What you said is true with Liverpool they came into the match with much determination on winning the match than Arsenal were looking like. Liverpool didn't have many chances but when there was a very open opportunity to get a goal they maximise it. I have skepticism on Arsenal having this season flow in an incredible way for them, it is going to be harder for them than previous season despite their buildup particularly with how many others clubs have made their squad tighter than how they were.
I'd say Liverpool is still too strong for Arsenal this season. While both teams played very well and wanted to give their best, it must be acknowledged that the coach was crucial in this match, and Arteta was late in reading the game.
So, it could be said that the difference between Arsenal and Liverpool is the coach. Slot knows who to bring on at what minute, because he knows what he has to do to win. This isn't like Arteta who's always late, and this has always been his weakness every season. Although there were several Arsenal players who didn't stand out in that match he didn't replace them with other players to improve the game. He should have brought Eze on earlier, not in the 70th minute. This was different Slot's changes paid off. Szoboszlai free kick was special, and Slot decision to bring on Jones was perfect as Liverpool ball flow was more fluid.
You made a compelling argument mate and it is carried when we are to make comparison about the two coaches managerial quality and taste of players. Despite how long Mikel Arteta has stayed in Arsenal he has not being that able to win major trophy with the club except that he has elevated the club a little but just to a second place finishing in the premier league and their constant qualification to the Eufa champions league.
Arne Slot not long his took over Liverpool in the middle of last season, kept up with the momentum Jurgen Klopp left at and has actually advanced the club and the team with much brilliant players right now.
Mikel Arteta is good but his mentality is not sufficient to win major trophies for Arsenal and the past years with him as manager of the club can speak for it. Can there be a change of manager to the Arsenal club and with the players presently in the club a better coach can make something better than this M. Arteta is doing.
