The leagues are won on small matches like Arsenal had yesterday. You need to win matches against weak teams and they barely got a point at home. Southampton o most took all three points and they needed them badly,but still one point is large against Arsenal.
Arsenal should have used their last three matches build up their points but they messed up, Arsenal performance this season have been nice, Liverpool, West Ham and Southampton shouldn't be a difficult club for Arsenal to win, but they wasted chances which they should have utilized well. After performing well from the beginning of the season to ending, now they are dragging the league from Manchester city. Arsenal chances of winning the league is very slim now, if they can't win Manchester City, then all their efforts to win the league have been wasted.
This is a natural thing for a club to feel, because I have seen many clubs who play well but they are not consistent until the season ends. And it seems that this is felt by Arsenal, where they had to lose 6 points out of the 9 points they had to receive from 3 matches. Losing 6 points makes a lot of sense, especially since their competitors are also very close to them. Now they can only hope that some bad luck will befall Manchester City, to keep them ahead.
Liverpool's performance has been inconsistent this season. They seem to have difficulty creating synergy among them, therefore they don't have a stable rhythm of play. The most obvious faltering is their line of defense, even if they concede first, the shakiness eventually spreads throughout the line, and this made them become desperate in their pursuit of victory. I think Liverpool seems to have lost their winning mentality and it is the task for Klopp to provide a solution.
Yes, this season Liverpool has experienced a very extraordinary mental degradation. Various problems arise that make their appearance often chaotic. But tonight's victory is certainly a great achievement. The additional three points can be the capital to be able to compete for a position in the Europa League. Klopp certainly still set a realistic target. There are only seven weeks left in the match, the Reds certainly cannot lose their momentum again.
They can score a lot of goals in one game, but what's the point if in another game it's a different story. Actually they have the ability to do extraordinary things, but somehow Jurgen Klopp hasn't found the right formula to make them better. Before the season started, it was predicted that Liverpool would be a club ready to compete like last season, when they competed until the end of the season with Manchester City, but this season they still have to face a very difficult problem to solve.
