📈 Arsenal v Nottingham Forest Form & Tactics
Arsenal will have been slightly disappointed with the final outcome at Anfield a few weeks ago, but will know that the battle for the Premier League title is far from won. Arsenal did receive some criticism following their 1-0 defeat at the league Champions, mainly aimed at Arteta for being too negative.
Some of this criticism is warranted; he could have gone with Eze from the start and sacrificed one of the more defensive-minded midfielders to give Arsenal some creativity. However, some of the criticism aimed at Arsenal is quite lazy and doesn’t account for the real development that Arteta has shown with this side, even if he hasn’t quite been able to get over the line.
These games are crucial for Arsenal, but I get the feeling that panic is starting to set in already in the wider fanbase with the pressure that the Gunners are under this season to claim the ultimate prize. Arsenal will be hoping to replicate their performance against Leeds here, but any more dropped points this early on would see that panic I touched on spiral into real frustration.
I can’t believe that Forest have sacked Nuno. He’s one of the most underrated managers in the recent Premier League era, not only for the job he did at Forest but also his work at Wolves. It looks like his issue was with Edu rather than Evangelos Marinakis, but what’s more important now is that Forest have Ange Postecoglu at the helm - and he’s expected to be in the dugout for this game.
Forest brought in a truckload of players over the summer transfer window, and I'm not entirely sure that Nuno wanted many of them, with some of the comments he made to the media about Forest’s recruitment strategy. What will be interesting to track is how the Forest players adapt to what may be a completely different style of play compared to the one that has brought them so much success over the last year.
My main concern for Forest is their backline, which is a bit strange considering that it was such a key part of their success. I’m not convinced that Murillo and Milenkovic can play as high up the pitch as Ange would like them to, which could lead to Forest being a more open and entertaining team.
