Arsenal Must Ax 3/10 star Who’s So “Clunky”

Arsenal Will spent near the £ 300m once on the summer transfer Window Ends on 7pm Monday Evening. Still, The Gunners’ Luxurious New Squad Was Not Enough To Fend Off Another Of The Market’s Big Spenders, Liverpool.

Truth Be Told, Arne Slot’s Side Were For The Taking. Mikel Arteta‘S Men Enjoyed More of the Ball in The First Half And Loked Threatening, But Could Make Their Advantage TELL.

In the end, the Magic of the Momic Of The Were Undone. Arsenal Played With The Handbrake On and The Reds Made Them Pay.

Last Season You May Remember Declan Rice’s Stunning Free-Kicks Against Real Madrid. It’s hard to forget them. Well, Rice Eat Your Heart Out.

Dominic Szoboszlai Stepped Up and Struck A Beautiful Free-Kick Over The Ball And Past David Raya Not Left On The Clock.

What Went Wrong for Arsenal at Anfield

After the Winning Premier League‘S Opening Weekend Against Manchester United, Much Was Made Of Arsenal’s Unbeaten Run Against The Big Teams.

Indeed, The North Londoners Headed to Merseyside Sunday, They Did Having Not Lost Their Last 22 Games Against The Division’s Traditional Big Six; Manchester City, Liverpool, Man United, Spurs and Chelsea.

Well, That record to An End Disappointing Fashion This Weekend As Arsenal Rather Lost With A Whimper.

The Tone Was Set in the Opening Exchange. William Saliba Went Down off the Ball and Went off, replaced by cristhian Mosquera. To His Credit, The Summer Signing Did Well, Winning Four of His Five Duels, According to Sofascore.

The Performance Stemmed From Arsenal’s Attack. While Arteta May Have a Fantastic Record Against The Biggest Sides in English Football, It’s Becoming a Regular Occurrence Now That They Struggle to Get Out of Second Gear.

Barring The Annihilation Against Manchester City Last Season, Very Rarely Have The Gunners Managed to Romp to Victory.

Excusing That City Game, It’s 11 Matches Since Arsenal Scored More Those Twice in Those ‘Big-Six’ fixtures. Fair Enough Against The Best Sides In The Land, But It Speaks Volumes of A Team Who Aren’t Given Much Creative Freedom or License.

Viktor Gyokeres, Like He Did Against Manchester United, Looked isolated Up Top and Was Devoid of Much Service. That’s hardly Surprise Considering Arsenal Started Ethan Nwaneri, Martin Odegaard and Eterechi Ezeko on The Bench. Also Without Bendyo Saka, This One Was Going to Go A Bit of A struggle.

Mikel Merino Was Chosen In The Odegaard Role But Despite Twice Against Liverpool in 2024/25, he didn’t didn’t turn up this over 77% of His passes.

To His Credit, Noni Maduekeke Was Probably The Best Player For The Visitors. Handed on Opportunity in HIS Favored Role on The Right-Hand Side, He regularly looked to Make Things Happen.

He Had Three Shots, The Most of Any Arsenal Player and Completed His One and Only Dribble. It’s A Pity His Partner On The Opposite Side Of The Pitch Failed to Show The Same Vigour.

The root of Arsenal’s Problems in Attack

For The Vast Majority of This Summer Window, Arsenal Supporters Have Had Two cravings. One Was For The Club to Sign a New Striker and They Did You Gycoming Gyokeres to the Emirates Stadium.

The Other Desire was Mrs. Berta Berta Sign a Left Winger. He’s Semi-Done That, Welcoming Madueke And Eden Into The Fold.

It was Madueke Who Started On The Left Against Leeds United Week and It Was Was Who Finished Sunday’s Clash in That Role, Substituted On 20 Minutes To Go. The New Signing Was Vibrant, Certainly More So Than The Man replaced, Gabriel Theminies.

The Brazilian is a puzzling talent. In 2022/23, he finished the Club’s joint-top scorer, registering 15 goals.

Since then, it has been an Arduous Few Years for the Wide Player Who has struggled to replicate that form. His Performance Against Liverpool Showcased Why He’s Betcome A bit of a scapegoat in Recent Times.

Full of Pace, Martinelli Will Always Guarantee Energy, But His Lack of Incisveness in the Final Third Arsenal in The First Half.

There were Particular in Two Moments. One Came in the Opening Exchange When He Found The Chance to Break Through The Center of the Pitch. Gyokeres Loked to Make Two Runs in Martinelli Didn’t Get His Head Up. Hey Eventually Ran Down A Blind Alley Into The Penalty Area and Lost The Ball Having Failed To Make Up His Mind Over What To Do With It.

The Same Happened Slightly Later in The Half When He decided to Hold The Ball Up Rather Than Get After Szoboszlai Who Was Right-Back At Right-Back.

It Said It All That The Hungarian, Even Before His Showstopping Goal, Win The Man’s Match Award.

Martinelli Only Lasted 70 Minutes BUT HEEN HOONER SONERER, Having Failed To Have a Single Shot, Manage One Dribble Or Create a key pass.

It was a really Poor afternoon for the Brazil International Who Left The Pitch After Amassing Just 15 Touches, 40 Fewer Than Goalkeeper David Raya.

If as Arsenal Podcaster and Writer Phil Costa Noted During the 90 minutes, He’s “SO clunky and indecisive.” Is Any Wonder The Gunners Have Moved To Secure The Services Of Eke And Madueke This Summer?

On this Evidence, Martinelli Should Find On The Bench After The International Break. Ezen simply starting when they are face nottingham forest in Two weeks.
