Arsenal’s problems are not just fixed, Premier League hits and missed | Football News

Arsenal's problem is more than just setting

Arsenal's latest collapse against Bournemouth now means that the winning position of this semester has dropped by 21 points. Only four teams have done more management – ​​two of them compete in the championship next season, and the other is often counted by the word "Spursy".

Nine of these are going to appear since early April, including in each of the last three home games. In the encounter between the three emirates, all key points are removed by fixed targets.

Yoane Wissa, Eberechi Eze, Dean Huijsen and Evanilson all found the net through fixed decorations, and Arsenal's main focus is that all four fixed goals are different.

Wiesa scored through the second stage of the corner, Ez scored from the corner of the fixture to the edge, Huyson threw for a long time, and Evan Nelson was alone at the back whistle.

But Arsenal's dilemma is much more than that. David Raya was driven away in his second straight Premier League match. Jean-Philippe Mateta found the net, and Evanilson turned down a similar opportunity in Bournemouth.

"In many cases, we've thrown the ball away, which is far from the standard," Mikel Arteta said. Arsenal's problem is not limited to setting. There are also accumulations, toughness and shooting points. At the worst times, they become easy to fight.

Highlights of the Premier League between Arsenal and Bournemouth.

In the Premier League, it is difficult to earn points at home. But Bournemouth looks easy. Arsenal’s victory means the fearless side of Andoni Iraola, who hasn’t changed anyone, family or anyone out, and has only lost one of their last 12 Premier League distances – only Arsenal (2) and Liverpool (1) have lost fewer games this season.

It shows the extraordinary belief and confidence of Errara and her players, Bournemouth’s style of playing football regardless of their opponents. In management, this brave approach stands out from the crowd, after all, probably just bringing Bournemouth to Europe.

If Manchester City wins the FA Cup final against Crystal Palace and Cherries maintain their position in eighth place, it will be next season's conference league. That adventure will be free from fear. That's Bournemouth's way.

Highlights of the Premier League, Manchester City faces wolf

Despite the Wolves' two-time appearance against Manchester City, this is the fifth clean sheet in seven games around Pep Guardiola. Kevin de Bruyne made headlines after City's 1-0 win, but his coach was just glad to find something that worked.

Guardiola freely admitted that he didn't expect it to be Nico O'Reilly and Matheus Nunes as his defenders, but the change was successful. It's five wins and raffle draws in six matches in New York City since O'Reilly made his debut in the Premier League.

The decision to raise the defender and get width from it - limiting the chances of a large number of opportunities Guardiola has taken - was a reversal of the strategy, winning the Champions League for this team, but addressing some issues.

It is worth noting that it allows Manchester City to fill the midfield with a quartet’s aging pass and suits them. Bernardo Silva, Kevin de Bruyne, Ilkay Gundogan and Mateo Kovacic are all close to the players now, with a smaller distance.

Guardiola was admitted by himself that given his high standards as a tactician, Guardiola should figure it out sooner rather than later. "Now, I reflect why Nico O'Reilly didn't compete in November, December, January, February," he said recently. "I should have done it!"

Being late is better than not. Guardiola solved the problem and caught up with the football game that won the Champions League next season. He shrugged, suggesting that capturing Arsenal might be the target. The top five and FA Cup champions are now doing well for the city.

Highlights of the Premier League match between Leicester and Southampton.

Jamie Vardy's farewell tour could further write himself into Leicester history, but he can still achieve it in the Premier League.

The 38-year-old scored 199 goals in 499 games at Leicester and had three games to score in the BJC and the league is also double-digit this season.

Vardy hopes to stay on top flight, and his season-final score ending will only increase the interest of potential suitors.

His strike against Southampton is ruthless, a reminder of what he can do, even though he only ended in 12 games with the painful campaign of Leicester.

When Vardy wore a Leicester shirt, the next three games weighed well beyond the statistics. They offer legendary delivery, perfect symmetry of 200 goals in 500 games and remind anyone who watches Premier League clubs that he still has the ability to starve and make an impact.

Highlights of the Premier League match between Everton and Ipswich.

That doesn't make any sense for the season, but it brings some exciting cheers to Ipswich fans of the inevitable pain when confirming relegation.

Kieran McKenna's team showed fearlessness and determination, which was lacking throughout the season but showed that they were capable of competing at this level.

Meanwhile, Everton has curbed the joyful scene at Goodison Park in his 15th draw of the season, but now the safety is confirmed, and all attention can turn to the last home game against Southampton on May 18, with the club undoubtedly going to provide the iconic stadium with the delivery it deserves.

The feeling of the end of the season, but it has amazing goals, intense battles and a late twist. What else can you ask for?
