Following Saturday’s 1-1 draw between Mikel Arteta’s Liverpool and Arsenal at Anfield, Alisson Becker praised three players from Arsenal.
Trent Alexander-Arnold’s strike against the crossbar in the second half cost the Reds the opportunity to reclaim the top spot in the Premier League standings.
In the opening moments, Arsenal’s lead was given by Gabriel Magalhaes. That was one of the visitors’ only two shots that found the goal (Whoscored). As a result, people like Gabriel Jesus, Bukayo Saka, and Gabriel Martinelli will be angry that they were unable to test Alisson further.
After Liverpool’s draw, Alisson commends the three of Arsenal.
However, the Liverpool custodian expressed his respect for the Gunners three on the team’s website, giving both Virgil Van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate credit for stifling the Arsenal onslaught.
He remarked, “Ibou, everyone knows how strong he is, and he is getting better every season.”
“Despite his size and strength, he is still a young man.” Although he is still young and developing into a more mature player when playing with Virgil, I don’t think anyone realises it. They performed a fantastic game, but so did others. They played a fantastic game since everyone supported them in carrying out their duties.
However, they are incredible strikers, and their defence was excellent in the one-on-one matches against Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli, and Bukayo Saka.
Gunners obtaining elite gear should alarm rivals.
The attacking players at Arsenal have had a mixed season. In the Premier League, Bukayo Saka has undoubtedly had the biggest impact, tallying five goals and dishing out six assists.
Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus, meanwhile, each have four goal involvements. Thus, it is necessary to conclude that neither has truly contributed enough to Mikel Arteta’s cause.
To be honest, Martinelli hasn’t looked like himself at all this season. Prior to the start of the new year, he had already scored seven goals in the league.
Arsenal’s opponents will be concerned that the team hasn’t yet reached peak performance. And yet, at Christmas, they find themselves at the head of the table once more.
It will be difficult for teams like Manchester City and Liverpool to stay up with Arsenal if everything goes well for them.
