Henry explains why Liverpool is doing better than Arsenal this season.

It's safe to say that Mikel Arteta's team at Arsenal is not performing at their best this season. Thierry Henry, a legend at the club, recently shared his thoughts on the matter, stating that Arsenal seems to be playing with the mentality of avoiding defeat rather than going out with an aggressive and attacking mindset like Liverpool.

At the moment, Liverpool is at the top of the Premier League table with only one loss in their 15 games so far. In comparison, Arsenal is six points behind and has already played one more game. During his appearance on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football, Henry pointed out a few issues with Arsenal's gameplay, particularly their lack of dynamism.

He also mentioned that the team seems to rely heavily on Bukayo Saka, which has made their attacks quite predictable and one-dimensional. They have become so reliant on scoring from set-pieces that it has become their primary form of scoring. Henry believes that this is not just a tactical issue, but also an attitude problem. He feels that Arsenal is not approaching matches with the same ruthless and aggressive attitude as Liverpool, who are clearly determined to win the league.

Henry also touched upon the importance of adapting and evolving as a team. He believes that Arsenal needs to find new ways to attack and score, rather than relying on the same predictable patterns. While scoring from set-pieces is not a bad thing, it should not be their only form of scoring. Henry urged the team to stick to their attacking style of play and not stray too far from it.

This weekend, Arsenal will have the opportunity to close the gap on Liverpool as they take on Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. Meanwhile, Liverpool will face off against Tottenham. It will be interesting to see if Arsenal can take Henry's advice and approach the game with a more aggressive and attacking mindset. Only time will tell if they can catch up to Liverpool and truly compete for the Premier League title.
