#2 Defending counter-attacks and set-pieces
Arsenal is probably the weakest side from the "top 6" when it comes to defending, especially during set-pieces and counter-attacks. Unai Emery has worked on the defensive aspects of the team, but they are still miles behind the quality City and Liverpool possess when it comes to defending.
Even a 3-man defence can't hold off counter-attacks, and Unai Emery has to give answers. Sokratis has been giving world-class performances for the club, but the lack of a natural CB alongside him is causing the problems, as Koscielny is still not at his best.
Arsenal is highly vulnerable at the back, and the amount of saves Leno pulls off in a match is enough to support my claim. The quote "Attack wins you games, but defence wins you titles" could not get more relatable.
Arsenal is grabbing points because of the sole reason that they outperform their opposition in the attacking departments. But if they continue to concede, I doubt if they'd be in the top 4 by the end of the season.
