Hopefully after the break the performance will be better because if it continues like this then their performance at the end of last season could be repeated by continuing to get a series of unexpected defeats.
I know that after the last two defeats and with how many points Arsenal have taken in their last five games, Arsenal fans have their mind on what happened to them last season, thinking it is happening all over again. The thing is, it is quite different, last season they started losing games towards the end of the season, it is just mid season this time around, so they prolly have the time to fix things and get their title charge back on track. Having said that, i feel sorry for Arsenal and Liverpool that there is a team like City that are just unstoppable when we get to the title run-in, it is going to be City's title again this season, even though so many people are tired of seeing the same winner year after year.
Still, in the end this is not too different because Arsenal's decline last season started from unexpected defeats that continued until they lost momentum and fell behind Manchester City who became their rival in the title last season.
Currently with their 2 consecutive defeats now Arsenal have begun to erode and thrown to 4th place so with this there needs to be an improvement so that what happened to them last season and the previous few seasons does not happen this season.
The increase and decrease in Arsenal's performance always occurs suddenly which makes a lot of people worried after these 2 defeats because with this it could be that they lose momentum and cannot compete for the championship.
Today's match Liverpool is likely to be a little interesting because their momentum is very good now to top the table very comfortably but Newcastle is currently still able to survive even though in the last few matches they have been quite bad.
I expect a real fight for Newcastle in this match because indeed now Newcastle is not a weak club anymore but is one of the candidate clubs to be in the Champions League or Europa League so they have to show their strength and try to get up after a few matches passed with bad results.
