On October 28, in the 9th round of the Premier League, Arsenal drew 2-2 with Liverpool at home. Roy Keane stated that the Gunners retreated to defend after taking the lead, and this complacent attitude will make it difficult for them to challenge Manchester City.
In this match, Arsenal, despite leading twice, was equalized by Liverpool on both occasions, ultimately settling for a 2-2 draw.
Keane commented, “From Bukayo Saka’s post-match interview, you can see that he is very disappointed, and I am now starting to worry about the mentality of the Gunners. When Arsenal took a 2-1 lead, they were not thinking about how to extend their advantage but chose to retreat. Whenever Arsenal players had physical contact with opponents, they would roll on the ground, trying to waste as much time as possible.”
Keane added, “Playing at home with a 2-1 lead and the support of the fans, the team should be giving their all to win the game. I don’t believe Arsenal, with such a mindset and belief, can challenge Manchester City.”
