Post-Match Reaction: Arsenal vs. Liverpool 2-1 | TotalTactics Football Podcast Episode 14

In a game where Arteta opted for heavy rotation in preparation of the FA cup semi-final match vs Pep Guardiola's Manchester City side, Arsenal saw a victory after falling behind early from a well-worked Liverpool goal from Robertson, Mane, and Firmino. We saw Arsenal capitalise in the 2nd quarter of the game late in the 1st half with their pressing intensity and individual mistakes that are out of character from Virgil Van Dijk (VVD) and Alisson. This contributed to both players having their first error leading to a goal in the season, a slight shock for most viewers who have watched the last two seasons and the body of work of the Liverpool defence that has come with it. This was a large positive for an Arsenal side that opted for a new back-line today, making use of Tierney who was able to handle Salah's flank well, together with the help of Saka who defended mostly versus Trent Alexander Arnold (TAA). We also discuss the somewhat controversial yellow card today that was not further reviewed, in light of other historic VAR incidents in the Premier League this 2019/20 season. A key factor for today's win was the hunger of Lacazette, something we have seen consistently post-lockdown. He becomes the lynchpin for our discussion on Arsenal transfers outgoings and incoming, as well as who to lock down and keep. With Ceballos looking a likely buy, we discuss whether Arsenal has the finances to keep Lacazette given that the young Nketiah seems primed for his place in the side (despite his youth and inexperience), in consideration that Aubameyang is the top priority for Arsenal to keep.
