Zhan Jun: I don’t know why Arteta didn’t remove the very tired Merino, which led to him being sent off

May 12th In the 36th round of the Premier League, Liverpool 2-2 at home, and Zhan Jun commented on social media after the game.

Zhan Jun: Both teams played good goals in the first half, and the two matches this season were 2:2, which was very interesting. Liverpool's first half of the game was good for switching and training, and when the pace slowed down in the second half, there was a problem with the decline in enthusiasm for defense. Robertson's left and Salah's right have many problems recently, and Jota and Nunez are also relatively low in efficiency. This season, the Reds and the Gunners remain unbeaten in the "Six Civil Wars", and Liverpool should have a "sense of crisis". Arsenal worked hard, and Odegao's retracement adjustment in the second half also worked. Unfortunately, I don't understand why Arteta did not remove Merino, who was very tired from the naked eye, which led to him being sent off with the second yellow card. Arteta made mistakes in the starting lineup in the last round. Just score one point against Newcastle in the next round, and the Gunners can ensure a place in the Champions League next season!
