Ian Wright acknowledges that Arsenal’s 2-1 victory against Wolves this evening was not the smoothest, despite the Gunners securing the win.
Following their impressive performance in the Champions League midweek, Arsenal started the game brightly and quickly established a two-goal lead, creating expectations of a potential high-margin victory.
However, Wolves presented a tougher challenge for Arsenal in the second half, making it difficult for the Gunners to maintain their early dominance. Wolves managed to score a consolation goal, adding tension to the game’s closing stages.
While Arsenal ultimately secured the win, Ian Wright recognises that it was not an easy match for the team, and they had to navigate a more challenging second half against a resilient opponent.
He said on Premier League productions:
“In the second half, it’s fair to say it was a little bit backs to the wall. They definitely put Arsenal under pressure in the box. It was a little bit sloppy at times.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
Wright is correct in his analysis but games like this happen, it is the Premier League and the quality is high and it is not unusual at all to start a game well and to fall away as the game progresses.
Bottom line, we won, that is all that matters.
The lack of a ruthless centre forward was obvious again today. Someone to poke home the half chances that would have put the game to bed early.
Arsenal needs to manage these games better, In my opinion the nervy ending has to be put squarely on the dugout.
It has become increasingly clear Zinchenko though started brilliant and had a good game, started to lapse at the hour mark, White should have been brought on earlier and switched the ever efficient Tomi to the left.
This would just to fresh things up a bit not to blame any individual.
Top man, the lovely entrance jacket yesterday was in celebration of him. The FC acronym in Arsenal FC is slowly becoming fashion club. lol
YES, IT SADLY IS, in some peoples minds. If you ask most football fans to choose between following football or following fashion, there are indeed SOME , nearly all being younger fans, WHO TO ALL APPEARANCES, SEEM TO PREFER FASHION TO ACTUAL FOOTBALL!
Such a crying shame IMO!
