ARTETA DECKS HIS FOOTBALL DADDY
Arsenal ? what exactly WAS that"
A footballing tour de force, that’s what. An otherworldly display of energy. All the hallmarks of a legendary performance, one that cements the status of this squad as mentality monsters.
There’s no downplaying the sheer brilliance of what unfolded. The team that should have beaten Manchester City at the weekend utterly crushed Chelsea under the relentless pressure of Arsenal’s attack. It was so one-sided, I almost called a charity for advice on how to stop a bully!
From the first whistle, it was a pummeling. Mikel Arteta spoke pre-game about looking up to his footballing daddy… but then proceeded to commit patricide in front of 60,000 people.
27 shots. 10 on target. 3.6 xG. 5 goals. This isn’t how a young team is supposed to behave during a title race, especially after a tough match against Wolves just three days prior. These games are meant to be tense, decided by scrappy, late goals… but Arsenal tore up the AI-developed script, elevating their game to a next level we didn?t think existed.
I was reminded of a story about a Ukrainian soldier in battle. His comrades were slowing down as they ran for cover, and he turned to them and said, “What are you saving your energy for"”
Maybe it’s not right to compare football to something as serious as war, but Arsenal seemed to prove Arteta’s philosophy on fatigue ? it’s all in the mind. And who are we to disagree&quo...
