What happened to Liverpool and Arsenal this week? Liverpool faced Fulham and Arsenal faced Everton, they had to be satisfied with a draw.
A draw is a satisfying result for Liverpool based on the red card they got in the match, but for Arsenal, it is not acceptable; it is a disgraceful result.
In the Liverpool vs Fulham match, the match ended with a score of 2-2. And in this match, besides Liverpool having to fall behind first to Fulham, they also had to play with 10 men, after Robertson was sent off the field in the 17th minute. Playing with 10 men for quite a long time is indeed not easy, but Liverpool still showed their champion mentality where even though they only played with 10 men, Liverpool managed to control the course of the match and dominate in carrying out attacks.
Liverpool players really tried in this match, they played more than 70 minutes of the game with 10 men, and they keep playing well like they never have a man down in the match; they are even close to winning the match due to the pressure they put on Fulham defense; in fact it is acceptable to said that Fulham is lucky to get a point at Anfield today.
Meanwhile, for the Arsenal VS Everton match, this should have been a match that Arsenal could win, but it is very unfortunate that in this match Arsenal's attack line appeared blunt, where they only played around in the opponent's defense area but were unable to make a shot to tear Everton's goal. Arsenal's finishing was very poor in this match, so that until the referee blew the long whistle, there were no goals scored in this match.
Arsenal did not play well today, and Arteta is the main reason why Arsenal draw this match today; his pattern of team selection is not proper, he do intentionally benched some important players and keep trying something that will not work for him, and at the end he will be looking aggressive to bring them in the few minutes of the game to perform magic for him. As an Arsenal fans, I am disappointed today because I never expected such result because we are supposed to win this match to reduce the points gap between us and Liverpool and Chelsea.
