According to news on November 5, Newcastle defeated Arsenal 1-0 at home in the 11th round of the Premier League, breaking the Gunners’ unbeaten streak this season.
Arsenal coach Arteta believed that the refereeing of this game was disgraceful and used many strong words. Many people believed that Arteta could not afford to lose.
Fans from different standpoints will have different views on the controversy surrounding this game.
– Havertz avoids a red card with a flying tackle
– Guimarães avoids a red card for elbowing Jorginho
– Trippier was not punished for smothering Havertz with the ball
– If the ball does not go out of bounds, Joelinton presses both hands on Gabriel’s back. Is this not a pushing foul?
If you put aside the VAR controversy in this game, when Arteta calms down, he needs to reflect on Arsenal’s offensive problems.
Eddie Howe’s tactical deployment was successful, we must admit this.
In the absence of Odegaard, Arsenal’s offense can only rely on two wingers, Martinelli on the left and Saka on the right.
Newcastle’s response strategy is to never give them any “one-on-one” opportunities.
We can see that when Martinelli gets the ball, Joelinton or Almiron will come back to help the right back Trippier; when Saka gets the ball, Longstaff or Gordon will come back to help defend and help the left back Dan. -Byrne. Sometimes it even forms a triangle.
Even after substitutions, Newcastle’s substitutes were able to stick to Eddie Howe’s tactical deployment. After Livramento and Ricci came on the field, they also defended very solidly on the right.
Whether it is Martinelli or Saka, it is difficult to form a one-on-one situation, and in a one-on-one situation, they can often get rid of inside shots. Martinelli only had one shot, but his shot was too direct and weak, and the ball was confiscated by goalkeeper Pope.
Odegaard’s absence has a huge impact. The Norwegian has not recovered from his waist injury. He came on as a substitute in the League Cup, but then felt bad again. Arteta did not risk letting him enter the game squad.
Neither Havertz nor Jorginho can replace Odegaard’s offensive organization work.
Before this game, Saka entered the opponent’s penalty area 8 times per game, but only 3 times against Newcastle. This shows that Newcastle’s defense is good, and it also shows that Arsenal’s own offensive organization is not effective enough.
Including the Community Shield Cup this season, Arsenal has played 17 games. Last night was the only game in which the Gunners did not score a goal. There was something wrong with Arsenal’s offense.Return to Sohu to see more
