Pundit Gary Neville believes that Arsenal are ‘in a good place’ after beating Brentford 1-0 on Saturday evening.
Arsenal are ‘getting the job done’ despite not being at their fluent best in the final third.
That is the verdict of pundit Gary Neville, who watched Arsenal beat Brentford 1-0 on Saturday evening.
This looked like being a frustrating night for Arsenal, who were struggling to break down the Bees.
Kai Havertz had other ideas though, popping up at the back post to head home from Bukayo Saka’s cross.
Gary Neville reacts to Arsenal victory
Arsenal simply had to battle through this one and showed great winning mentality by coming up with that late goal.
The result takes Arsenal top of the Premier League table, taking advantage of Manchester City only drawing with Liverpool.
Pundit Neville has now taken to social media to suggest that Arsenal are ‘in a good place’ following that win in West London.
Neville feels that the hype around Arsenal ‘isn’t big’ right now, largely because performances aren’t quite as impressive as last season.
Neville added that the Gunners are ‘solid’ and ‘getting the job done’, which is ‘perfect’ for a team in Arsenal’s position.
The former Manchester United defender highlighted that this Arsenal team – emphasis on ‘team’ here rather than the club – have yet to win a league title so grinding out these wins is ideal for them as they look to go one better than last season.
‘Arsenal are in a good place. Not at their best so the hype isn’t big, but they’re solid and getting the job done. Perfect for a team looking to win a title that haven’t before,’ said Neville.
Even the most ardent Arsenal fans would probably accept that this season hasn’t been quite as eye-catching as last term.
Arsenal haven’t been as free-flowing going forward and chief playmaker Martin Odegaard has yet to really hit last season’s heights.
Mikel Arteta has really tightened Arsenal up though as they have conceded just 10 Premier League goals this season.
That is now the best defence in the Premier League and Arsenal’s control of games – as well as their ability to restrict high-quality chances – is giving them a different edge.
That change may well see Arsenal go even closer to a Premier League title this season, and if their attack can start hitting top gear without sacrificing some of that defensive stability, then Arteta may well succeed where he just fell short last season.
