Gosh, Emery got his team selection right against Bournemouth and Tiny Totts!
!
The vast improvement is the inter-passing in the final third with players understanding each other movements and able to execute swift one-two successfully some of the time. Still need improvement there.
But what I loved to see was that when any of the dangerous players like Son or Kane received the ball, they were instantly surrounded by 3 Arsenal players to apply the high press to win back the ball.
I will love to see this kind of high press against ManU - like Ramsey sticking to Pogba like he did against Jorginho ... and instantly press Rashford, Lukaku and Lingarrd when they received the ball in our third.
The worrying part is how will Xhaka-Guendouzi fair against Herrara-Perriera in midfield battle?
"The idea is to be more unpredictable every year and be more difficult for the opponents to stop and nullify what we want to do. That’s what we have now, especially at the back and in the midfield the options we have, to open up the spaces, we have many more options than we had last year.” Mikel Arteta
