Assna bottling it :lol2: get in
City has set a very high standard to win the league. If Arsenal collapse now and lose it by a large margin then they’ve bottled it. If they keep on doing well but end up losing it by 1-3 points like Liverpool of last season then that’s not bottling it.

The pressure is on for sure, it’s now or never for Arsenal. City has to play in the FA cup and CL and wants to win those too and next season Arsenal won’t be playing once a week like they’re doing now. Their team can’t handle multiple competitions at once.

Its now or never because next season it’ll be even harder. they must go to Etihad looking to beat City at home if they truly have the mentality of champions.

They've dropped 4 points from being 2-0 up in the past 2 games. Plus missed a penalty today. It looks like they are bottling it but there are a lot of games to go.

Anfield is a really difficult place even in a bad season, and Westham is a derby so they have that as an excuse. You’re right there’s lots of games left so we’ll see. I feel they might do well until they lose to City and then will collapse once they’re on equal or lesser points

De Zerbi is fast becoming the darling of EPL commentators and is hailed as the second coming of Jesus in EPL








Here is a question : which Italian coach had the biggest impact in premier league?

for me it is Conte, rarely any EPL team used a three man defence in the two decade prior of the season 2016-17 (Antonio first season @ Chelsea), four man defence was the default with the 4-4-2 the most used tactical setup. By 2020, the 3-man-defence was enjoying a revival as almost one third of the premier league were using the 3 man defence as their primary set up .

and of course a big shout out to Mazzarri who forced Conte to switch his tactical system in the famous Juve -Napoli of 2012
