Wenger was right to be pragmatic when he faced Liverpool several times last season, but klopper was also right to be tough against Liverpool today.
The former is to achieve good results against Liverpool in a single game, which is very realistic.
The latter is the attitude that has to be taken in order to shape a new arsenal, for the future!
In the first 30 minutes, klopp saw the gap between Arsenal and Liverpool.
Liverpool is almost perfect and can cope with all kinds of situations and complex situations. Players in all positions dare not say that they are definitely the top in the world, but they all have the bottom of the top five levels. Except for mbape, there are too many top players in the ranks of strikers, but the top 20 is absolutely no problem, which will not drag down the team, At the same time, it will also play a positive role in helping and making contributions.
In contrast, Arsenal have too much to improve.
From staffing to technical and tactical running in, to coping and adjustment experience and ability in the face of rapidly changing games.
Klopp certainly didn't take over a team tied with a dog crown, which requires him to do a lot of work and time to see the results!
What makes Arsenal shine is that they can play a dazzling and delicate cooperation in attack even in the face of Liverpool. With Ozil's series organization in the front court, it creates space for players such as Milner, Ramsey and berelin to attack the Liverpool defense. The technical foundation laid by Arsene Wenger is also useful.
But today Arsenal are a bit miserable in quality.
After all, there is still a lack of a strong scoring point.
When Sanchez shot at the front of the restricted area and was saved by telstegen, klopp had a retreat in his heart. He had to adjust at halftime to make Arsenal more pragmatic.
Because Arsenal's edge can't hurt Liverpool, that's the problem, a big problem!
Filmino wants to show his threat, but he really lives in a crack under the blockade of Van Dijk and benatia, and he can only step back and create opportunities for his teammates.
So who can play Arsenal's stable scoring point?
It seems that there is only Sanchez, but under the restriction of azpiliqueta, Sanchez's playing space is also very limited. If Arsenal can have two threat points, the comprehensive threat will be greater if they can link up!
Let Liverpool be defenseless.
But now it is difficult for them to have such a player. Ramsey made some threats after the opening, and his performance tends to be flat after Casimiro raised his attention.
However, after returning to the stadium in the second half and fighting again at Yi Bian, situ Yunbing found that Arsenal played a little conservative.
433 became 442
Milner and vernaldum strengthened the in-depth defense of retreat defense. Ramsey's central guard and Ozil moved more freely, while Sanchez and filmino also improved their freedom and often took turns on the sidelines.
Maybe the players have a problem running in, so Arsenal's attack is a little messy!
On Liverpool's side, Arsenal's fierce closing down and tactical fouls will still be encountered when attacking the organization.
But on the whole, Arsenal's attack and defense have been a little confused!
Klopper had to adjust the midfield, but after the adjustment, he paid for the hidden dangers of yellow in the defence, which also led to the chaos of attack!
Maybe playing Liverpool at the beginning of the third round of the new season is really too tight for Arsenal. Even if clop has ambitions and ideal blueprint, it can not be achieved overnight.
When vinaldum and Milner played cards for fouls against Coutinho and Camero, Arsenal's defense can be said to have run out of ammunition in the use of tactical fouls!
In the 60th minute of the game, situ Yunbing began to change people.
Sane é replaced Gareth bell, while Camero was replaced by Eriksson.
Liverpool further strengthen the offensive!
Under the attack of attacking the left side, bellelin had a yellow card and his teammates who came to support him also had a yellow card, which led to the rise of the triangular attack system composed of Robertson, sane and Coutinho.
However, situ Yunbing was dissatisfied with his continued power.
Levandovsky and mbape missed great opportunities one after another!
Arsenal's counterattack was only in the 68th minute of the game. Sanchez took Phil Mino's wonderful cross offside to form a single knife, but Sanchez strangely flew the ball after telstegen attacked!
Arsenal fans in the stands of the Emirates Stadium are very sad!
In fact, it has nothing to do with klopper. Since Henry, Arsenal have rarely had strong strikers!
Compare with the top scorer in the Premier League in the past few years.
The best striker in 10 years is Fabregas, ranking eighth in the Premier League and scoring 15 goals.
It was a good 11 years. Van Persie scored 18 goals and ranked third in the Premier League
12 years is van Persie's last year at Arsenal. He won the golden boot of the league and scored 30 goals, but then he moved to Manchester United.
It's been a miserable 13 years. There are no Arsenal players in the top 10 Premier League strikers. Walcott's 14 goals rank 11th in the Premier League
Girou scored 16 goals in 14 years and ranked 10th in the Premier League!
In the past 15 years, Sanchez was the best striker in the Premier League, scoring 16 goals and ranking seventh in the Premier League
Not to mention that Liverpool has been monopolizing the Premier League top scorer in the past three years. Suarez in the first two years and levandowski last season, and two players reached the top three last season. Levandowski ranked first and Gareth bell ranked second. In 14 years, Suarez and Gareth bell also entered the top three at the same time!
Only by analyzing the forward situation of Arsenal in the past few years, it can be clear that in addition to the sudden outbreak of van Persie for many years, Arsenal has no reliable strikers. The scoring rates of GIRU and Sanchez are actually not comparable compared with those of the main strikers of other giants in the Premier League!
This only shows a problem, Arsenal's front line is not good, there is no strong and stable scoring point!
Benchmarking against European giants, whether it's La Liga or Bayern Munich, this situation just shows where other giants are weak!
Klopp wants to do something in the Premier League. He can't just have the ideas and ideas of technical and tactical play. At least he has to solve the problem of attacking goals. He can't always create opportunities but can't grasp them!
Therefore, the focus of Arsenal's future transformation has also surfaced, defense and attack!
