The Liverpool boss Arne Slot pointed out the cheap play list of Arsenal in the last third of the season when he explained why the Premier League title race is far from over.
The Reds of Slot have a comfortable lead on the summit of the division for a large part of the campaign, a gap that has remained almost untouched because every Liverpool stumbling was followed by an arsenal from Arsenal.
Most of the advanced metrics may indicate that this is the title of Liverpool that is to be losing, but the slot is firmly convinced that the schedule complicated.
When Slot discussed Arsenal’s record this season: “If you look at the games you already had [twice] – – [Manchester] City, Aston Villa, Tottenham and Brighton, I think – so they had a number of teams that really do well, so it is important to try to expand the lead. “
Arsenal not only navigated both halves of their double haoders with these clubs mentioned above, but they also went through most of their discouraging excursions. Nottingham Forest and Liverpool themselves are the only two clubs in the upper half of the table that arsenal does not yet have to go from home.
In contrast, Liverpool have to travel to Villa Park, the Etihad Stadium of Chelsea Stamford Bridge and the Etihad Stadium of Manchester City.
Slot was also interested in ending the speech of mental strength. “For me, it’s not about psychology,” said the Dutch coach. “For me it is about having nine or six points, that’s the difference. [of a] Read against teams that can win so many games in a row. Let psychology out of the question, it will simply be decisive to have as many points as possible because the teams we are confronted with can win every single game in the Premier League. “
