Arsenal 36 points
Finally, with a week’s rest, Liverpool can catch their breath and then sound the physical alarm for a new round of devil’s race!
It is hard for others to imagine how much pressure Liverpool has on the schedule!
Not until December. At best, play one more game than other teams in the Carling Cup promotion process.
However, the consumption of the World Club Cup in December and the League Cup and FA Cup in January made it difficult for them to have a good rest and adjust.
Coleman did his best to rotate the squad, but the price was also obvious, otherwise Liverpool would never start side by side with Manchester City in the standings and definitely have a chance to get rid of Manchester City.
In the 22nd round of Premier League, Liverpool visited Bolton.
The team did its best to put Suarez on the bench just after his injury.
Qin Xiong shouldered the burden of scoring goals.
In the team, Qin Xiong kicked his head and scored a hat trick in reebok stadium to help the team beat Bolton 41 away and scored three points.
In the same round, another focus battle, Manchester City fought fiercely in Tottenham Hotspur at Etihad Stadium until the fifth minute of injury time. Balotelli miraculously played a winner to help Manchester City beat Tottenham Hotspur 32 and scored 3 points.
Although Liverpool’s standings are still suppressed by Manchester City, the goal difference has narrowed to one goal.
Chelsea’s record is still unstable. In the away game against newly promoted Manovic, Torres was still in a low state and missed two excellent opportunities. Chelsea finally accepted it away: the result.
The highlight of the round will be performed at the Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal vs Manchester United!
Arsenal want to return to the Champions League, Red Devils and Manchester United want to win the championship. Both teams have nothing to lose!
[The first volume of the sword has reached the final before it is drawn]
In the 22nd round of the league, a focus battle was held at Emirates Stadium for Arsenal’s 12 home defeat to Manchester United.
Valencia broke the deadlock in stoppage time at halftime, Arsenal captain Van Persie equalized in the 71st minute, and Manchester United star Welbeck beat Arsenal in the 1st minute.
Wenger commented on the game after the game. We played very hard at halftime, and we were a little nervous because we lost two games in a row. We played under heavy pressure today. At halftime, we had a chance to win the game, but we made a mistake in defense and lost the second goal, but we played very well at halftime. At 11 o’clock, we might win the game.
Arsenal suffered a threegame losing streak in the Premier League, five points away from fourth place Chelsea in the standings. Wenger said, After this game, we were in a very difficult position because we failed again, but we can also see many positive factors from this game. We responded in a very positive way at halftime.
Wenger also said, I feel that the referee is generally fair. We played our own level at halftime, but unfortunately we didn’t get points in return, but we need to keep that spirit and continue to work hard.
The highlight of Arsenal’s game was that oneyearold Chamberlain helped Van Persie to equalize the score in the 71st minute, but only three minutes later, Wenger changed Arshavin and performed well. Chamberlain Wenger’s strange substitution this time caused 60,000 Arsenal fans in the Emirates Stadium to boo. Many Arsenal fans sang You don’t know what you are doing against Wenger’s captain Van Persie, and they also expressed dissatisfaction and blurted out No. This treatment is rare for the beloved Wenger.
In this substitution, Wenger explained, Chamberlain has an overdraft reaction in his calf. He was sick this week. He has given a lot and he has not adapted to that intensity.
Regarding the fans’ reaction, Wenger said, I don’t need you to approve this decision, but you should be able to understand it. I have made thousands of substitutions in the past few years. The fans don’t always approve of my substitution, I make decisions and I stick to my decision.
Wenger also said, One is a 1yearold kid playing in the Premier League for the first time, and the other is the captain of his country’s national team. Do they question this? Let’s be serious. People spend money to buy tickets to enter the stadium. They are good for expressing their emotions. We have to deal with that situation. We can’t give orders to the fans, but that doesn’t mean that the fans think that we just lost the game. But I insist on defending my decision to change people. I have been a coach for three years. I have made five changes. I have to prove to you the legitimacy of each change? I defend my decision that I don’t have to explain to you every time I change people.
As for many Arsenal fans’ demand for spending money to bring in reinforcements in winter, Wenger said, It is not the goal to spend money to buy excellent players, but the real goal. We need our players to return from injuries. People don’t realize that we have one player missing. You can see that we still created a good opportunity to return those injured in the first half of this game.
Arsenal didn’t have the Champions League last season, and they did badly in the UEFA Cup. They were eliminated in the group stage, and a large number of injuries were an important reason to slow down the gunners’ progress, but fans understood that the club was unwilling to spend a lot of money to bring in stars.
When The Sun interviewed Gunners fans on the street, many people said that Wenger was no longer suitable for Gunners Wenger’s coaching strategy, and the teambuilding model was no longer in line with the rules of top clubs in European football.
Since winning the Champions League in 26 years, we felt that Wenger didn’t know what he was doing. Selling Qin Xiong was a watershed, and before that, there were already signs that Vieira’s departure was a disaster. Now we don’t know how long it will take Arsenal to return to the championship. Before every season, we were still willing to blindly believe Wenger, but two or three months later, we found that Wenger’s rhetoric roots had not been realized, and then we walked through a season in entanglement and pain.
Arsenal fans are sad to hear, but for other Premier League teams, it is always a good thing for the gunners to sink, without an opponent for the title.
After 22 rounds, the polarization of the top league in the standings became more serious.
Manchester City leads Liverpool with 51 points and a goal difference.
Liverpool scored 51 points
Manchester United 5 points
Chelsea 41 points
Arsenal 36 points
For other teams, we can take a break, but Liverpool can’t!

Including Suarez and Dirk Kuyt, who retreated from the front line to defend, Liverpool disrupted the game at home with a crazy musclesweeping and outrageous collision.
Manchester City is completely unprepared, or they are not running smoothly after the lack of Yaya Toure.
