Lampard says Arsenal will struggle in Premier League after losing to Coventry.

Frank Lampard, the manager of Coventry City, shared his thoughts on the team's recent defeat against Arsenal in a Premier League match. According to Lampard, Arsenal's physicality was evident from the touchline, and he believes they showed why they are the reigning Premier League champions. Coventry City, who dominated the Championship last season, were unable to pose a threat to Arsenal in their Premier League return.

Despite registering only one shot on target, Arsenal managed to score three goals, thanks to Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka, and Martin Odegaard. Lampard admitted that his team struggled to cope with Arsenal's defensive organization and felt their physicality from the touchline. He also praised Arsenal's all-around strength and technical level, stating that they are the best team in the league when it comes to playing without the ball.

In an exclusive interview, Lampard further explained his tactical approach against Arsenal, saying they decided to be more in the middle of the pitch to delay and work the sides. However, he acknowledged that Arsenal has the ability to hurt any team with just a few moments of brilliance. The former Chelsea player also mentioned that it's a clear step up to play against Arsenal, who proved their dominance in the league last season.

He believes that plenty of teams will struggle against Arsenal this season, and it's a part of the acclimatization process to the Premier League. In a separate interview, Lampard reassured Coventry's fans that the team is fine and that many teams will struggle to win at Arsenal's home ground this season. He also expressed his understanding of how difficult it can be to come back from a 3-0 deficit, especially when conceding a goal early in the second half.
