I swear I didn't plan it this way , but I did again catch the game on flight back home last night. So much for the lucky charm.
We weren't at our best, I give Arsenal credit for that they did pretty much what you need to do to win at SJP these days. I still hate Arteta though and seriously hope they fall back to struggling for 4th next season.
I think Bruno had his worst game for us, came up against a quality midfield but he hardly got anything right himself. Joe too but for him at least we know he's at his best wide left. I said this after the Southampton game too when he conceded posession for their goal (did again for the play that eventually led to the first goal yesterday), he gets himself into trouble in front of the defence and seems to think he can wriggle out of it but for me he's not one of those players that are very good at that. Loses the ball way too many times in areas that leave the defence outnumbered. He seems to have forgotten how to shoot too, completely fluffs the ball when you would expect any decent player to at least make the keeper work. It's perhaps unfair to single him out when nobody was very good yesterday, but it was a very very frustrating performance. Not sure if its been discussed, need to deal with the jetlag and a shiteload of work emails before catching up with the thread.
