Just started watching and keeping up with arsenal this season. What is with them and always scoring late game? They do it pretty often. Did it against City, Brentford, Chelsea, United (twice). Is there a reason for this? They look like an entirely different team once the 80th minute hits.

They are the most dominant team in terms of field tilt and how deep the opponent sits back. Source

This means teams will be defending their own box for 80 minutes and will get tired. They are then more likely to switch off and make mistakes the longer the match goes and the more tired they become.

Another factor is that because they have a great record of scoring late on, the players will believe that they can score. The opposite is true that the opposition may believe they will concede late on because of Arsenal’s record. This was certainly the case with Manchester United under Fergie.

"teams will be scared of arsenal scoring late, much like united under fergie" - deluded arsenal fan

nobody is worried about arsenal. teams were worried about fergies united because they were a force. Arsenal are FAR FAR from that. He is wrong, and you've missed the point, of course

Don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone have such blind hatred in my life for any team lmao.

Yeah you’re right though, nobody is worried about arsenal hence why everyone attacks attacks attacks from the first minute of every game against them.

You’re just making yourself more angry by convincing yourself op said that arsenal are as good/better/have won or whatever argument you’re making as fergies United.
