Brighton is flying high right now and they also keep scoring goals failing only once while Arsenal coming off a three win streak.
In the first half brighton really controlled the match, they often counterattacked very quickly and made the arsenal defense work quite hard, in my opinion brighton game in the first half was quite extraordinary and was able to create a lot of chances which was quite dangerous, but unfortunately they were a little unlucky in making the final settlement so that the first half of the match ended with the score 0-0, as an arsenal fan, I really hope that in the second half arsenal can play better and be able to create opportunities to score goals.
I'm surprised at how well Brighton played. Arsenal had a horrible start to the season but they showed that they are turning around with a 3-0 win vs Tottenham but they are back to square one. Brighton also dominated the possession with having a 60% possession and 84% passing rate. I loved their build-up play. They were just not able to finish it in the box. Could Brighton be the poor man's Leicester City?
Arsenal had a very good game against Tottenham and how they managed to move from playing a highly impressive attacking and pressing football against Tottenham, to being frustrated and struggling against Brighton, this Levels of inconsistency is what I don’t understand. Although Brighton has been very good from the beginning of the season and showed their consistency against the Gunners. Arsenal showcased a poor and trivial performance, just luck could stave off their defeat as they grapple with the constant attacking spree from Brighton.
We cannot blame Arsenal for this match,they really tried their best,only for Aubameyang who was a flop through out the match,he is responsible for their draw,because he never converted a chances,he never played like a top nine,but when Lacazette came on,Arsenal constantly pressurise them with corners.
That game showed us that Arsenal have really improved in their defence,with the presence of Gabriel,White,Tomiyasou and Tierney,Arsenal find it difficult to concede goals this time around. They all tried their best. Let's see what happens in the next game to come.
Arsenal manager should stop his grudges and start Laccazete in certain games, you cannot reply on a player who cannot hold the ball, please, pick players according to their ability. Brighton were not ready to hold the play, they consistently drop off play and playing to target men. Arsenal wanted to counter play and it’s a very crazy football mentality, practically for small teams. Starting Lacazette in a physical game like that should have been the best idea.
