Arsenal starve wolves

-

Arsenal are enjoying something of a mini-revival having beaten Southampton in the league last midweek, Sheffield United in the FA Cup last weekend and then a poor Norwich side in a midweek league game.Nuno Espirito Santo’s men were in excellent form and presented a major step up in class for Mikel Arteta’s men. The results for Arsenal this last week have masked their deficiencies and Wolves we incapable of exposing them.

And speaking on Match of the Day, Keown can only see good signs for the future.

“They’re looking so much more resolute,” he saidI’m immensely impressed with Arteta, I think that’s the first sort of statement where I think that this is the manager now to take Arsenal forward.they were getting bodies around.as a team, they were always in contact with each other. There was no space at all for Wolves and they could just mop up nicely at the back. This was probably as good as a performance as I’ve seen. As a group today, that was the best performance under Arteta.”

Arsenal will be hoping that the team keep up the performance level when they face another crucial game against Leicester City on Tuesday as they look to close the gap on the top four.

After being beaten by Atletico Madrid 1-0 away and at home 3-2,Liverpool were knocked out of Champions league in the round of 16. The European Champions hopes of defending their title was ended because they lost 3-2 to Atletico Madrid which was an aggregate of 4:2.Atletico Madrid played quite defensively and relied mostly on counter attacks. Jurgen Klopp said this about the game,"I am completely happy with the perfomance.It is so difficult to play a side like this."Klopp added he was "searching for the right words." I don't understand with the quality they have the football they play.They could play proper football but they stand deep and play counter attacks.We accept it,of course ,but it doesn't feel right tonight.I realise am really a bad loser,especially when the boys put such an effort against such world class players on the other side who defend in two rows of four.We know in the past two years we have had some lucky moments in the Champions League-you
