em...
I think one of the major reasons....
Highbury!!!
the home ground of Gunners...
You may be wonder why I say this...
I watch so many matches for Arsenal in these few years..
I find out that.. as Highbury is so small...
1) they can defend more easier...
2) They could run less
But when they play in other big stadium, for example, they lost in first few yrs in champion league.
Well, they were playing in Wimbley....!!!
also, the small stadium, it affects their attacking styles when they will be away in some giants team...
For example, Robert Pires/Thierry Henry take corners ......
every time when they are at home, they could send the ball to the penalty area/end post.....
but when they play away.. for example, in Old Trafford, except Dennis Bergkamp.. all the rest of players, they could send the ball in front post... .....
It's weird.....
and also.. last year, when they played away vs Inter Milan, that's the exceptional case........
