Arsenal really remind me of Maureen’s Chelsea. Very defensive, big physical defenders that harass the goalie’s and bundle/header the ball over the line. Up until the first goal it was relatively even against Villa. Then on a corner/set play they all go up and basically muscle the ball over the goal line, by bumping the goalie…not nice football to watch. So many times watching the old Chelsea they would do the same thing, end up winning 3-0 by basically muscling the ball over the line and the first to fall on the ground and hold their face when they get out muscled. Saka even looks like a cheap Hazzard, dribbling then falling over and getting the foul and Arteta will be as arrogant as Maureen was if he can actually win something. He also has the Maureen “everyone is against us” vibe because they basically were.I think Maureen reinvented football as horrible as it was to watch. Pep reinvented football as did Klopp and they will be remembered, I don’t think Arteta adds any value to a team that has had over a billion spent on it. I’m hoping they will over heat with emotion as they usually do and fade towards the end of the season. If the PL would protect the goalies more from deliberate bumping and physical play they would not be top of the league, it’s their game and they have won a lot of matches because of it. It’s negative football and they get away with a lot. I’ve never seen Arteta smile so much as he is this season.
it was pretty awful to be fair
