Even before the start of that game, I was not expecting Atlanta to win against Arsenal because Arsenal are stronger than them, and moreover, Arsenal were the favourites to win the match, and Arsenal will not want to lose that game against Atlanta. It is not surprising that they tried their possible best that they did not lose, nor did Atlanta win against them, and this is how the game should be if Arsenal did not win. It will be a very bad result for Arsenal to lose to Atlanta. I’m not trying to underrate Atlanta, but Arsenal is stronger and also in better form than them.
I don’t think you were able to watch the game yesterday because if you watched that game, you wouldn’t have said that Arsenal tried because, based on our expectations of Arsenal, what they played was totally not the best because they were not able to have a chance to even play well. To me, Atalanta even played better than Arsenal, even though I know it ended up being a draw game because Arsenal were just able to have only 6 shots in the entire match and just 2 shots on target. Then you will think that they played well.
Based on expectations for Arsenal, they were supposed to play more than that because we all know that their performance is better than that of Atalanta, but they ended up playing around in the field; if not for the penalty that Atalanta lost, they would have won the game, and I don’t think Arsenal will equalise in that game yesterday.
