Keane’s Observations: Liverpool’s Goals and Arsenal’s Needs…
When Hugo Ekitike shot Liverpool into the lead against Bournemouth, it was as if Arne Slot had a magic wand and only used it to score more goals rather than defend. Their play style could make Olympic sprinters look like they’re moving in slow motion! Liverpool racked up four goals by the end, which resembled a high-speed joyride with no brakes. Meanwhile, Arsenal took a more conservative route under Mikel Arteta, who spent like he’s building the world’s biggest Lego set, version Arsenal attack.
Manchester United vs Arsenal didn’t quite sizzle like a fireworks show, but at least defender Riccardo Calafiori managed to light a sparkler and score the only goal. Arsenal’s struggle to turn shots into goals felt as if they were trying to turn water into wine with a sieve! Roy Keane channeled his inner philosopher and pondered, “Why settle for one when two is twice the fun?” Manchester City seemed unfazed, coasting along as if on a summertime cruise with Erling Haaland wearing Captain’s hat. Meanwhile, Jamie Carragher raised an eyebrow at Liverpool’s Swiss cheese defense, hoping they patch those holes before the next wave of counters.
