After watching yesterday’s game, I think teams should be wary of Arsenal in stoppage and additional time because Arsenal are utilizing the additional minutes to yield productive results. Against Manchester United and Manchester City, Arsenal have gotten late comeback goals and win games this season. Arsenal really showed the red devils who’s boss at the Emirates, the fans will ride on this victory for the rest of the month.
The pleasure on the faces of Arsenal fans says a lot about how excited they are about the game. They will undoubtedly ride high on their victory for the rest of the month until they meet again in the second leg. Arsenal should be feared not just in the additional minutes, but during the entire game. I like how they are maintaining pace with Manchester City in the title chase; this season from all indications is promising to be another exciting one.
I think this new time rule of additional time will favour arsenal very well because they can sustain pressure. They played well against Manchester United and it’s not up to the lofty heights they have achieved last term, but I'm happy the boys haven't forgotten how to play.
I think they have dominated teams and reduced them to few chances. Those are some of the things they have done very well. They aren’t very clinical right now and they’re making some errors but it will come together soon.
I've not seen a club that has not had their luck during injury time, clubs often have their moments and Arsenal is not peculiar here. Even with what they played with Man U, they aren't the one that was supposed to sustain any pressure, it's the Man U team. I'm also sorry to say this since it's strange that it sweetens me when Erik Ten Hag's side suffers some kind of ridicule. It keeps on happening no matter how I try to let go of such a feeling. This might be partly due to how the guy treated C. Ronaldo while he was playing for Man U and the way people attributed too much importance to him and forgot the contribution of other coaches shortly before him.
Besides, Man U needs to be serious, it's still a disaster for them to beat lesser clubs since the start of this season and also incurred two losses at this early time of the season. What gives clubs upper standing is their ability to beat bigger clubs, but I wonder how the club that can't beat Arsenal will be able to beat Man City and possibly beat Liverpool with their current feat.
