preview the big games coming up Liverpool against Arsenal and
fill that definitely headlines reaction to let start that
shall we Nick mentola Liverpool lost at what time before
the international break so young folks had that
profess their own and it wasn't happy about some of
the decisions in that game and some of the top to the previous
standards they set a high standard so far this season by
ferras know that there has to be flying on the end of
the color
test today to prove defensively rhymestyle band White Cap real
looking really good so what do you expect in this game and
feel because everyone probably to start a season when it said
it's going to be an easy win for Liverpool but I know right
now right
mikkel arteta to go. Or maybe even Mourinho because he likes
his goalkeeper he likes his Defenders Thomas has been very
very good as cover for them
and I would expect Liverpool to have a lot of the ball and
maybe before 6 I think you're going, I don't know what was
the last game but one of the last game since his post-match
press conference so we're not finding the answers in
the final
third even though they're scoring a lot of goals there
they're not making necessarily the right choices with the ball
and that's what he wants to see more of so I think Arsenal as
as unsexy as this will be to the gooners out there still
know that
there's a gulf and they would love to take a point from this
match they would love to have some Speedy guys in Playmakers
to hit them on the break so I think it's a very interesting
situation here I wanted when I opened this talk when we
were looking at what we're going to talk about today I was
ready to say this is a bridge too far for Arsenal but that
thought popped into my head that I think they may be
capable of holding Liverpool down to hitting them on
the brake while
and if they do win this game and filled it's a big a thought
they would jump above Liverpool into fourth place so this place
all snowy can spoil Place Live it's only been a few weeks so
let's not get too carried away but impressed you most about
arsenal when the way it kind
of turned things around is it you only just been because now
they have a fully-fit squad to choose from in that their
starting 11 is pretty much set in stone
it's a big part of it when you when you get a player like
Thomas partey back in and we were all very complimentary of
him as a player when they signed him last season it was
very much an issue of how many games is he going
to play and that's the only part of last season and so
the season went about how you would expect it was maybe the most
important player only playing about half the game he's been
really good for me I think they've got a little bit more
balanced
this season between the defending and attacking I
I think that are Touch of has realized that I've got to do
a little bit more of the full-backs I've got to give
them more freedom to get bored and provide that wins because
there are some good more
Central attacking players in a bombing at a sad and even Emile
Smith Rowe I don't think is really a Winger he attempts to
tuck inside a little bit and so they get really narrow it just
needs to build a structure feel pretty good balance right now
on Liverpool really quick and what the game plan should be
against them for Arsenal in this game I'm looking at
the teams that have gotten results against Liverpool in recent
weeks it in and then there's one
commonality I think between all of them as West Ham Brighton
Manchester city was in there at Brentford was in there none of
those team sit back none of those things that back against
Liverpool in those games they took the game to them they were
proactive in
the way that they defend it and put them under pressure turn
them over won the ball back and created their goals from a lot
of opportunities like that so I approached it to sit back too
much and give them too much of the ball too much
time because the one thing the teams tend to do when teams did
indeed defensively is cross the ball a ton and what do
Liverpool have more than any other club in the world they
have incredible crossers of the ball and Trent alexander-arnold
Andy Robertson at at
the fullback spot they score so many goals from crosses from
the full-backs that if you invite them into your final
third and you're sitting back deep but I don't have a field
day with you so I just think you have to put them under
pressure that
you have to make him uncomfortable because it's for
his as much as they do that to other team they really don't
like it when it comes back to when they get a taste of their
own medicine so that belief and confidence and they go into
this game thinking that they belong
and they can get the result then I think that they actually can
I'm kind of with you as well with pretty high on all snow
this week which we haven't been able to save for a very long
time but especially I'm looking at some of the Congress been in
there with granite Shafter Religious Ed Smith
throw us around like is it the woke and his socks off which is
dominated by me and so who were they like to get on The Bold
and get it wide and feed Salah and Mane
I do really like this matchup I really do because I think I'll
still have shown against Leicester and other teams that
they can defend well and they can we spank was withstand
a low pressure around salesman Sensational as well and go when
this distribution I think
adds a whole new dimension to their play because now they can
play out the way. Tessa wants to write just like when he's
insisting cultured Man City and they got the playoff in the box
and build but they can direct option to an
office blind fool would have been exceptional on the pool so
I really do like this matchup but this is Liverpool they've
been destroying teams they destroyed all Snow White and
the previous Premier League season so never write them all
and I feel like
maybe that defeat white West am in some ways has a very good
thing for them so I got to get a reality check they're not
just going to lose to a premier league title bit shall we say
that I really have to be at the game
and I do think they're awesome cats defensively whether it be
my seat for Van Dyke alexander-arnold I don't think
those three have been at their best every single guy in
the season has been a lot of other teams have been able to exploit
so like West
time like Brighton. Call multi P capital a steam news stream
