Overview of Port Vale V Arsenal
Mikel Arteta is fortunate to lead Arsenal to a trophy well necessary for the EFL Cup this season with their countryside opening in Port Vale tomorrow evening.
For all the progress that the artillerymen has made under Spanish, the only Argena claimed at his sixth anniversary was the FA CUP 2020.
They got closer several times, especially in the Premier League, but the murmurs of dissatisfaction barely start to grow with Arsenal already five points behind the champions in title Liverpool after the 1-1 draw Sunday with Manchester City.
The former Arsenal midfielder Ray Parlor urged Gunners’ fans not to panic and rightly stressed that the season was still in its infancy.
The triple winner of the Premier League, Parlour, told Hayterstv: “It’s still early.
“Liverpool has not yet been great, but they have still won all the matches. They are they to beat this year, but Arsenal has the team and the quality of the challenge. If they beat Liverpool to the Emirates later in the season, it could be a big turning point.
“As much as you want to win every match, there is still a long way to go. Do not panic now – Arsenal is still good enough to win this title.”
Vale took a slow lifespan in the One League after the promotion, but entered this match in the back of two victories, the most recent against Mansfield this weekend.
The boss Darren Moore was not impressed, however, after his team needed a goal from Ronan Curtis in the 95th minute to beat a Stags team which was reduced to 10 men in the 14th minute.
The former Sheffield boss on Wednesday said: “There were a few words of choice, say for myself in the wardrobe of players because their goal should never have happened. The sending on their part made things really difficult because they ended up with the 10 players behind the ball.
“The match ended up being about Port Vale winning the match. We needed this momentum to find the goal, because we knew they were seated deeply in and around their box.”
