Arsenal’s stock $ARS sees massive selloff after acquiring PL bottling limited as Man City becomes top gainers!
From underdogs to topdogs to nodogs From happiness to belief to hope to tears This has been Arsenal title run story
Where did Arsenal get it all wrong?
Arsenal have just one loss or one win for the defending champions' title dreams to be over, Brighton & Hove Albion's gunned down Arsenal fans hearts after they delivered a staggering3-0 win over a toothless Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium, Brighton coach had told the press that the Gunners would see the true Brighton after the humiliating loss against Everton, and they sure delivered, Julio Enciso, Deniz Undav and Pervis Estupinan were all on the score sheet as they put down Mikel Arteta's to the sword in North London by the same with the result in which City beat Everton Roberto De Zerbi's men extinguished the gunners hopes of top-flight win, unless the greatest miracle ever happens and City looses all matches and Arsenal win theirs, Arsenal are on 81 points with two matches remaining, but are four points adrift of Man City, who have a game in hand and will be crowned champions if they beat Chelsea next weekend, while Brighton have leapfrogged Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa into sixth position to strengthen their grip on continental places, the race for European football looks like is going down to the wire, the Gunners play their last away game this season next Saturday against Nottingham Forest, while the Seagulls travel to face Championsleague chasing Newcastle United on Thursday evening
Arsenal Squad rotation and poor planning kills title dreams
Arteta hasn't been good in rotating key players or dropping underperforming players, his lack of rotation for Saka, made the player exhausted and unable to perform in latter stages, In ability to bench Holding and Partey during their poor form cost Arsenal alot of points, also Arsenal poor winter recruitment cost them, they needed a good Partey replacement and Saka back up and a good back striker, they ended up just bringing one attacker and it came back to hunt them as they didn't have much game changers in the squad
Pervis Estupiñán making Marc Cucurella move look smart
When Brighton sold Cucurella, there were doubts on if they could replace him accurately, Pervis was brought and have seamlessly slotted in the team, he has looked sharper in attacking and has also been superb in defensive stage, his link up play, bursting runs and counter press have been vital in Brighton season, and his performance today was superb, as he hurtArsenal were they are weak more, their full backs

◉ Moisés Caicedo
◉ Alexis Mac Allister
◎ Kaoru Mitoma
◎ Pervis Estupiñán
Roberto De Zerbi sais in his press conference that zone players would go and sais Caicedo and Mac Allister are almost certain to go, with the replacement already be sought for, Brighton league position this season, would determine transfer plans, a place in Europe would allow them attract food players and also increase their wage bracket, the focus would now be on how many key players would they hold on, so as not to dismantle a wonderful team in building
Trossard given final blow by ex team
Trossard left Brighton after clash with Coach, and his title hopes were dashed by his former team, with him contributing to the loss with a key mistake, what benefit the move would be to him long term would determine what happens next season, he would have pride he would be playing in Europe premier competition next season, but what will he be next season, starter, squad option or a liability
