The article analyses Arsenal's recent performance in a match against Liverpool that ended in a 2-2 draw. It discusses how the match served as a backdrop for conversations about player conduct rather than the game itself, given the context of Arsenal's secured Champions League qualification. The piece highlights Arsenal's statistical struggles, particularly dropping 21 points from winning positions, almost correlating with their failure to maintain a league-leading position. It suggests that Mikel Arteta is aware of these stats and emphasizes the need to convert leads into wins for team success.
In the clinical moments, does the ball hit the post and come out, or go in? Thatâs the fine margins. What we have to try to do is to amplify the margins.
Arsenal have dropped 21 points from winning positions this season (Liverpool just 13), while Liverpool have gained 22 (Arsenal just 13). If they'd matched each other in those respects, Arsenal would be two points clear at the top of the league.
