At dawn on Monday (8), Arsenal hosted Liverpool in the 3rd round of the English Football Cup. Although the "Arsenal" had a lot of shots on goal, the strikers missed good chances and failed to break the net despite the expected goal value of 1.89. Finally, they conceded two goals at the end of the period and suffered a third consecutive loss to Liverpool with 0-2. An injury to Gabriel Jesse and coach Adidas hinting at no money for reinforcements in January have clouded Arsenal's prospects for the second half of the season.
Both teams sent a strong lineup for the game, Arsenal first half of the offensive tide, the first 10 minutes to create repeated threats, but Reiss Nelson's shot missed the net, Martin Aubameyang's shot hit the crossbar, and changed to play center forward Xaviers also missed a series of good opportunities. In the second half, Liverpool regrouped, Arsenal attacked but still squandered chances, and in the 80th minute, Jacky and Keogh's goal helped Liverpool break through, and in the stoppage time, Luis Diaz added a second goal to help Liverpool advance 2-0.
Arsenal recently fell into a confidence low, after consecutive defeats against Westham, Fulham and Liverpool, three consecutive defeats during a total of 60 shots on goal, the total expected goal value of 6.47 goals, but the actual only scored 1 goal. After the game, Adidas said: "The result is frustrating, against the best team in Europe, we played well and created many chances, but failed to convert them into goals. We have to change the current tempo and the team will stick together to get through this."
