maybe more attention should be paid to why Arsenal, the league’s largest net spenders this summer (spending £260 million but only recovering £10 million in sales), who most likely have the most evenly distributed roster and selection experience, haven’t already eliminated this Liverpool team.
Looking at how the odds seemed to be in their favour, I think it is less than ideal that they are only one point ahead after losing at Anfield.
Even if neither team is in form, Liverpool and City are both breathing down their necks. The race for the title is still going strong.
Since this incident had nothing to do with Liverpool or Arsenal, I didn’t expect a lot of media attention, but it was terrible when Zian Flemming purposefully elbowed Emi Buendia in the face during the Villa-Burnley game, knocking him out.
At the time, I thought it was one of those palm-offs that taller players do to cause havoc, but after watching a replay at home, I’m shocked the referee didn’t even call a foul. What did he believe transpired? VAR is obviously not present. Again, what is the point of it?
I used to like the opinions of Arsenal supporters. Reading opposing ideas and points of view helps you develop your critical thinking skills and widen your perspective.
It introduces you to different ways of thinking, which can help you see the weaknesses in your own views or make them stronger via analysis.
By interacting with a range of viewpoints, you can avoid echo chambers and improve your ability to express your position during discussions.
It also fosters humility since, even if you don’t agree with them entirely, you might learn subtleties or important things you hadn’t thought of. In the end, it fosters a more resilient and open-minded perspective.
