DBasia.news – Arsenal’s winning trend must stop at the hands of Crystal Palace. The Gunners are seen starting to run out of gas even though the 2020-2021 Premier League has not reached half the season.
In the match that took place at the Emirates Stadium, Friday (15/1), Arsenal and Palace were only able to draw 0-0. Even though Mikel Arteta’s team controlled the game more.
Arsenal are able to dominate ball possession by up to 68 percent. But they were only able to fire four shots on goal from 11 experiments.
Those statistics make it clear something is wrong with this forward Arsenal. Even though they were able to score a total of ten goals from their last four matches.
This deficiency was admitted directly by Arteta. However, he saw the stamina factor as the cause of the problem.
“We created a lot of situations against teams with low defense. But they lacked the final quality. We may not have done enough to win the game,” Arteta said after the match.
“We played a lot of games and you can see fatigue is paying the price because a lot of players are not fresh.”
“We had a period of fatigue related to where we continued to deliver the ball. We lacked the quality in the final third to win games,” he added.
Admittedly, Arsenal’s game decreased a little this time. Young players like Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe were unable to give the energy they had in previous matches.
This of course should be given more attention by Arteta. If it is not immediately addressed, it is not impossible for Arsenal to fall back into relegation again.
