Very lucky Arsenal with that late minute goal, it seems like most of the teams are strugling so much in tiny pitch like Luton and Bournemuth ones.
That's a fair argument if if you look at the attacking part of the game - but Arsenal scored 4 goals yesterday.
Defending on small pitches is easier, there's less space even for smaller teams to find open crosses, to freely send long balls from deep zones.
When you struggle to win against a weaker team and you scored 4 goals, it ain't the pitch
Arsenal used to have the shortest pitch too before they got their Gulf money -- I remember attackers complaining they ran out of grass quicker than they expected but yeah, I think smaller pitches are easer to defend, and it affects pacier teams. No team needs to complain anymore (but I will say astroturf is the true horror).
Also how do you feel about Nunez? I still really like the way he plays, sure, I could do with better goal returns (he's still pretty high on on contributions per minute though) but so long as he continues to sow chaos, I'm good.
Arsenal really keeping the pressure on, but I think Liverpool are better chasers than leaders.
