Only saving grace things have to get better, don't they?
Strange how we all see things differently - I thought we looked pretty neat in possession in that half, and reasonable going forward in midfield! Every team concedes loads of possession to Arsenal who are, as you say, a class act.
We seem to be more intent on harrying them further up the pitch today, which is a good thing IMO
You are right, I thought we were awful, IMO every time we did get the ball we gave it away stupidly. I would not mind a good interception, but it was just sloppy passes (stats just come up 75% complete) . Arsenal were class, hard to understand why the fans want AW out, third in the table and play like that, us football fans generally must be hard to please.
Back to us though we made it far to easy for Arsenal to look good, you would think our players had never seen a 1-2 before, time after time they walked past us at will. For me the only saving grace was we only lost by 2.
