…

Manchester City's 2-0 victory over Chelsea took place at noon. Not long after the game ended, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Arsenal's home game against West Bromwich Albion started at the Emirates Stadium.

As a result, what no one expected was that even though West Bromwich Albion missed a penalty kick in the first half, they were still able to score three goals in a row in the second half, completely defeating Arsenal's defense.

sieve.

Although Arsenal's Nasri scored two consecutive goals to close the score, they failed to equalize in the end.

Everyone was surprised by the upset.

West Bromwich Albion is a newly promoted team. Although they are ranked tenth in the league, who would have thought that they could beat Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium?

But it can also be seen from this game that Wenger's team's strength has really declined significantly this season, especially after Robin van Persie and Adebayor left the team, the overall strength has plummeted.

Here he was upset by the deputy squad leader, and there was Robin van Persie scoring a lot of goals in Manchester City, which formed a very sharp contrast.

If there were still people who questioned Gao Shen's decision and investment in bringing in Robin van Persie before, then now Van Persie has proved his worth and strength with goals one after another, and at the same time telling everyone that he was really good at Arsenal before.

Buried.

Gao Shen was able to dig him out of the Arsenal soil and let him shine, which undoubtedly once again confirmed Gao Shen's reputation as a talented player in football, and once again won unanimous praise from the media and fans.

Due to the national team competition, European competition, and League Cup, this round seems to have become the Waterloo for all strong teams that compete on multiple fronts.

Liverpool drew 2-2 at home with Sunderland, while Tottenham Hotspur lost 0-1 to West Ham United.

Manchester United drew with Bolton Wanderers 2-2 away from home.

Among the top teams, except for Manchester City, none of them won, either tied or lost.

The British media interpreted this phenomenon as a sequelae of multi-front operations.

So why hasn't Manchester City been affected?

A very important reason is that Manchester City strategically arranged for young players to play in the League Cup, which allows the advanced team to face Chelsea in better condition and lineup, as well as the Champions League group stage next Wednesday.

"Obviously, in the advanced season strategy, the league and the Champions League are Manchester City's main battlefields. The domestic cup is not an important option for him. He will even consider using it to train young players."

Now, Manchester City has won six games in a row, overturned Chelsea, and leads the standings with a three-point advantage. This seems to confirm that Gao Shen's choice is correct. After all, the League Cup is indeed too useless.
