"Teams that come up from the Championship will not be able to play out the back against Arsenal. They're one of the best defensive and pressing sides in the league! The goalkeeper had two or three warnings. Gyokeres just has to settle himself down. Maybe he's reaching but he should do a lot better. That should be the final warning for Leeds, it's ridiculous."
"Neville noted that Leeds had already been given warnings earlier in the game about the dangers of attempting to build from the back against Arsenal's aggressive press. He was particularly frustrated with Perri's decision-making, highlighting how the goalkeeper looked vulnerable in possession when faced with the pace and intensity of the Gunners' forwards. Perri's mistake was a stark reminder of the step up in quality between the Championship and the Premier League."
Leeds United lost 5-0 to Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium, with the scoreline reflecting major defensive and goalkeeping shortcomings. Arsenal applied intense pressure from the outset, forcing Leeds into mistakes when attempting to build from the back. Perri drew specific criticism for poor decision-making and vulnerability in possession under the Gunners' pressing forwards. Pundit Gary Neville warned that Championship sides cannot play out from the back against top pressing teams like Arsenal. Manager Daniel Farke faces the task of addressing defensive weaknesses and improving composure in higher-level Premier League matches.
