Arsenal‘s midfield master class shows that they are in it, to win it
The weekend’s fixture between Arsenal and Liverpool was billed as a battle between Arsenal midfield and Liverpool’s attack. In the end, Ramsey & co. got the better of Liverpool’s attacking duo of Suarez and Sturridge and stopped them from adding to the 14 goals that they had scored coming in this game. This was exactly the sort of response Arsene Wenger would have been hoping for, especially after a disappointing defeat to Chelsea in the League Cup in midweek.
Arsenal’s midfield totally ran the show and what was even more impressive was the fact that their defense was so water-tight that the two forwards barely had a sniff all game. With games against the big teams on the horizon, Arsenal have some leeway, but with the kind of form they are in, it looks like that wouldn’t be necessary at all.
