Time and again, they allowed the Canaries to pick the ball up lightyears away from Bernd Leno&#8217;s penalty area before simply standing off them and conceding territory.<\/p>\n<p>Before they knew it, Norwich were on the edge of the Arsenal box with the Gunners out of shape and split open by some simple passing combinations. On another day, without some Leno heroics, the result could have been much worse.<\/p>\n<p>Especially against a side like Norwich, who love being in possession but are liable to the odd lapse themselves, Arsenal cannot afford to allow the opposition to travel so far with the ball without some kind of challenge.<\/p>\n<p>They have to press to force the mistake but &#8211; more importantly &#8211; their centre-backs aren&#8217;t competent enough to handle sustained pressure, so keeping the ball away from them for as long as possible would be advisable.<\/p>\n<p>Ljungberg fielded the likes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Alexandre Lacazette and Joe Willock from the start on Sunday, while he also introduced Bukayo Saka, all of which are mobile, intelligent players, capable of carrying out an organised and sustained press.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1117935\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/features\/norwich-arsenal-analysis-ljungberg-emery-mustafi-pukki\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1117935\" class=\"wp-image-1117935 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/12\/01155736\/norwich-arsenal-match-result-feature-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/12\/01155736\/norwich-arsenal-match-result-feature-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/12\/01155736\/norwich-arsenal-match-result-feature-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/12\/01155736\/norwich-arsenal-match-result-feature-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/12\/01155736\/norwich-arsenal-match-result-feature-66x37.jpg 66w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/12\/01155736\/norwich-arsenal-match-result-feature-620x350.jpg 620w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/12\/01155736\/norwich-arsenal-match-result-feature-940x530.jpg 940w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/12\/01155736\/norwich-arsenal-match-result-feature.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1117935\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">READ MORE: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/features\/norwich-arsenal-analysis-ljungberg-emery-mustafi-pukki\">Norwich draw proves how deep Arsenal\u2019s problems run &#8211; Five things learned from Carrow Road<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p>It seems strange to criticise Arsenal&#8217;s lack of killer instinct after they scored two goals but they honestly should have had so much more.<\/p>\n<p>From Lacazette&#8217;s effort which was saved by Tim Krul during the opening five minutes to the absolute barrage of corners the Gunners enjoyed throughout the match, Arsenal created a ton of chances against Norwich.<\/p>\n<p>However, one of their two goals came from a penalty which had to be retaken after VAR spotted some encroachment in the box.
