The Guardian FootballStumbling block: Wirtz's and Liverpool’s costly struggles against tight defences | Andrew Beasley
Credit to Arsenal for restricting opportunities at Anfield but Iraola will need his side to learn to unpick low backlines Liverpool did not have a shot on target in their 1-0 defeat by Arsenal on Sunday, according to Opta, the first time they have drawn this type of blank in a Premier League game at Anfield since records began in 2003-04. They did not find the target in a goalless draw at the Emirates Stadium this year either, though in both games they struck the woodwork. The margins tend to be fine when recording statistical outliers. If Alexis Mac Allister’s floated ball from distance into David Raya’s waiting arms had actually counted as a shot, would Andoni Iraola’s side have delivered a markedly better attacking performance? Far more concerning for the Spaniard will be that his team had 52 touches in the Arsenal penalty area (which is good) to create only one Opta‑defined big chance (which is bad). The Premier League average this season is five times more efficient; 10.3 box touches per big chance. Continue reading...

The Guardian Football‘I’m not here to be liked’: Glasner defiant as Brentford capitalise on Forest woes
For Oliver Glasner and Nottingham Forest, the future starts now. His post-match press conference lasted 14 frustrated minutes in which, repeatedly banging the desk, he blamed himself for compromising his principles and told players that if they didn’t “buy in” they could “leave”. “For me, I go home and have breakfast with my family, so it’s not the worst situation,” Glasner said. “Nobody needs to have pity with Oliver Glasner. If I want, I could start in two weeks somewhere else. I won’t do it. But the players, the staff, they remain in the same situation. And it’s the same shit situation that the club had last year. So you need to change and rebuild from the bottom to the top. And this is clear for me. And this is what I will do. And without any compromises, zero, zero.” Continue reading...

The Guardian Premier LeagueAyari on target as Brighton stun Manchester City to close gap on leaders
Manchester City have lost two consecutive league games, but no alarm should be sounded. Enzo Maresca’s fast-passing team were defeated on Saturday because Yasin Ayari took one of Brighton’s rare chances, the 11th-minute winner deriving from what appeared a wrongly awarded free-kick for Elliot Anderson’s foul on Ayari. Brighton can be proud of victory here – and of being third. They are worth the lofty position and who would bet against Champions League qualification? They protected their lead admirably because City kept coming at them: City’s problem was the final touch or finish and not creating enough for the lethal Erling Haaland. Continue reading...
