5 MISTAKES ARSENAL MADE IN 2016/2017 EPL


It is no news any more that gunners could not meet up with their records of being among the top
four in English Premier League which they have been keeping track of for more than a decade after loosing what was thought to be a decisive match been them and the Spurs boys at White Heart Lane last weekend.

The London derby ended in a 2-0 keeping the gunners sixth(6) on the table with a seventeen(17) points gap between their hosts.

Arsenal's slip in this season might have been as a result of these five mistakes:


#1. Sluggish defence: Arsenals conceded just 36 goals last season placing them second after the champions, Leicester City. With five(5) more matches for the gunners, they have conceded 42 goals with much possibility of conceding more before the season winds up.

#2. Missing goal chances: No thanks to their inability to convert and create goal chances. Compared to last season, Arsenal has so far created 364 chances compared to their 464 chances last season, this could be related to the strikers lack of insights.

#3.Top 4 race: Unlike last season when the likes of Chelsea, Liverpool were not getting their form right, this season as seen the duos finding their place in the top four with the Man City and Tottenham indispensably positioned.

#4. Manager's hackneyed statistics: Wenger's tactics is getting bored and many teams have studied this overtime forgetting to realize football has got a new science with a paradigm shift from what gave him the trophy more than a decade ago. The old way won't get you result anymore, the new tactics has seen clubs like Chelsea, Man City, Man U'td and even Leicester claiming trophies through its adoption.

#5. Arsenal's Board Miser Funding: Some school of thoughts have believed that the Arsenal's board are so miser in spending and that is the reason while they have not shown the french man, Arsene Wenger out having stayed more than two decades. The board are much concerned about economy rather than trophy with their biggest buy so far being Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil.

Though some of the big four has experienced their individual challenges in the past season.Chelsea finished tenth(10th) last season likewise Liverpool who took the eighth (8th) and Man Utd in the fifth(5th) position, this season has been a turn around for them after putting their houses in order.

Whether next season will be a different ball game for Arsenal or not, time will tell. And this can only happen if the gunners do what is right and not doing the same thing repeatedly while expecting a better result.

thats the general mistake any team can make to lose

D only mistake arsenal made dis season is d same mistake Arsenal have always been making in previous seasons.. WENGER'S STUBBORNNESS.. Arsene has always been very stubborn about changing tactics, players and formation... Arsenal has always been lucky to make top 4 in previous seasons because of d naivety of Liverpool and Tottenham especially. They finished 2nd last season wen dey shld have won d league with every other "big" and major contender struggling... Dis season was always going to b d same story.. D likes of Iwobi had few good games at d start of d season and instead of Wenger to give d lad a breather he kept playing him even though he was completely useless in most matches after d first 3 months of d season.. D same can b said about Ozil... Ozil flourishes in a midfield where there are combative partners to do d dirty work while he frees up space.. When u play with average players, definitely ur performance would b affected. Sanchez's performance seems to b dropping as well because d supporting cast isn't there. Arsenal had d chance to sign Schnerdelin, Kante and most annoying Wanyama who openly wanted to come to arsenal but because of WENGER'S stubbornness he bought a xhaka instead who is similar to Ramsey in style of player and have been d defensive and combative midfielder Arsenal have always lacked. If ur midfield is always found wanting, ur defence will always b exposed no matter how gud dey are.. WENGER'S stubbornness in sticking with d same players and tactics for every match is annoying most tyms and even his subs would show u dat... No coach shld b as patient with players as Wenger does. If u're not performing, someone else shld b allowed to perform else there won't b competition in d team. Dats one of d reasons why arsenal players have stagnated over d years. Wilshere, Ramsey, Gibbs and most annoying Walcott are very average players who are very relaxed at arsenal because of lack of competition. Tottenham on d other hand have improved on their players and as such u can see their performances on d pitch. And bulk of the team is from their Academy and reserves. I really do wish dey DON'T qualify because dats d only way d drastic change arsenal needs would come..

which mistake? That is Arsenal for you. If you want high blood pressure support Arsenal. Their fans are trying.
