“The title chase could be over for us if he repeats that mistake again” – Bukayo Saka blames Arsenal man for letting the whole team down against Liverpool today
Arsenal star Bukayo Saka has hinted that Mikel Arteta might have gone too defensive in the second half of today’s game against Liverpool.
The Gunners went in front twice against the Reds, but had to settle for a 2-2 draw at the Emirates Stadium, and it seems Saka isn’t satisfied with how the team played.
Speaking to Sky Sports after the game, the England international, who opened the scoring with a superb strike early on, said he felt Arsenal didn’t show the best version of themselves, and that they sunk back too much, which gave Liverpool more momentum as the game went on…
Arteta could have perhaps done more to keep Arsenal in control of this game, but the Spanish tactician also arguably had his hands tied a bit due to the long list of injuries he was contending with.
Martin Odegaard has been out for a while, and William Saliba was also suspended for this match, while Gabriel Magalhaes and Jurrien Timber ended up going off injured during the game.
