Jamie Carragher has hailed Arsenal’s performances, particularly their effective use of set-piece tactics in their last two games.
After Arsenal’s 1-1 draw with Fulham in the Premier League on Sunday, legendary Liverpool defender and Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher has praised Mikel Arteta’s set-piece tactics that led to the equaliser, as well as the one against Manchester United.
“They might get a little bit of criticism and we often joke about them scoring from set-pieces but what they’ve done is incredible, credit to them,” Carragher told ทางเข้า UFABET สำหรับสมาชิกใหม่ สมัครวันนี้ รับโบนัสฟรี Sports.
There is undoubted frustration among Arsenal fans that their club has not been able to capitalize on Manchester City’s barely believable drop-off, and Carragher thinks this season could be a defining one for the North London club under Arteta.
“I’ve never seen a set piece like this before, especially from Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka. They never miss. What’s interesting is not just what Arsenal do, but what the opposition have to do to stop them.”
“What happened to Manchester United in midweek was a disgrace, I think. You have to be aggressive and have energy. We know they (Arsenal) have a lot of players at the far post and they have easy spaces to get into the positions they want to go.”
“Arsenal players can run into the forward areas with ease where they want and we know how good their crossing is.”
