The start of EPL came with Arteta still unable to fumble out of his not-too-convincing career in Arsenal. Brentford came roaring from relegation to beat Arsenal who dream of getting to top four this season. But like their pre-season, a miscarriage of dreams, they fell a goal behind to Brentford through Canos super strike.
From that moment forward, Brentford became the Bully, created more chances and Arsenal passed sideways as if the goal post was at the corner flag.
Anyways, White white-out on the field, the presence of 50 million bargain wasn't felt. Mari was too casual for a defender. Tierney will soon burn out. Chambers tried his chambers-efforts.
Upfront Balogun was starved of direct passes. Pepe will never pepper any defender except when he is in luck. The dude cannot be consistent except he sees a man-manager.
Smith is a ball-smith but combined with Xhaka sideways and momentary slip & sleep off, Smith Rowe just rowing to a fruitless breeze. Martinelli needs to man-managed too. Lokonga just a day old in premier league, can't deliver like Konga yet.
Arteta needs more tutorial from Guardiola. Short passes not combined with direct & long passes will cost him tears and fears of small bullies like Brentford.
Beaten and bruised, Arsenal now sits at the bottom of the table that they were on top few hours ago.
Congrats to Canos, congrats to Norgaard, congrats to Brentford. Premier League is cheap courtesy of such team like Arsenal.
Weekend waits.
