As the north London derby races towards an inevitable final game, the sight of the Arsenal boss leaping at the edge of Postecoglou’s eyebrows grows stronger and more sinister, and a man to follow suit.Like the broken priest in The Omen.Fate was foretold by the shadow of the cathedral that emanated from his back.
Mikel Arteta’s side won this game thanks to a clean header from a corner.But zoom in a bit and segment clearance is only part of the package.It’s characteristic of this Arsenal era’s madness for detail, a combination of athleticism from pressing to passing. Therefore,corners, Includes headers and artful entry.
The decisive moment arrived in the 64th minute.Bukayo Saka cut in a corner from the right wing which diverted attention past the forward line.Gabriel Magalhães unleashed a wonderful flick of the neck to slot his header into the back of the net, the ball falling behind.
His name was Nicolas Jova, a set-piece specialist who was immediately gripped by a coach’s hug and was still on his feet, slightly wild and excited when the game resumed.It must be said that Postecoglou is not some kind of luddite anti-set piece fanatic.Spurs have a new manager who looks after this side, but Arsenal are better.Here, Spurs delivered four set-pieces in the opening 10 minutes, all of which were comfortably won by the Arsenal players.
Jover is a revolutionary, game changer he is called a visionary.Of course he must have incredible pounds.His entire afternoon was basically a series of squats, jumps, jogs, and block walking.It’s a slightly strange new dynamic.But the current focus is to a certain extent bad.The Premier League and its broadcasters are known for fresh meat, Fresh content is being mined.Soon we will have Scottish mining stock kit coaches,set-piece Clough set-piece Ferguson; Mourinho, our first set-piece coach. Here’s what we can expect from the flaming bad boy soon.
Of course, Arsenal won this game in a number of other ways, all linked by the same mania for detail and planning.The midfield was missing Martin Ødegaard, not Declan Rice, but it had an energy and swagger to it.
Jurriën Timber and Gabriel Martinelli occasionally looked like a classic carpenter on the left.Leandro Trossard really tried center stage by theatrically ripping off his shirt and opening the door C-3PO-style.Even 17-year-old Ethan Nwaneri put up an impressive fight.In the end, the details are obvious enough.
