Arsenal (A) | Post Match Thread

What do you expect though. All neutrals will say the same - it's not because it's City, they're doing that British thing and looking for the underdog to do well. We could be on for 5 titles in 6 years we're the big bad wolf and it's poor little Arsenal.

It's actually a wonderful thing that we're that much of a dominant force that we're making Arsenal look like a plucky underdog......
Arsenal are only a plucky underdog when it suits though. 373 days of the year they're a magnificent history club, built on tradition and funded by their own successes, doing everything the right way.
 
Things started to change for them after the end of the first ‘quarter’ sponsored by Lego-head industries, up till then we where on top and Peps tactics seemed to be working, Ramsdale took his boot off, Arteta had a reshuffle & they started to click, we scored slightly against the run of play, and then we sat back for the remainder of the half, getting to HT level was imperative & they had 10 mins from the goal to have a go, this was a really important phase of the game & our lads stood firm.
Second half so us shut down their overload on our left while they did nothing to protect theirs, and we ran out comfortable winners in the end….it’s almost like Pep encouraged Arteta to match him up first half then side stepped him in the second, I laughed when he said his first half tactics where horrible, he knew he’d set the trap & it worked, the rest of football are thinking wow, Peps human, nah he’s on another planet
You're overthinking it mate. Pep said our first half tactics were horrible, because they were. It's no coincidence that we were at our best and the game was won when we went with a standard 4-3-3 after an hour.
